Chester Road North Ground, Kidderminster

The Chester Road North Ground, often referred to simply as Chester Road or Kidderminster, is a cricket ground in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, England. It is the home of Kidderminster Cricket Club, and is currently used for Worcestershire County Cricket Club's Second XI matches. It was opened in 1870. International cricket Kidderminster hosted international cricket in 2005 when the second Women's One-day International between England and Australia was played here. The Australians won by 65 runs thanks largely to 7-24 from Shelley Nitschke, who became the first Australian woman to take more than five wickets in an ODI. First-class and List A cricket Worcestershire played one County Championship match at Kidderminster every season from 1921 until 1973, and again each year from 1987 to 2002. Chester Road was then relegated to a Second-XI ground, and the only first-class game at Kidderminster for several years was Worcestershire's 2005 game against Loughborough UCCE, which the university side won by eight wickets. In 2007, with New Road badly affected by flooding, Kidderminster hosted two Championship games, while in 2008 Loughborough UCCE again visited. First-class cricket returned to Kidderminster in June 2019 when Worcestershire transferred their game against Sussex to the ground because of the threat of flooding at New Road. Worcestershire's first two home matches in the 2024 County Championship were played at Kidderminster in April 2024 because of flooding at New Road. In List A cricket, one Player's County League game was held here in 1969, and a further six List A matches — three involving the Worcestershire team proper and three more contested by the recreational Worcestershire Cricket Board team — were hosted between 2000 and 2002. A further Pro40 game was played there in 2007, as were two Twenty20 matches. In 2010, the ground hosted the Unicorns team in the Pro40 competition. Records First-class Highest team total: 560 by Worcestershire v Derbyshire, 1993 Lowest team total: 63 by Worcestershire v Northamptonshire, 1963 Highest individual innings: 259 by Don Kenyon for Worcestershire v Yorkshire, 1956 Best bowling in an innings: 9-56 by Jack Flavell for Worcestershire v Middlesex, 1964 List A Highest team total: 281/7 (40 overs) by Worcestershire v Northamptonshire, 2007 Lowest team total: 56 (27.1 overs) by Middlesex v Worcestershire, 1969 Highest individual innings: 100 by Moeen Ali for Worcestershire v Northamptonshire, 2007 Best bowling in an innings: 5-36 by Imran Jamshed for Worcestershire Cricket Board v Dorset, 2002 Notes References Chester Road North Ground, Kidderminster from CricketArchive.

Chesters, Humshaugh

Chesters is an 18th-century country mansion adjacent to Hadrian's Wall and the Roman fort of Cilurnum at Humshaugh, Northumberland, England. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The house was built for John Errington of Walwick Grange in about 1771 with three storeys and four bays but was much improved and extended by architect Norman Shaw in 1891. The 1891 work included five two-storeyed three-bay wings and a stable block. The stable block is separately Grade II* listed. Of the five wings, three were diagonal, creating suntrap flanks for the south and west fronts. Shaw's remodelling of Chesters kindled the popularity of the butterfly plan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The estate was acquired by Nathaniel Clayton (Town Clerk of Newcastle upon Tyne 1785–1822) in 1796. His son John Clayton, who succeeded him as Town Clerk in 1822, was a keen antiquarian and excavated the ruins of the Roman fort of Cilurnam adjacent to the house. He made a large collection of Roman artefacts, which is now displayed at Chesters Museum. John's collection contained artefacts inherited via his sister Jane from their maternal grandmother, collector Bridget Atkinson, who is thought to have influenced his development as an antiquarian collector.

Chesterton Hall

Chesterton Hall is a house in Chesterton, Cambridge. It lies in the city of Cambridge in the county of Cambridgeshire approximately 50 miles (80 km) north-northeast of London. Most of the grounds have long since been sold off and the house is now located on one of the major roundabouts of the city. The house dates from the early 17th century. The house was built by the Hobsons: the younger, Thomas Hobson lived at Chesterton Hall in 1627, four years prior to his death in 1631. Build of red brick, the original main south front has two storeys and three bays, with mullioned and transomed windows, including a central oriel, all their stone dressings being renewed, and above them round-gabled dormers. A north wing behind has an octagonal north-west stair tower. The house was considerably remodelled in the mid 19th century, probably by T.H. Naylor, to provide a more ornate front to the west, including a new porch and another rectangular stair tower north of the back wing. It was further enlarged after 1900. Chesterton Hall was sold in 1799 to William Wragg, long its tenant and already a landowner at Chesterton. At his death in 1804 Wragg left the former Chettoe lands to his eldest son William (d. 1829), who devised them to his widow Mary for her life. She survived their only child, a daughter (d. 1834), and at inclosure in 1838 was allotted 328 a. for the 287 a. that she claimed. Other land had passed after 1804 to William's younger son John (d. 1823). John's son William (d. 1859), also Mary's tenant at inclosure, then owned c. 155 a. His widow Elizabeth (d. 1884) married the Cambridge lawyer T. H. Naylor, who until the late 1870s acted as patron of many village activities. William's son Capt. Francis William Wragg, of age in 1865, also inherited Mary Wragg's lands in 1866, but died without issue in 1876, (fn. 20) leaving all his property to his widow Johanna Cornelia. In 1879 she married Theodore Thomas Gurney (d. 1918). Being childless, Mrs. Wragg Gurney had already before she died in 1922 given almost all her Chesterton lands, 403 a. north-west of the village, to St. John's College, Cambridge, of which Gurney had been a fellow. The college sold much of the land for building in the 1930s, the rest after 1945. In 1945 it was acquired from St. John's College, Cambridge by the city council, which converted it into flats. Chesterton Hall was Grade II-listed on 26 April 1950. References

