St Chad's Church, Stafford

St Chad's Church, on Greengate Street in the centre of Stafford, is a Grade II* listed Anglican church. Saint Chad, who died in 672, was the first Bishop of Lichfield. The church was built in the 12th century, and is the oldest building in Stafford. The church was neglected in the 17th and 18th centuries, and much of the Norman architecture was obscured; there was much restoration work in the mid 19th century, particularly by George Gilbert Scott. The original building The building is cruciform and has a crossing tower. There is an inscription in Latin on the impost at the north-east corner of the crossing: ORM VOCATUR QUI ME CONDIDIT ("He who built me is called Orm"). It is thought that "Orm" is Orm le Guidon, an important landowner in the 11th to 12th century. The nave is bordered by massive stone columns which have scallop capitals. The columns support four-bay arcades which have chevron decorations on the two eastern arches of each arcade. The crossing arch, at the eastern end of the nave, has chevron decorations, and "beak-heads" on the columns. All these are features of the original Norman building. There are intersecting arches on either side of the chancel; these are original features uncovered during the 1850s restoration. The two windows in the north wall of the chancel have interiors which are the only original window features in the building. The tower was rebuilt in the 14th century; after this the church became neglected. In the 17th century the original aisles were destroyed, the arcades were bricked up, and the transepts were removed. Restoration There was some restoration in the 1740s by Richard Trubshaw, after the west end of the nave collapsed. His work included rebuilding the parapets of the tower and building a new west front, of brick. In the 1850s some restoration of the chancel was done by Henry Ward of Stafford. Restoration work was continued in the 1870s by George Gilbert Scott: he built a new west front of stone, in Romanesque style, and he opened up the south arcade and built a new aisle on this side. After his death in 1878, work was continued by Robert Griffiths of Stafford, using Scott's designs. From 1880 to 1886 he opened up the north arcade and built a new north aisle; he restored the tower, and the north transept. The south transept was built in the 1950s. Furnishings The organ was built by J. Kirkland of London in 1888, and extended by J. J. Binns of Leeds in 1909. It was restored in 1995 by Peter Collins of Melton Mowbray. The font, in Norman style, was built in 1856. The altarpiece was created in 1910 by Sir Walter Tapper. The inner porch, the rood-beam and the telescopic cover of the font were designed in the early 20th century by Sir Charles Nicholson, 2nd Baronet.

St James' Catholic High School, Stockport

St. James' Catholic High School, also known as St James' RC High School, is a Catholic secondary school in Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester, England. Description St James' Catholic High School is smaller than the average size secondary school which became a specialist humanities college in 2004. It teaches ISCED Level 3 and 4, that is pupils between 11 and 16, there is no sixth form. The majority of students come from White British backgrounds and very few students speak English as an additional language. The proportion of students known to be eligible for free school meals is below average. The school is a locally designated centre for students who have a physical disability; the proportion of pupils with a statement of special education needs is above average. The school has achieved Healthy School Status and has Eco-Schools and International School awards. In 2009 the school was recognised as a High Performing Specialist School and awarded Leading Edge School Status. Academics The school performs above the Stockport and National average in Progress 8 (0.31) and Attainment 8(54.8). Ofsted praised the school in 2017, saying the school was good but the outcomes for the pupils were outstanding. They praised the school community, and the pupils eagerness to learn. The pupils felt safe and there was no bullying. "This is an improving school. Pupils learn well and make excellent progress because teaching in English, mathematics and most other subjects is consistently good" Pupils, including the most able, are challenged by their work because the teachers have high expectations of them and plan work that is hard but appropriate for their ability. In Key Stage 3, alternate year groups are taught German and French. In Key Stage 4, about a third of the year group study single sciences- while the majority do combined science. Pastoral matters The ethos of the school is ‘To educate and develop global Catholic citizens'. Behaviour on the corridors and in class is "exemplary". Attendance overall is good in line with the national average. Pastoral managers check carefully on the reasons why individual pupils are absent. A small number of pupils with severe medical needs must often miss school to attend medical appointments and this depresses the published statistics.

