Holy Trinity Church, Ashford-in-the-Water is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England in Ashford-in-the-Water, Derbyshire. History The Church dates from the 12th century. While some 13th-century parts remain – notably the south door with its original Norman decorative stone arch tympanum featuring carvings of a wild boar and other creatures, and also parts of the west tower – the church underwent extensive remodelling, including restoring the tympanum to its rightful place, between 1868 and 1870 by J.M. and H. Taylor, and was reopened on 24 June 1870 by the Bishop of Lichfield. Parish status The church is in a joint parish with: All Saints' Church, Bakewell St Anne's Church, Over Haddon St Katherine's Church, Rowsley St Michael and All Angels' Church, Sheldon Organ A new organ was installed in 1928 by J Housley Adkins. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. Bells The church tower contains a ring of 6 bells, 4 cast in 1954, and 2 in 1966 by John Taylor of Loughborough. There is also a Sanctus bell dating from 1699, also known as locals as the 'Pancake Bell'. Stained glass The church contains a mixture of Victorian and more modern stained glass. The East window depicts the Crucifixion and is by Heaton, Butler and Bayne (1875). The Cottingham Window (1880) has The Annunciation, designed by William Morris, and below St John by Edward Burne-Jones, originally for the Savoy Chapel (1869). The chalice and the dragon refer to the story that the priest of the temple of Diana at Ephesus gave John a poison cup to drink to test his faith. When he blessed the cup a dragon came out of it, symbolising poison, later used to represent faith and Satan. The Dove in the tracery is designed by Philip Webb. In the south wall by the pulpit the Haworth window (1880) is by Clayton and Bell. It shows the six Works of Mercy included in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats in St Matthew’s gospel. On the north wall the windows are modern. The window of St. Nicholas, Patron Saint of children, was installed in 1953 and designed by Gerald Edward Roberts Smith (1883-1959), head of the Archibald Keightley Nicholson studio, in memory of Alice Tinsley. The window of Our Lady with the Infant Christ was installed in 1960, designed by Francis Skeat. It commemorates Lieutenant-colonel William Herbert Olivier, Sheriff of Derbyshire.

Normanby Hall, Redcar and Cleveland

Normanby Hall is a mansion on the western side of Normanby in Redcar and Cleveland. The manor of Normanby was held at an early period by the de Brus family, of Skelton Castle; and subsequently passed to Marmaduke de Thweng. Later it came into the possession of the Percys, and then, of the Moneys. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the estate belonged to William Pennyman, Esq. When he died, in 1718, buried at Eston Church, his daughters Elizabeth and Joanna, married two brothers – Rev. William Consett and Captain Matthew Consett, sons of William Consett of Linthorpe. The manor lands were split, Reverend William Consett taking the eastern part of the estate, upon which he built the elegant and commodious Normanby House, becoming known as the Manor House. The other brother, Captain Matthew Consett, took the part of the manor with the ancient Hall. The Hall with a moiety of the estate was purchased in 1748, by Ralph Jackson, on the death of Captain Consett and in 1790 he common fields around it were enclosed to become parkland for the mansion. It descended through the Jackson family, in the late 1880s, to Major Charles Ward-Jackson M.P., who was lord of the manor, and who died in 1930. In the twentieth century, it came into the hands of Charles Amer, a former jazzband leader (Charles Amer Orchestra), Middlesbrough F.C. Chairman, owner of the Coatham Hotel, in Redcar, the Marton Hotel and Country Club and, later, property developer. Amer later sold the parkland belonging to the Hall and houses were built. The Hall itself, after several years as a retirement home, is now unoccupied and in a state of disrepair. References

Durham Miners' Hall

Redhills is the Grade II listed headquarters building of the Durham Miners' Association (DMA) in Durham, England. Officially called Miners' New Hall, it is known as Redhills from its location on Redhills Lane in the City of Durham. Redhills was designed by H. T. Gradon in Edwardian Baroque style and opened in 1915 to replace the former Miners' Hall building in North Road. Its debating chamber, made with Austrian oak in the style of a Methodist chapel, was known as the "Pitman's Parliament" and was featured in Historic England's 100 Places: Power, Protest & progress list. The main building housed the office of local Labour MP Mary Foy after her election in 2019. In May 2022, Labour leader Keir Starmer was accused of having broken COVID-19 pandemic legal restrictions at the venue the previous April, by drinking beer and eating takeaway food in a room there with other party members present. This became known as "Beergate". Renovation in 2020s In March 2020 the National Lottery Heritage Fund awarded a grant for restoration and renovation work, with the aim of restoring Redhills as a centre of culture and education. In October 2021, as part of the grant agreement, Durham Miners Association transferred ownership of the site to the Redhills Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

