Bradbourne House

Bradbourne House is a Queen Anne style country house near East Malling, Kent. It set in 20 acres (81,000 m2) of parkland. Location The house is between the A20 road and M20 motorway and East Malling railway station. History The house was originally built during the Tudor period, and retains some of the original features in the kitchen. The north front is constructed from red brick with orange dressings. It was extended and altered between 1713 and 1715 by Sir Thomas Twysden; much of the panelling in the house dates from this era. Additional improvements were made in 1748, including a new attic wing. It was internally refurbished in 1774, and fitted with a new three-bay bow along the house's south front. The house was owned by the Twisden family until 1937 when the last baronet, Sir John Ramskill Twisden, died. In 1938, the estate was purchased by the East Malling Trust for Horticultural Research, together with around 200 acres (0.81 km2) of adjoining land. The Trust's income supports horticultural research at the nearby East Malling Research Station. It was Grade I listed in 1952. The house is occasionally open to the public and offers guided tours, as is the collection of trained trees alongside the walled garden. It has become a popular venue for weddings. In 2018, nearby residents complained over plans to turn a former research site owned by East Malling Trust near the house into 400 new homes. The trust explained that the money gained from selling the land to developers would be re-invested in Bradbourne House and gardens. References External links Official site

Bradfield Woods

Bradfield Woods is an 81.4-hectare (201-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest between Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket in Suffolk. The site is in three separate blocks, the adjoining Felsham Hall and Monks' Park Woods, and the much smaller separate Hedge Wood and Chen sil Grove. Felsham Hall and Monks' Park Woods are designated a 63.3 National Nature Reserve, also called Bradfield Woods, and are managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust. History These woods have a history of coppicing with the earliest record dating from 1252. The Southern part of Monks' Park Woods was cleared for farming during the 1960's apart from a small area preserved thanks to a tree preservation order following action from the local residents. The site was subsequently designed as Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1971. In 1970, the Society for the Promotion of Nature Reserves (SPNR, now called the Wildlife Trust) bought 51 ha of the woods with a second purchase of 12 ha in 1979. Sussex Wildlife Trust leased the land in 1983 and the freehold was transferred in 1999. An additional 7ha was purchased in 2010 but the Trust 's bid to secure the land cleared in the 1960's did not succeed this same year. Geology Bradfield Woods is established on a plateau with soils from glacial chalky boulder clay overlain in some place by sand or loess. The soils have not been ploughed for 800 years and the acidity (pH measurements) of it stretches from 3.1 to 7.4. Wildlife The site presents a very high diversity of flora, with over 370 plant species recorded. Uncommon woodland flowers include oxlip, herb paris and ramson. There is also a rich variety of fungi, with two species not recorded elsewhere in Britain and a large numbers of Armillaria or honey fungus. Up to 24 different species of butterflies, such as the purple emperor and the silver-washed fritillary have been recorded. The pearl-bordered fritillary has disappeared from these woods. The large mason bee (Osmia xanthomelana), the beetle Byctiscus populi and the weevil Cionus nigritarsis can be found there. There is access from Felsham Road west of Gedding. References

Challenge of Corporal punishment ban in schools In 2002 the school was one of a group of Christian schools which challenged the ban on corporal punishment in UK schools, citing Proverbs Chapter 23:13–14: "Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die", but their case, R. (on the application of Williamson) v Secretary of State for Education and Employment, was rejected by the Law Lords in 2005. Charity Commission inquiry In 2014 the Charity Commission published an Inquiry into the school, as one of a number of "charities that were in default of their statutory obligations to meet reporting requirements by failing to file their annual documents for two or more years in the last five years", had been given a final warning and were still in default. The report stated that the school's trustees response had been "whilst they had failed to submit accounts on time the charity was still functioning as a successful organisation, the trustees were keen to put things right and would not allow the situation to happen again".

Ratusz w Bradford

Ratusz w Bradford (ang. Bradford Town Hall) – ratusz miejski w stylu gotyku weneckiego zlokalizowany w centrum angielskiego miasta Bradford (West Yorkshire), na Centenary Square. Zabytek klasy I. Historia i architektura Obiekt wzniesiono na trójkątnej działce po konkursie architektonicznym, według zwycięskiego projektu Henry’ego Francisa Lockwooda i Williama Mawsona, autorów m.in. pobliskiego St George’s Hall. Budowa trwała w latach 1869-1873. Obiekt został rozbudowany w latach 1905–1909 według planów Normana Shawa (wykonawcą był architekt miejski Edwards). Budynek miał konkurować z ratuszami w Leeds i Halifax. Elewacje wykonano z piaskowca. Mają one trzy kondygnacje i poddasze ze stromymi dwuspadowymi dachami. Reprezentują styl neogotycki, naśladując wczesny gotyk i gotyk dojrzały, do połowy XIII wieku. Całość bryły dominuje wysoka wieża o formach toskańskich, będąca dominantą całego miasta, widoczną z dużych odległości. Najdłuższa i najbardziej reprezentacyjna pierzeja zwrócona jest w kierunku Tyrell Street. Ozdobiona jest licznymi otworami okiennymi pod maswerkami z ostrołukami. Pierwotnie miała być znacznie bardziej zdobiona, m.in. rzeźbionymi główkami, z czego ostatecznie zrezygnowano. Najwyższe piętro traktowane jest jako jednolita arkada z ciągiem posągów królów i królowych w zadaszonych niszach. Okap zwieńczony jest kolumnadą pełniącą funkcję parapetu. Powyżej wznoszą się lukarny i sterczyny. W centralnym punkcie długiego frontu znajduje się wykusz umieszczony nad portalem. Tutaj umieszczono wysokiej jakości rzeźby w wieloosiowych ościeżach drzwi i ramie łuku. Brama wykonana jest z kutego żelaza o misternych zwojach. Szerokie schody prowadzą do holu. Podczas rozbudowy z lat 1905–1909 rada miejska nie wyraziła zgody na dodanie kondygnacji poddasza do pierwotnego budynku. Elewacje dodane przez Shawa łączą różne style (gotyk, romanizm i styl królowej Anny z rokokowymi okuciami) oraz elementy zaczerpnięte z poprzednich prac w jego karierze, a jednocześnie nawiązują z szacunkiem do twórczości Lockwooda i Mawsona. Attyki wywodzą się z gotyku francuskiego. Masywny narożnik południowo-zachodni ma wysokie, wielodzielne okno holu oświetlające jadalnię oraz wieżyczkę zwieńczoną iglicą. Sale recepcyjne i jadalnia z wysokim łukowym dachem i rzeźbionym kominem są najprawdopodobniej dziełem Normana Shawa. Sala Rady jest oświetlona od góry i zbudowana na planie krzyża greckiego z galeriami na marmurowych kolumnach. Główny hol wejściowy i klatkę schodową z marmuru ukończył William Williamson w latach 1913-1914. W ratuszu kręcono sceny m.in. do następujących produkcji filmowych, czy serialowych: Skarb narodów, Peaky Blinders i Testament młodości, Coronation Street, Emmerdale i The ABC Murders. Przypisy

