The Cove House Inn

The Cove House Inn is a 19th-century public house on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. It is situated within the village of Chiswell, and alongside Chesil Beach on the esplanade. The Cove House Inn remains one of Portland's most popular pubs, and has been reputed to be one of the best inns for panoramic views in the area. The pub has been a Grade II Listed Building since May 1993. History The current building has been recorded as being early 19th-century, although there is also evidence that the building has origins from the late 17th to the early 18th century. Despite its particularly vulnerable position on the beach, the pub was a survivor of the Great Storm of 1824. The pub's position, overlooking Chesil Cove has linked it to various involvements with shipwrecks. The pub was also a focal point for important meetings on the island. Between 1958 and 1965, construction of a sea wall was completed, and this gave the inn and Chiswell village protection from the sea. In past storms, the sea has been recorded as smashing open the pub's door and roaring into the bar as well as throwing pebbles onto the roof. During the storms of January–February 2014, prime minister David Cameron arrived at Portland to show support for those affected by the storms. During his time on the island he visited The Cove House Inn. Design The pub is built with large square dressed Portland stone blocks, and has slate roofs and stone stacks. The interior was modified during the 20th century; and there are substantial dressed stone walls in the basement, possibly part of an earlier building on the site. Outside of the pub is an outside seating area, overlooking Chesil Beach and the rugged cliffs of Portland peninsular. Noted in the 1975 book "Better Pubs in Dorset", the long open windows of the pub are shuttered in the winter storms for protection. Inside the building is made up of old oak furniture and pictures of wrecks. There is also some carving on the bar backing. References External links Official The Cove House Inn website

The Old Chapel, Robin Hood's Bay

The former Wesleyan Chapel on Chapel Street, Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire, England, was built in 1779. John Wesley is recorded as preaching there on 28 June that same year. When built, the chapel was separated from the cliff top by a row of cottages, a road and a grass bank, but in 1780 there was a major cliff fall, bringing the cliff edge within feet of the building. The author Leo Walmsley was educated in the chapel's schoolroom. In 1936 a new Methodist church was opened in the upper village, and services were transferred away from the chapel. Alternative uses Since closure as a chapel, the building has had various uses, including a time as a fisherman's store, an artist's studio (during the 1950s), an exhibition centre (from 1987), and a secondhand bookshop and vegetarian cafe (until 2005). The present (2007) The lower floor of the Old Chapel is currently in use as a cafe and giftshop, and the upper floor (formed from the gallery area) is now the Swell Cinema. References Lidster, J.

The Old Rectory in the village of Croscombe within the English county of Somerset was built in the 17th century and rebuilt in the 18th. It is a Grade II listed building. The two storey house has a slate roof. The door has a triglyph frieze with a paterae and cornice on twin Tuscan pilasters. It has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It is surrounded by gardens separated from the road by walls. The house was sold for £755,000 in 2007, when it was seen as being "unsuitable for the clergy". In 2014 it was announced by the Church Commissioners that the house would be purchased, for £900,000 as a residence for Peter Hancock the incoming Bishop of Bath and Wells as an alternative to living at the traditional Bishop's Palace in Wells, to provide him with more privacy. The controversial decision was opposed by local clergy and residents, who criticised the lack of consultation. The decision was later reversed after a committee appointed by the Archbishops' Council ruled that the Bishop should continue to live at the Palace in Wells. References

The World's End, Chelsea

The World's End is a Grade II listed public house and restaurant at 459 King's Road, Chelsea, London. It gives its name to the surrounding area at the western end of the King's Road. History It was built in 1897, but the architect is not known. Historic England calls it "a fine example of a public house in the gin-palace genre". The current building replaced earlier buildings, one of which is shown on the north side of Kings Road on the 1795 map; Cary's New And Accurate Plan Of London And Westminster. The old tavern was a noted house of entertainment in the reign of Charles II. The grounds and tea gardens were extensive and it was elegantly fitted out. The house was probably called "The World's End" because of its then considerable distance from London and the bad and dangerous state of the roads leading to it. As it stood close to the River Thames most of the visitors made the journey by boat.