Godmanchester Town Hall

Godmanchester Town Hall is a municipal building in The Causeway, Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, England. The town hall, which was the meeting place of Godmanchester Borough Council, is a Grade II listed building. History Although the town was incorporated under a royal charter from King James I in 1604, it was not until the implementation of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, which saw the town's two bailiffs replaced by an elected council, that the new borough leaders decided to commission a town hall. The site they selected was on the east bank of the mill lade, a backwater to the River Great Ouse: the necessary preliminary works involved raising The Causeway by 2 feet (0.61 m). The foundation stone for the original building was laid by the mayor, Edward Martin, in 1844. It was designed in the Jacobean style and built in gault brick with stone dressings. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of one bay facing north, with a three-light mullioned and transomed window surmounted by a Dutch gable and a finial. Following an increase in the responsibilities of the council in the late 19th century, council leaders decided to commission an extension on a site to the west of the original building. The foundation stone for the extension was laid by the mayor, William Gadsby, in 1899. It again involved just one bay, this time facing east, with a doorway on the ground floor and a two-light mullioned and transomed window on the first floor, again surmounted by a Dutch gable and a finial. Internally, the principal room was the main hall: a wooden board listing the names of all past mayors was installed there in 1911. The building continued to serve as the headquarters of the borough council, but ceased to be the local seat of government after the enlarged Huntingdon and Godmanchester Borough Council was formed at Huntingdon Town Hall in 1961. The building subsequently became the home of the Godmanchester Senior Citizens Club: functions organised by the club included whist drives, bingo games and formal dinners for senior citizens living in the area. In 1998, the building also became the offices of the Godmanchester Town Council, which took over a room, previously used for storage, on the first floor of the extension. In December 2020, a display of lights was projected on the town hall as the culmination of activities associated the local Festival of Lights that year. Remembrance Day marches, held in November each year, have traditionally started from the town hall and moved north up Post Street before arriving at the Godmanchester War Memorial in time for the memorial service.

Durham (Gilesgate) railway station

Durham (Gilesgate) railway station (when in passenger use known simply as Durham and later also as Durham Goods) served the Gilesgate area of Durham City in County Durham, North East England from 1844 to 1857 as the terminus of the Newcastle & Darlington Junction Railway Durham Branch passenger service (later to be incorporated into the Leamside line). Its life as a passenger station was short and it was quickly converted to goods station, a role which it played for more than a century. History The station opened on 15 April 1844 by the Newcastle and Darlington Junction Railway. It was adjacent to Gilesgate and Station Lane. This was the second of four railway stations built to serve Durham City, the first being Shincliffe (later being renamed Shincliffe Town) on the Durham and Sunderland Railway. Due to the inconvenient site of the station, it had a short lifespan, only being open for 13 years before closing to passengers on 1 April 1857, although it remained open for goods traffic. In the 1898 map the station was called Durham and Belmont - Goods Trains and in the 1913 Railway Clearing House map it was referred to as Durham Goods. There was a trainshed to the southeast of the platform with a pair of carriage sidings. A wooden goods shed joined the trainshed and had one single line going into it. Kepier Colliery was nearby which closed in the 1920s. The station closed to goods traffic on 17 November 1966 and the tracks were quickly lifted. The station building is now a Travelodge.

