Elmhurst School, Croydon

Elmhurst School is a private 11+ preparatory and pre-preparatory school for children aged 3–11 years located in South Croydon, England. It is the successor to two schools both founded in 1869. History The school has its origins in two educational establishments dating from 1869. In that year Allen Carr and his wife opened a school for young boys in Croydon. He died in 1875 and his widow, Elizabeth, continued the school. In 1885 she bought an empty property called "Elmhurst" in St Peter's Road, South Croydon, and moved the school there. The other 1869 foundation was opened by Clarissa Prince at her father's house, "The Chalet", Croydon. She was assisted by her sister Florence and others. In the 1880s their pupils included the young P.G. Wodehouse and his two elder brothers. In 1894 the sisters bought Elmhurst from Elizabeth Carr and moved their school there. They called their establishment "Elmhurst School, for the Sons of Gentlemen". The previous Principal, Henry Wickham, who purchased the school in 2009, is the husband of the author Sophie Kinsella. The current parent company is Bellevue Education International Limited, which bought the school from Wickham in October 2013. Historically a boys school, from January 2024, the school began accepting girls in the nursery and will be fully co-educational from September 2024. Curriculum The Elmhurst curriculum incorporates the National Curriculum, which is followed throughout the school at Key Stages 1 and 2 in Maths, English, Science and Technology (including Computer Studies), History, Geography, Art, Music and PE. The National Curriculum is extended by the school's own syllabus and schemes of work in these subjects. Religious Education is also taught with the emphasis on Moral Education, the principles being the same for all religions. French is taught throughout the school.

Elmlea Meadows

Elmlea Meadows (grid reference SU079948) is a 6.9-hectare (17-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, England, notified in 1989. The site is listed in the 'Cotswold District' Local Plan 2001-2011 (on line) as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS). Location The site lies to the north-west of Cricklade near the county boundary, and consists of three meadows which have been managed for hay followed by grazing. The meadows overlie the alluvium and gravels of the Thames floodplain. Species The grassland included meadow foxtail and great burnet and supports a rich flora. This is a nationally important meadow area, and supports the nationally rare fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris) and the rare downy-fruited sedge (Carex tomentose). The population of fritillary is the largest reported in Gloucestershire. To the north of Cricklade, in the county of Wiltshire, is North Meadow which is both an SSSI and a national nature reserve (NNR) which supports some 80% of the British population of fritillary. The small area of scrub on the site is dominated by grey willow and crack willow and supports a large number of typical wetland species. It is the only known site for tufted-sedge (Carex elata) in Gloucestershire.

Elmore Court

Elmore Court is a grade II* listed mansion, located at Elmore in the Stroud district of Gloucestershire, England. The original building dates from between 1564 and 1588. History The property has been the family seat of the Guise baronets for nearly 800 years. It was first granted by John of Burgh, who was part of the court of Henry III, with the rent set at "One clove of Gillyflower" each year. The current house was built between 1564 and 1588, and it was altered during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Guise Mausoleum, built in 1733, is in the churchyard of St John the Baptist, the local church. The Guise family was non-resident from about 1685 to about 1845, when Sir John Wright Guise, 3rd Baronet, took up residence. The house had been used as a school from 1778, originally under the Revd. Charles Bishop (died 1788), and later under the Carveth family until about 1830. Its most distinguished pupil was the future surgeon William Lawrence. From 1921 until 1970, the home was owned by Sir Anselm Guise, 6th Baronet. The current owner, Sir Anselm Guise, 9th Baronet, inherited the estate in 2007 from his uncle, the 7th Baronet, with the baronetcy going first to Anselm's father, Sir Christopher James Guise, 8th Baronet (1930–2022). In 2008 and 2011, Elmore Court was the subject of a Channel 4 television programme presented by hotelier Ruth Watson as part of her Country House Rescue series. In February 2013, Anselm Guise's plans for a sustainable new wedding reception venue called The Gillyflower at Elmore Court featured in the BBC2 TV programme, Permission Impossible: Britain's Planners. Elmore Court and The Gillyflower opened for weddings and events in November 2013. Rewilding began in 2020 with 250 acres of the estate, regenerative farming began in 2022 through a collaboration with Wildfarmed, and the building of treehouses overlooking revived wetlands will be complete in 2023. Architecture The two and three-storey limestone building consists of a central hall with cross-wings. The centre of the front of the building has a 19th-century porch with Doric columns. The wrought iron gates at the entrance of the driveway are 300 years old and originally sited at Rendcomb. The walls to the south of the main building were constructed in the early 18th century.