Keel Square

Keel Square is a public space and boulevard based in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear, completed in 2015. Located to the north of the City Centre opposite the Vaux Site, the square was constructed as part of the larger St. Mary's Way redevelopment. The total cost of the project amounts to £11.8 million. A celebration of Sunderland's maritime and industrial heritage, the square's name was decided by the city's residents. Design Keel Square was designed by Sunderland City Council’s in-house multi-disciplinary team led by Principal Landscape Architect Kevin Johnson. The central purpose of the square is to celebrate Sunderland's Maritime and Industrial Heritage. Thus to build upon such, the square was constructed predominantly out of sandstone, granite and bronze. Additionally, the square was constructed to supplement the neighbouring Vaux Site in order to create a more attractive business environment in the city As Sunderland Council Leader Paul Watson Quoted: In creating the new city centre public space we saw the opportunity to celebrate Sunderland’s shipbuilding and industrial heritage In 2025, a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge called the Keel Crossing was constructed to link Keel Square to the Sheepfolds neighborhood and the Stadium of Light. The square hosts a unique public art feature to embed the industrial past, known as “The Keel Line”. The start of the line is marked by the sculpture “Propellers of the City” designed by Stephen Broadbent, containing names of those who worked in the Wear shipyards. “The Keel Line” structure represents the length of the Naess Crusade, the largest ship ever launched on the Wear. It is further aligned by a strip of paving listing over 8,100 ships launched on the Wear and incorporate a series of illustrations recording the history of Sunderland by renowned graphic artist Bryan Talbot. Controversy and criticism The new square has attracted considerable controversy and criticism, largely relating to the costs of the project. Conservative opposition councillors in Sunderland criticised the excess amount of money spent upon the project. Additionally, the council were further criticised over the project for spending £180,000 on imported trees from the Netherlands to place in the corresponding boulevard. References

Pecorama

Pecorama (or Pecorama Pleasure Gardens) is a tourist attraction on the hillside above the village of Beer, Devon, in southwest England. In November 2025; the owners Peco announced the site's closure for the 2026 season, citing falling revenues and lack of profits, despite a busy year in 2025. It included a display of many model railways, gardens, a shop, and the Beer Heights Light Railway. The attraction is owned and run by PECO, a UK-based manufacturer of model railway accessories. The factory is on the same site. Pecorama is also home to "Teddy Mac and the Railway Bears", a series of children's books written by Margaret Edmonds. Beer Heights Light Railway The Beer Heights Light Railway was a 1 mile (1.6 km) minimum-gauge 7+1⁄4 in (184 mm) railway. Part of Pecorama, an exhibition owned by Peco, it closed in November 2025. Overview The official opening was by Rev. W.V. Awdry on 14 July 1975, at which time it offered a return ride from "Much Natter" station via a balloon loop. Subsequently, it was almost doubled in length by construction of the "Devil's Gorge" extension which involved a very considerable cutting and tunnel, and the complex track layout also includes a more recent steeply-graded branch line to "Wildway Down". The station at Deepwater was revamped in late 2014 and reopened in July 2015 as 'Deepwater Halt'. The line is notable for its high standard of presentation to the public and for the fine views obtainable from it. It is home to eight live steam locomotives designed on narrow gauge principles. It's temporary closure, for financial reasons, was announced in November 2025. Locomotives The railway had eight steam locomotives, two diesel and one electric.

Pool Academy

Pool Academy is a mixed secondary school with academy status, located in Pool in the English county of Cornwall. History Although other schools had been in the area previously the original Pool School building was opened in 1896. In 1973 work began on a new site across Church Rd and adjacent to Trevenson Church. The school operated between both sites until 2003 when new buildings were added as part of the PFI Schools building scheme. The now listed Victorian school is currently being converted into housing. The school has been known as Pool Comprehensive School and Pool School and Community College before gaining specialist status when it was renamed Pool Business and Enterprise College.

South Walney

South Walney is one of two nature reserves on Walney Island, England. The nature reserve has an area of 130 ha leased from Holker estates. It has been managed by the Cumbria Wildlife Trust since 1963. The reserve is notable for being a colony for gulls and grey seals. The gull colony contains both lesser black-backed gulls and herring gulls. Numbers have declined considerably since the 1970s. Among the reasons for the decline has been predation. In 2021 Cumbria Wildlife Trust reported that a predator-proof fence had protected chicks at the reserve. The reserve is the only grey seal colony in Cumbria. Numbers have increased since the 1970s. Until recently South Walney was classed as a haul-out site rather than a breeding colony, but two pups were born in 2015, and 46 pups have been born since, with nine pups born in 2023 Other breeding bird species include common eider, Eurasian oystercatcher and common ringed plover. The reserve is the home of the Walney Bird Observatory which collates bird records from across the island. Around 300 species of bird have been recorded on Walney Island since the foundation of the bird observatory in 1964. Facilities South Walney Nature Reserve is open daily 10am to 5pm (4pm in winter). The road to the reserve can be affected by high tides. There are bird hides. A seal webcam went live in 2016. Protection Sites of Special Scientific Interest South Walney and Piel Channel Flats are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for biological and geological interest. The SSSI includes the South Walney part of the Walney Island Geological Conservation Review Site. The SSSI is contiguous with two other SSSIs: the Duddon Estuary SSSI (within the Walney Channel, which separates Walney Island from the mainland) the Morecambe Bay SSSI. Special Protection Area Both the Duddon Estuary and Morecambe Bay were designated Special Protection Areas (a protected area under the European Union Birds Directive). In 2016, before the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, there were consultations on a successful proposal that Morecambe Bay and Duddon Estuary be combined in a new SPA. The combined SPA includes a marine extension west of Walney Island to protect foraging areas of terns. This marine extension is not to be confused with the "West of Walney" Marine Conservation Zone (designated in January 2016), which is some kilometres from the coast.

