St Leonard's Church, Heston

St Leonard's Church is the Grade II* listed Church of England parish church for Heston in the London Borough of Hounslow. History The church dates from the 14th century, though there are records of a priest in Heston in the 7th century. The Domesday Book makes no mention of Heston but in 1086 its manor was given to Walter of Saint-Valéry by William the Conqueror. The church was later given to the Abbey of Saint-Valéry. In around 1270 Heston was made a separate parish under Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall, the Lord of the Manor. Richard of Cornwall was King John's second son and had served in the Barons' Crusade of 1239, where he succeeded as a negotiator for the release of prisoners. As Saint Leonard is the patron saint of prisoners it is possible that Richard dedicated the church to the saint, although the exact date of the dedication is unknown. The church tower survived the necessary rebuilding works in the 19th century, as did the lychgate. The graveyard contains the grave of Private Frederick John White, who was flogged to death at Hounslow Barracks in 1846. The outcry at the manner of his death brought about a reduction in the maximum number of lashings that could be given as punishment, and eventually the banning of the practice altogether. The naturalist Sir Joseph Banks (1743–1820) and his wife are also buried at St Leonards. Architecture The tower is Perpendicular (late medieval) and was described by Nikolaus Pevsner as 'one of the best of the Middlesex type'. It is similar to the tower of All Saints, Isleworth. It has a south-east turret, diagonal buttresses, a three-light west window and tall, two-light, transomed windows with square heads to the belfry stage. There are embattled parapets and carved gargoyles. The west porch has a four-centred outer arch and foliated spandrels. The body of the church, rebuilt in the 19th century, is in the style of c.1300. The church is a Grade II* listed building. Interior The arch to the tower is tall and moulded and is typical of fifteenth-century work. In the arcades between the nave and its aisles, the piers alternate between round and octagonal as was sometimes the case in medieval churches. The arcade to the outer north aisle has round piers, capitals and double chamfered arches and is said to reuse piers from the old church. The chancel arch is moulded and carried on demi-octagonal responds. The roofs to the nave, chancel and outer north aisle are of arch-braced construction. The tower and nave are divided by a modern glazed partition. Most of the nineteenth-century pews survive, however, some were removed from the east end to accommodate the altar, which has been moved forward. Many of the monuments from the original church also survive. They include one in the Lady Chapel dedicated to Robert Child and his family, owners of Osterley Park, and designed by Robert Adam. There is also a varied collection of stained glass, including work by C E Kempe and Heaton, Butler and Bayne. Gallery Notes References External links

All Saints' Church, Isleworth

All Saints' Church is the oldest parish church in Isleworth in the London Borough of Hounslow in southwest London. Its 14th-century Kentish ragstone tower and foundations are the only pre–20th-century parts to survive. It faces the Thames before Church Street skirts away from the river to pass Syon Park. The parish itself is pre-Norman. A vicar replacing its rector is recorded in 1290 in records associated with Syon Abbey who gave his family £2 and a new robe each year and daily meat and drink at the upper table in the abbey hall, while his servant was to be fed at the grooms' table. The patron of the church became the trustees of St George's Chapel, Windsor, due to the dissolution of the monasteries. By the end of the 17th century, Sir Christopher Wren was approached to draw plans for a new body of a much-dilapidated building. His project was deemed too expensive until 1705, when Sir Orlando Gee (MP), of Syon Hill in the parish, left £500 towards the work in his will; he is commemorated in a marble monument by Francis Bird. This sum, combined with funds raised through subscriptions, ensured that the work took place (with modifications) in 1705–1706. The music theorist Marmaduke Overend served as organist from 1760 to 1790. In 1943 a large fire, started by two boys who a few days later set fire to Holy Trinity Church in Hounslow, led to complete internal reconstruction in lighter materials. The inner body of the present church was built in 1970 by the architect Michael Blee, who designed much of Douai Abbey, and the glazier Keith New; the 15th-century stone tower was retained. The Grade II* listed church won a Civic Trust Award in 1973. References