Chesworth House

Chesworth House is a former Tudor manor house, located a mile south of Horsham, West Sussex, England. The original Manor house became a farmhouse and has been extended several times. Part of the building is constructed of brick-clad timber framing, part of brick and part of stone rubble. It is a Grade II* listed building, so designated on account of its architectural interest and its historical association with three queens of England. History The manor of Chesworth originally belonged to an English family, probably killed at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. It was then taken over by the de Braose family. Edward II apparently stayed at Chesworth in 1324. After this it was held by the Mowbray and Howard Dukes of Norfolk. The second and third Howard Dukes substantially rebuilt the house in the late 15th and early 16th centuries; the remodeled Chesworth was large and grand enough to accommodate Henry VIII and his retinue on 24 July 1519 during his summer progress. Queen Catherine Howard spent her childhood at Chesworth under the tutelage of her grandmother Agnes, dowager Duchess of Norfolk, before being sent to court and subsequently attracting the eye of King Henry, and the house was searched as part of the investigation into her (mis)conduct before becoming queen. Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, was arrested at Chesworth; he was executed for high treason in 1572 after which the Crown took ownership of the estate. Chesworth House was then occupied by various tenants, including the Bishop of Chichester (1577–82) and the Caryll family (c. 1586–1660). Queen Henrietta Maria lived there from 1660 to 1661 and Catherine of Braganza from 1674 until 1699. The manor was later owned by the Eversfield family. In 1928 the house was bought by a Captain C. R. Cook who extended it and relaid the moated gardens, incorporating part of the river Arun which runs through the grounds. Subsequent owners included the theatrical agent Laurence Evans and the barrister Eben Hamilton. In 2012 Chesworth House was put on sale for offers over £7 million. In 2018 the house was again offered for sale at an offer price of £6 million. The Tudor history of the house and its connection with the Howards was the subject of a recent article in the Sixteenth Century Journal.

Chettisham Meadow

Chettisham Meadow is a 0.7-hectare (1.7-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Chettisham, 3 km (2 mi) north of Ely in Cambridgeshire. It is managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. The site is grassland on calcareous clay, and evidence survives of ridge and furrow medieval farming. Flowering plants include adder's tongue, cowslip and the uncommon green-winged orchid. There is access from Church Farm on the road called The Hamlet, by a track which crosses the A10, and curves to meet the track called The Balk. A footpath from the point where the two tracks meet leads to the reserve entrance. References
Chetwynd Park

Chetwynd Park is an 18th-century landscape garden with woodland, on the edge of Newport, Shropshire. The park can trace its history back to 1388, when it lay southeast of Chetwynd Park estate. The country house is now lost, but the medieval deer park survives as an agricultural showground, used for Newport Show and other events. The deer park was probably established early in the 18th century, and elements of the pleasure grounds in the 1860s. The country house was built on the banks of the 20-acre Chetwynd Pool, a small lake thought to have formed in the same way as nearby Aqualate Mere. In the 19th century, the park was filled with deciduous trees, including oak, beech, wych elm, horse chestnuts and Spanish chestnuts, and some crab apples. It was stocked with 115 Père David's deer. Before 1891, there was a great arboretum at Chetwynd, which provided cuttings to plant the new church's drive (Leach 1891, 367). J.C.B. Borough also added a strip of land east of the park and north of the Longford, and created a drive to run around the outer edge of that extension, leading from Chetwynd Park to a new lodge on the Longford. This lay opposite the north end of Park Pool. There were other lodges at the south end of the pool, and at the bottom of the drive to the park. The northern part of the park featured a stone icehouse, probably dating from the mid- to late 18th century. Animals that live around the pool are shoveler, wigeon and occasionally goosander. As well as the wildfowl on the pool other birds of interest include all three species of woodpecker, nuthatch, treecreeper, raven, and buzzard. The deer park is owned by the Newport and District Agricultural Society. As well as being the home of Newport Show, which is held on the second Saturday in July each year, there are a number of other events held there each year. In addition, the society has developed the educational potential of the deer park by building a classroom facility known as The Lodge in 2013 and as a result, many local schools and community groups as well as Harper Adams University visit the deer park for educational purposes.