Preshaw

Preshaw (variously named Presshawe, Presthawe, and Preishawe in old documents) is a manor to the north of Corhampton in the United Kingdom. In the 19th century the mansion house Preshaw House was the seat of Walter Long, who inherited the estate on the death of his father, John Long in 1797. He also owned three farmlands on the estate, Little Preshaw, Middle Preshaw, and Lower Preshaw, to a total of 3,225 acres (1,305 ha) in Hampshire. The estate was at the time split across two parishes, Little and Middle Preshaw being in Exton parish and Lower Preshaw in Upham parish. It was probably under the manor of Lomer in the Domesday Book, having been granted along with that manor in 1542 to William Paulet, whose descendants sold in 1707 to Robert Kirby, who in turn bequeathed it on his death in 1721 to his cousins in order to pay off debts to his relatives, who in their turn sold it in 1727 to John Long for £7,600. The manor eventually ended up in the possession John Long's grandson, Walter Jervis Long. His son Walter (1840-1919) was the last of the Longs to inhabit the manor, as he sold it in 1898 to William, Baron de Bush, who then sold it in 1901 to Reginald Harry Cholmondeley. The manor house itself is a two-storey house built of flint with brick dressing that sits on the slope of Millbarrow Down. Its architecture dates it to the 1630s, although it has undergone two significant renovations and additions; including the addition of two gables (to the then existing three) on the front of the house as well as an additional block on the east end in the 18th century, and a further set of rooms on the south of the building in the 19th century. The 18th century additions are close enough to the original to be only noticeable upon close inspection, neither quite matching the older building, the former being entirely faced with brick and having no flint, and the latter using cement. The windows are not the original wooden frames, and the porch on the west side of the house with its modern door was probably not a porch originally. Gallery Further reading Nicol, Cheryl (2016).

St Edmund, Chingford

The Church of St Edmund, Chingford, is a Grade II listed Church of England parish church at Larkswood Road, Chingford, in Greater London. History St Edmund's Church was originally consecrated in January 1909 by the Bishop of St Albans as a chapel of ease for the parish church of St Peter and St Paul, Chingford, in a building now known as the Ryan Hall in Chingford Mount Road. A church hall was built in 1927. The present church was built in 1938; the architect was Nugent Cachemaille-Day, who was a leading British exponent of Expressionist architecture. It has a nave of four bays, with two wide aisles, transepts and a short chancel. A low square tower is over the crossing. The style is described as "simplified perpendicular Gothic". The exterior is clad in knapped flint, reflecting the vernacular Essex tradition. A separate ecclesiastical parish was formed for St Edmund's in 1939. It became a Grade II listed building in 1987.

St John's Church, Portland

St. John's Church (also known as St John the Baptist Church) is an Anglican Church of England church in Fortuneswell, on the Isle of Portland, Dorset. It was built between 1838–40 and has been a Listed Grade II building since January 1951. The churchyard walls, gate piers, railings, and steps of St. John's Church, dating from 1839–40, became Grade II Listed in September 1978. At this same time, two headstone monuments, about 5 metres north east from the west tower of the church became Grade II Listed. Designed by Edward Mondey or Charles Wallis, the church cost £2,315. Built of Portland stone, the church has a Gothic design in Commissioners' Early English style. It has also been described as Norman in its architecture. The church remains active, as part of the Portland Parish - a host of three churches; St John's Church (St John the Baptist), All Saints Church and the Avalanche Memorial Church (St Andrew's Church). History St George's Church, built between 1754–66, was the island's only parish church into the 19th century. However, by the 1830s, it had become too small and inconvenient for the increasing population within Underhill. It was decided that a new church should be built for Underhill as a sister church to St George's. The church's construction commenced in 1838, and was completed by 1840, with the work undertaken by John Hancock of Weymouth. In 1865 Underhill became a parish in its own right, with St. John's becoming the parish church. During 1876 the church underwent renovation and was also enlarged. This included the addition of a chancel and organ chamber by George Crickmay. During 1901 a new Parish room for the church was built and opened at the north end of Ventnor Road. When the Second World War drew to a close, on VJ Day, the 14th Port Regiment of the US Army presented its Stars and Stripes colours to St John's Church, as a memento of its close association with the people of Portland, both service and civilian. In 1968 a Father Willis Organ was brought from St Paul's School, Kensington, London for £2,000, and installed after the balcony was reinforced. The organ fell into disrepair due to lack of use, with repairs quoted at an unachievable £100,000. In 2013 it was sold to the Parish Church of Our Lady of Loretu, Għajnsielem Gozo.