All Saints' Church, Bow Brickhill

All Saints' Church, Bow Brickhill is a Grade II* listed parish church in the Church of England in Bow Brickhill, Buckinghamshire, to the south-east of Milton Keynes. History First mentioned in 1185, a major renovation occurred in the 15th century. Having become greatly dilapidated, the church is said to have been disused for nearly 150 years; but was restored through the munificence and exertions of Browne Willis, the antiquary, who, in 1756, promoted a subscription for that purpose. In 1834, by a re-arrangement of the interior, 175 additional sittings were obtained. It was used during the Napoleonic Wars as a telegraph station. Architecture and fittings The component parts are a nave with side aisles, and a south porch, a chancel, and a west embattled tower, in which are four bells. The bells are unringable as of 2023. The whole is a good specimen of Perpendicular work, without the least mixture of any other style, or the introduction of modern windows; the latter are nearly all square-headed. Three arches on each side divide the nave from the aisles. The central cross beam of the roof bears the date of 1630. There is a piscina in the south aisle. The carved oak pulpit was brought from the old church at Buckingham, upon the erection of the modern edifice. The font is octagonal in form, and on the pedestal supporting it, are four eagles displayed. The compartments are decorated with quatrefoils and foliage; and one of them has a shield with two Roman T's impaled in relievo. The chancel is plain, with open wood ceiling. Beneath the chancel arch is an oak screen. On the north side is a mural tablet of black marble to the memory of the Rev. William Watson. Parish status The church is in a joint parish with: St Mary the Virgin's Church, Great Brickhill St Mary Magdalene's Church, Little Brickhill St Luke's Church, Stoke Hammond Organ The pipe organ was installed by Kirkland but is no longer present in the church.

Carlton Cinema, Essex Road

The former Carlton Cinema (and then Mecca Bingo) is an Art Deco Grade II* listed building, located at 161–169 Essex Road, Islington, London. It was completed in 1930 as a cine-variety theatre with a capacity of 2,226 seats. Building Architect George Coles is now famous for the many Art Deco cinemas he designed, including the Troxy in Stepney (1933), the Odeon, Muswell Hill (1936-6), and the Gaumont State Cinema in Kilburn (1937). The Carlton Cinema was an early foray into his signature style, with an Egyptian influence. The discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in November 1922 had contributed to a brief "Egyptomania" and influenced the Art Deco style and the buildings erected in that period, particularly cinemas and theatres. The building's façade is covered in black, white and coloured faience, with other walls in yellow brick. The façade has a stylized frieze of lotus flowers in coloured faience running around the ground and upper floors. Inside, the building is mainly Empire style, with Egyptian decorations in the foyer, while the auditorium has a French Renaissance style. In 2024, the building was one of many in Islington that was considered "at risk," but benefited from a renovation in 2025. History The cinema opened in 1930 with a screening of Welcome Danger. Carlton Cinema was taken over by Associated British Cinemas Ltd. (ABC) in February 1935, and was famous for "ABC Minors" Saturday morning screenings. In 1972, the building was converted into the Mecca Bingo Club, a bingo hall which operated for almost 35 years until March 2007. It was purchased by an evangelical Christian church Resurrection Manifestations in 2007, and reopened in 2015 as Gracepoint, a 900 capacity venue available for hire and an active church.

Old Castle Bridge

The Old Castle Bridge in Warwick, England is a ruined medieval bridge. The multi-arch stone bridge was built across the River Avon a short distance south-east of the centre of Warwick town and immediately upstream of the Warwick Castle weir. It is not clear exactly when the bridge was built, but references to it have been found from as early as 1208. By 1373 half the width of the bridge was said to be in ruins, and it was said to have been repaired by charitable means. The guild of Warwick become responsible for its upkeep until 1545. It's likely that the bridge at one time included some form of barrier, to enable it to act as part of the town's defences. A new bridge was built upstream of the old one in the 18th century and in 1795 the old bridge was largely swept away by flood waters. The ruined remains of the old bridge include three complete arches standing in the middle of the river, and fragments on both banks, which are more extensive on the southern bank where the bridge apparently ended in a causeway. The bridge remains are protected by Historic England as a Grade II* listed structure. See also Castle Bridge - the old bridge's 18th century replacement. References External links