Elsdon Tower

Elsdon Tower ist ein mittelalterlicher Wohnturm im Dorf Elsdon, etwa 16 km südwestlich von Rothbury in der englischen Grafschaft Northumberland. Der Turm, der in ein Pfarrhaus umgebaut wurde, wurde von English Heritage als historisches Gebäude I. Grades gelistet. Das Anwesen wurde erstmals 1415 als Vicars Pele, ein Peel Tower, der vom Pfarrer von Elsdon bewohnt wurde, urkundlich erwähnt. Der Wohnturm, der ursprünglich vier Stockwerke hatte, wurde im 17. Jahrhundert auf drei Geschosse reduziert und erhielt ein Satteldach und eine zinnenbewehrte Brüstung. Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts ließ Erzdekan Singleton eine Eingangshalle und eine zweistöckige Erweiterung mit zwei Jochen anbauen. Das Haus wurde bis 1960 als Pfarrhaus genutzt. In den 1990er Jahren wurde es vollständig renoviert und neu hergerichtet. Die nahegelegene mittelalterliche Motte, die vermutlich Robert de Umfraville zu Beginn des 12. Jahrhunderts bauen ließ, heißt Elsdon Castle. Weblinks genuki.bpears.org.uk: Elsdon, Northumberland Genealogy (Memento vom 23. Dezember 2012 im Webarchiv archive.today) (englisch) Einzelnachweise
Elsdon Tower

Elsdon Tower is a Grade I listed medieval tower house converted for use as a Rectory situated at Elsdon, Northumberland. Originally part of the estate of Elsdon Castle, it later become a rectory and is now a private residence. The original construction dates from the 15th century and has been modified several times. History The property was first recorded as Vicars Pele, a pele tower in the occupation of the Rector of Elsdon in 1415. There is nearby a medieval motte and bailey castle, which was built by Robert de Umfraville and is known as Elsdon Castle. The tower originally contained four storeys, was reduced in the 17th century to only three with a steeply sloping roof above a castellated parapet. It is 13.15 by 9.4 metres (43.1 ft × 30.8 ft), with the longer side running from west-north-west to east-south-east. The walls are about 2.6 metres (8 ft 6 in) thick. It has a timber roof. The parapets display the crest of the Umfraville family, who lived in the area but abandoned Eldon Castle for Harbottle Castle. Subsequent buildings have been adjoined on the north and west of the tower. Between 1820–1826, Archdeacon Singleton built an entrance porch and a two-storey, two-bayed house extension. The tower was Grade I listed in 1953. It was in use as the Rectory until 1960. It was fully renovated and restored between 1995 and 1998, which included a significant amount of archaeological research during the works. The only remaining features of the original 15th century construction are a garderobe and fireplace on the original first floor. The tower is closed to the public but access is available to view it from nearby. References External links GENUKI (Accessed: 27 November 2008)
Elston Chapel

Elston Chapel is a redundant Anglican church to the north-east of the village of Elston, Nottinghamshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It stands in a field and is described as a "solitary barn-like chapel". History Formerly a parish church, the chapel dates from the 12th century, with additions and alterations made in the 14th and 16th centuries. The chapel was created as a separate parish in 1584 and later became a chapelry to East Stoke. In the early 19th century its interior was fitted with pine pews and a gallery. However, by 1872 it was disused and was transferred to the parish of All Saints, Elston. There is speculation that the chapel was formerly the chapel of a medieval leper hospital dedicated to Saint Leonard. The church was declared redundant on 23 September 1976, and was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust on 9 February 1976. Architecture The chapel is constructed in coursed rubble stone with tile roofs, and consists of a nave and a smaller and lower chancel. In the west wall are two small rectangular windows with a larger rectangular window above. In the north wall of the nave is a two-light window with ogee arches and, to the east in a slightly projecting bay is a single-light window with a pointed arch. The north wall of the chancel contains a two-light window under a flat arch. The east end of the chancel has buttresses, and contains a three-light window with ogee arches under a flat head. The date 1577 is inscribed over the window, and at the apex of the gable is the fragment of a cross. The south wall of the chancel and the nave both contain a two-light window under ogee arches. The south doorway dates from the 12th century, and is in Norman style with a round arch and zigzag decoration. Inside the church fragments of the 19th-century fittings still present. There are several layers of paintings on the walls, including Georgian biblical texts and, on the north wall, a large royal coat of arms.