Settle Victoria Hall

Settle Victoria Hall is a Grade II listed concert hall in Kirkgate, Settle, North Yorkshire, England. It is the UK's oldest surviving music hall. Built in about 1852, and designed by Sharpe and Paley, it opened as Settle Music Hall on 11 October 1853. It was the brainchild of local philanthropist Rev. James Robinson, an active member of Settle Choral Society, who proposed that "the building should be such as to answer all the purposes of public instruction and entertainment". Early shows at Settle Music Hall included recitals of classical music, educational lectures and classes, and popular entertainments. It was renamed "The Victoria Hall" around November 1892. From 1919 until 1939, Victoria Hall also operated as a cinema, initially as "The Picturedrome" and later as the "Kirkgate Kinema". In 1921, the building was bequeathed by the Robinson family to Craven District Council. Settle Victoria Hall was restored in 2000, under the management of the newly formed Settle Victoria Hall Ltd, a charity, which was established in 1999 and presents a wide programme of drama, comedy, film, and music as well as community events, workshops, and indoor markets. The building is now owned by North Yorkshire Council, which has taken over the local governance functions of Craven District Council.

Walcot Hall

Walcot Hall is a Grade I listed Carolean country house in the civil parish of Southorpe, Cambridgeshire, England. It lies 2 km (1 mile) south east of the village of Barnack. The house is now within the boundary of the Peterborough unitary authority area of the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire but it was part of the Soke of Peterborough, an historic area that was traditionally associated with Northamptonshire. The house is constructed of limestone ashlar in two storeys plus attic with a rectangular floor plan of nine bays by five and a Collyweston stone slate hipped roof. It stands in some 120 acres of wooded parkland as part of a 1400-acre agricultural estate. In the grounds are two temples by William Henry Ansell. The stables, north lodge and associated structures are Grade II listed. History George Whetstone (1544? – 1587) was an English dramatist and author. He was the third son of Robert Whetstone (d. 1557), a member of a wealthy family that owned the manor of Walcot at Barnack, near Stamford, Lincolnshire. George appears to have had a small inheritance which he soon spent. The original hall on the site was owned by the Browne family whose members included Robert Browne MP. In 1662 the Brownes sold it to Bernard Walcot, who in turn sold it to Sir Hugh Cholmley, circa 1674. Cholmley built the present house in 1678 in place of the previous building. His arms are over a fireplace and 1678 appears on two rainwater heads. The architect is uncertain but the house shows the influence of John Webb. It was owned by the Gainsborough family between 1700 and 1720 and then the Nevile family until 1891. It was then sold to the Dearden family who owned it until 1963, when it was purchased by the Dennises. Members of both the Nevile and Dearden families served as High Sheriff of Northamptonshire. During the Second World War the hall housed the remote operations room for RAF Wittering and was then occupied by the 67th Fighter Wing of the United States Eighth Air Force. Their operations room planned and directed many of the Flying Fortress daylight raids on Germany. In 1947, a reward was offered for the "Return of Valuable Property removed from Walcot Hall, during the Air Ministry's Occupation, 1940-46. belonging to J. W. Dearden. Esq., including Old French Carvings, as part of the decorations of reception rooms, etc." The estate is now a commercial agricultural landholding. The hall is occupied by Darby and Catherine Dennis who sued for compensation over Harrier noise from RAF Wittering. References

A matched pair of pictures by Frank O. Salisbury were installed in the theatre. They were commissioned by the former local member of parliament, Joseph Leckie, "to commemorate the never to be forgotten valour of the South Staffordshire Regiments in the Great War 1914 - 1918" and completed in 1920. One shows "the First South Staffordshires attacking the Hohenzollern Redoubt", the other "the 5th South Staffords storming the St. Quentin Canal at Bellingtise Sept 29th 1918".