Shree Lakshmi Narayan Hindu Temple, Bradford

The Shree Lakshmi Narayan Hindu Temple in Bradford, West Yorkshire is the largest Hindu temple (mandir) in Northern England. The temple was designed by local Yorkshire architects and built by a local construction company. The temple is faced with Yorkshire stone, and the design modern, reflecting the position of Hindus as part of contemporary Yorkshire society. The temple is unusual in housing most of the major deities revered by the Hindu community, in addition to Lakshmi Narayan, the main deities. This reflects the needs of the Hindu population in the United Kingdom, where temples have to serve all types of Hindus rather than just followers of a specific deity. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip visited the temple on 24 May 2007, for its official Opening Ceremony. References External links The Bradford Mandir

Brading Marshes RSPB reserve

Brading Marshes nature reserve is the only Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) reserve on the Isle of Wight, England. Situated on the east coast of the Island, behind Bembridge Harbour, it was acquired in 2001 and is a mix of lagoons and ditches, reed beds and meadows, with a fringe of ancient woodland. This marsh is the site of a wetland restoration project by the RSPB. The land was reclaimed from the sea for agricultural use at the end of the 19th century. Today, grazing, haymaking and cutting rough vegetation encourage flowers and wetland birds. In spring and summer, lapwing, grey heron, tufted duck and shelduck can be seen. Marsh harrier and peregrines can also be seen. During autumn and winter migrating wading birds pass through, joining ducks, geese and wading birds feeding in the pools. The reserve is also home to many insects, plants and other animals. The reserve is open all year round and free to visit. Brading Marshes is included within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) called Brading Marshes to St. Helen's Ledges. The RSPB is thus one of the owners of land within the area designated as Brading Marshes to St. Helen's Ledges SSSI. References
Bradley (house)

Bradley is a medieval manor house in Newton Abbot, Devon, England. It is set amongst woodland and meadows in the valley of the River Lemon about a half mile to the west of the main town. The house is now in the ownership of the National Trust. The house Bradley is one of the smaller manor houses of the early fifteenth century, and has the advantage of having a contemporary chapel detached from the main house. The architect may have been influenced by Dartington Hall, some six miles to the south. Interesting features include the missing gatehouse, the interior of the chapel, the fenestration of the east front and the wall paintings. The house is one of the most complete medieval manor houses in Devon. Much of it is the creation of Richard and Joan Yarde who owned it from 1402. Richard Yarde was Sheriff of Devon in 1442. On the walls of an upstairs room is preserved a late medieval pattern of stencilled black fleur-de-lys. The great hall is emblazoned with the royal arms of Elizabeth I, and there are a number of other rare features. There was a gatehouse until the mid nineteenth century when it was demolished. The woods surrounding the house have been designated as a SSSI, being a fine example of natural limestone woodland. The chapel was consecrated in 1428 and is just 21 ft (6.4 m). It is a simple building with a stone altar, a fine east window, a tiny gallery and the original wagon-shaped braced-collar roof. It was desecrated in the Protestant Reformation and later used in different periods as a poultry house, a billiard room, a dining room and a barn. The roof was restored in 1993. The house contains a collection of Pre-Raphaelite art and Arts and Crafts furniture. Flowing past the house is the Bradley Leat which used to provide water for the manorial mills which were located where the cattle market in Newton Abbot now stands. Bradley was given to the National Trust in 1938 by Diana Woolner, daughter of the Egyptologists Cecil Mallaby Firth and Freda Hansard. Her family still live in the house and manage it on the Trust's behalf. See also Puritan's Pit, nearby on the opposite bank of the River Lemon, was used for nonconformist services in the 17th century. The Great Western Railway built a series of 4-6-0 steam locomotives known as the Manor class, named after various manor houses. Locomotive 7802 was named after Bradley Manor and is preserved on the Severn Valley Railway. References Bridget Cherry & Nikolaus Pevsner (1989). The Buildings of England — Devon.