Phare de Paull

Le phare de Paull était un phare situé sur le quai du village de Paull en rive de l'estuaire Humber dans le comté du Yorkshire de l'Est en Angleterre. Il est maintenant protégé en tant que monument classé du Royaume-Uni de Grade II. Histoire En 1836, La Trinity House de Hull a construit un phare de 12 m de haut sur le quai de Paull. C'est une tour cylindrique de 14 m de haut, avec galerie et lanterne, attachée à un logement de gardien de deux étages. L'ensemble du bâtiment est peint en blanc. Désactivé en 1870, le bâtiment a été vendu en propriété privée. Il a été remplacé par deux feux à Thorngumbald Clough et Salt End en 1870, entre le chantier naval et le village. Thorngumbald Clough Low Light, de 10 m de haut, est construit sur une structure métallique posée sur un dalle de 2 m de hauteur. Thorngumbald Clough High est une tourelle métallique peinte en blanc. Les feux de Thorngumbald ont cessé en 1948, mais ils ont été remis en service en 1952. Depuis 015 ils opèrent sous l'autorité portuaire de Hull. Les deux structures sont des bâtiments classés de grade II. Les feux à Salt End, de l'autre côté de Paull, étaient de conception et de couleur presque identiques à celles de Thorngumbald. Ils ont été démantelés dans les années 1960 lorsque le terminal pétrolier BP à Salt End a été élargi.

Pennington in the "English Free" style. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. On the front is a slightly projecting stone porch containing two segmental-headed doorways with moulded reveals, and traceried panels above. Over these is a large semicircular-headed traceried window, on the roof is a wooden bellcote, and on the left is a staircase projection. It has a seating capacity of 192 with a thrust stage. History The building originally opened as a Particular Baptist church in 1910. It closed in 1964 and came into the ownership of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council. For some time, it was used as a venue for local people to receive vaccinations. Between 1995 and 2007, it was home to the council's archives. In April 2013, the East Riding of Yorkshire Council approved planning for the conversion of the building into a theatre, which opened in 2014. The theatre's founder and original artistic director was Vincent Regan, who instead of using Arts Council or Lottery funding, used sponsorship from local businesses. A significant amount of funding also came from the building being used in the filming of Dad's Army (2016). In 2017, Adrian Rawlins took over the role of artistic director, and the role later went to Richard Avery. See also Listed buildings in Beverley (south area) References
Leigh Reservoir

Leigh Reservoir, or Leigh Hill Reservoir, is a small reservoir in Somerset, England. It was built in 1893 to supply water to the town of Taunton, Somerset, which lies to the north. Water quality is good. Location Leigh Reservoir is an artificial lake in the parish of Pitminster, Somerset, 15.1 kilometres (9.4 mi) from the sea. It is to the west of Luxhay Reservoir and south of the village of Lowton, near to Angersleigh. It is 160 metres (520 ft) above sea level. The reservoir is near the southern boundary of the River Tone catchment basin. In 1912 the reservoir had an 8 inches (200 mm) rain gauge 1.5 feet (0.46 m) above ground that recorded rainfall on 180 days of 43.34 inches (1,101 mm) in total. Description A plaque on the reservoir is dated 1893, and gives the surface area of water as 6 acres (2.4 ha) and greatest depth 38 feet (12 m). It was to contain 26,000,000 imperial gallons (120,000,000 L; 31,000,000 US gal). The reservoir was built by Bond & Hitchcock, contractors. It was operated by the Taunton Waterworks. The reservoir today has an average depth of 1.33 metres (4 ft 4 in) and a surface area of 2.128 hectares (5.26 acres), with a catchment area of 20.5 hectares (51 acres). The perimeter is 0.6 kilometres (0.37 mi). Leigh and Luxhay reservoirs are managed today by Wessex Water. In 2013 Wessex Water arranged for installation of physical and electronic security systems in both reservoirs, using a system of pontoons during installation. Leigh Reservoir is accessed via a single entry point on top. A secure access cover was installed, enclosed in a high security cage. Water quality During the Routine Monitoring Programme of 1990 the reservoir was listed as containing "abundant" blue-green algae. No bloom or scum were observed, although there was scum on Luxhay Reservoir. Leigh Reservoir is one of three in the Tone catchment that are monitored under the EC Surface Water Abstraction Directive, the others being the Clatworthy Reservoir and Luxhay Reservoir. A 1998 report said that none of these reservoirs had exceeded the standard for dissolved and emulsified hydrocarbons since UV fluorescence tests began in September 1997. As of 2015 water quality was good both chemically and ecologically. Notes Sources External links Media related to Leigh Reservoir at Wikimedia Commons