Chew Court

Chew Court is a Grade II* listed building next to St Andrew's church in Chew Magna, Somerset, England. It was originally a palace for Gisa the Bishop of Bath and Wells, however little of the original building survives. After use by a succession of bishops it was sold to the Duke of Somerset. The oldest portion is the gatehouse at the southern end of the east wing. The house was largely rebuilt in 1656, from which a little survives as the Chew Court of today including an Elizabethan doorway with Doric pilasters. The room over the gatehouse is said to have been used as a court-room, with the turrets used for holding prisoners. The house now forms an "l" shape of two wings. In 2011 alterations were made to the driveway leading to the house and additional walls built around the gardens. About 45 metres (148 ft) south west of the building is a medieval well, which was later enclosed with a sandstone well house. References
Chew Green

Chew Green je místo, kde ve starověku stával římský tábor, zpravidla chybně nazývaný Ad Fines. Jde o lokalitu v anglickém hrabství Northumberland, 13 kilometrů na sever od malé vesnice Rochester a 14 kilometrů na západ od vesnice Alwinton, blízko k hranici se Skotskem. Tábor ležel na Dere Street, což je moderní označení římské silnice, která vedla z jihu z Yorku (tehdy se jmenoval Eboracum) přes Hadriánův val až do Skotska. Názvy Název Chew Green byl převzat z pojmenování farmy, která stávala na tom místě. Pojmenování Ad Fines bylo motivováno představou, že až tam sahala Římská říše, tábor totiž stál až za Hadriánovým valem, ještě dále na sever. Latinská předložka ad, pojící se s akuzativem, má význam k, ke, ku, u, na, do, při; substantivum fines znamená končiny, území. Původní římský název lokality zůstává neznámý. Starověk Popis lokality Archeologické vykopávky v Chew Green odhalily komplex, který byl postaven v pěti fázích. Skládá se z římské pevnosti obsazené téměř trvale, dvou římských vojenských táborů (dočasných, pochodových) a dvou trvale hájených pevnůstek. Patří k němu i úsek římské silnice. Jižní tábor zhruba obdélníkového tvaru o ploše 7 hektarů byl obehnán obranným valem a příkopem. Na třech stranách byla brána. Druhý tábor se s tím prvním částečně překrýval a sahal dále na sever. I ten měl tři brány. Důkazy nalezené v pevnosti svědčí o tom, že byl osídlen trvale nebo téměř trvale v letech 43-410, i když pravděpodobně sloužil pouze jako vojenská základna, ne civilní osada. Komplex ležel na březích řeky Coquet mezi jejími dvěma přítoky: Chew Sike na východě, kde byly svahy prudší, a mírnějším svahem nad March Sike na západě. Na východ od pevnosti ležela silně opevněná pevnůstka přibližně čtvercového tvaru, chráněná hned trojicí náspů. Dere Street Tyto památky leží v bezprostřední blízkosti Dere Street. Stopy po této silnici, kterou nechal postavit v 1. století našeho letopočtu (přibližně v roce 79) římský guvernér Británie Julius Agricola, jsou v terénu stále patrné. Datování Datování není jasné navzdory vykopávkám z roku 1936, které provedli Richmond a Keeney. Jiný zdroj uvádí rok 43 až 410. Nalezená keramika pochází z různých dob 2. století. Středověk a doba moderní Ve středověku v tom prostoru vyrostlo několik staveb, včetně malé kaple; důkaz o její existenci je však založen na nepodložených zprávách o vykopávkách v 80. letech 19. století. Rozkládala se zde farma Chew Green. Tato lokalita se nachází v národním parku Northumberland, ve vojenském výcvikovém prostoru v malé vesnici Otterburn. Je to chráněná starověká památka s referenčním číslem N13. Reference V tomto článku byl použit překlad textu z článku Chew Green na anglické Wikipedii.

Chew Green

Chew Green is the site of the ancient Roman encampment, commonly but erroneously called Ad Fines (Latin: The Limits) on the 1885-1900 edition of the Ordnance Survey map, in Northumberland, England, 8 miles (13 km) north of Rochester and 9 miles (14 km) west of Alwinton. The encampment was adjacent to Dere Street, a Roman road that stretched south to York (Eboracum), and almost on the present-day border with Scotland. Archaeological excavation at Chew Green has uncovered a complex of Roman military camps consisting of a Roman fort, two fortlets, two camps and a section of Roman road. The Roman remains were overlaid with evidence of the medieval settlement of Kemylpethe that included a small chapel, although the evidence for this latter is based on reports of an undocumented excavation in the 1880s and must be regarded as insubstantial. The largest camp structure is a square that encloses about 17 acres (7 ha) with a defensive rampart and ditch. Evidence inside the fort indicates it was used as permanent settlement. The encampment likely served only as a military base, not a colonial settlement. The site is within the Northumberland National Park and within the Military Training Area at Otterburn.
