Old Town Hall, Whitby

The Old Town Hall, Whitby is a building on the Kirkgate section of Church Street, in the Old Town area of Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. History The building was commissioned and paid for by the local lord of the manor, Nathaniel Cholmley, and was designed and built, in the neoclassical style, by the architect Jonathan Pickernell, who also constructed the two inner piers in Whitby Harbour between 1781 and 1812. It is located in the Old Town area of Whitby on the east side. The town hall was built when the market place was laid out to replace the earlier market place that was located on the west side of the River Esk at the west end of the bridge. The town hall measures 11 yards (10 m) in length and 9 yards (8.2 m) in width and was furnished with a clock at the expense of the town (the building being paid for privately). The clock tower also holds a bell which was tolled to start any court process. The Old Town Hall served as the location for the first meeting of the Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society in September 1823. The society was started to provide funding and space to display fossils found in the environs of Whitby town. The present day location of this museum is in Pannett Park in the town. The building has an open ground floor with the upper floor supported by Tuscan columns. This allowed the undercroft to be used for market trading. The upper floor, accessed by a spiral staircase in the centre of the lower floor, is where the Court Leet of Whitby, the Court of Pleas and the Court of Piepowder used to meet. Sometimes guilty parties would have to occupy the stocks outside the building. The arches on the upper floor are pedimented with Venetian windows. The building was given listed status in 1954 and was renovated in 1987 but is prone to decay with some stone falling off the top of one of the columns.

Anglikańskie sanktuarium maryjne w Willesden

Anglikańskie Sanktuarium Matki Bożej z Willesden (ang.: The Shrine of Our Lady of Willesden (Chuch of England)) – jedno z dwóch sanktuariów maryjnych Kościoła Anglii w Wielkiej Brytanii. Historia W VI w. jeden z pierwszych biskupów Londynu Erkenwald założył klasztor, na terenie którego wznosi się dzisiejsze sanktuarium. Kościół parafialny Maryi Panny w Willesden został zbudowany w 938 r. Od najdawniejszych czasów czczono w tym kościele figurę Czarnej Dziewicy z Willesden, której przypisano moc czynienia cudów. Od XIII w. otaczano tu kultem dwie figury maryjne. Od XV w. sanktuarium maryjne w Willesden stało się bardzo popularnym celem pielgrzymek, być może w wyniku uznawanych przez wiernych za cudowne uzdrowień podczas epidemii dżumy. Za cudowną była także uznawana pobliska studnia ze źródlaną wodą. Reformacja w 1538 r. spowodowała ograbienie sanktuarium ze wszystkich cennych przedmiotów, ale nie zniszczono figur Maryi i kościół był nadal celem pielgrzymek. Stopniowo miejscowy kult maryjny ustawał, ale pozbawiona ozdób, niepozorna figura Czarnej Dziewicy przetrwała w kościele nienaruszona. Pamięć o jej dawnym znaczeniu przywrócił dopiero w 1902 r. miejscowy pastor, a w 1972 r. w kościele umieszczono nową, pozłacaną figurę Maryi, poświęconą w tym samym roku podczas corocznej pielgrzymki przez biskupa Willesden.

Camden Place

Camden Place is a country house in Chislehurst in Bromley, London, England. The house, which is now used as the club house of Chislehurst Golf Club, is a Grade II* listed building. History An earlier house on the site was occupied by the antiquary William Camden, who lived there from c. 1609 until his death in 1623. The present house was commissioned by a merchant, Robert Weston, in the early 18th century. It was designed in the neoclassical style, built in buff brick and completed in 1717. It was expanded in the late 18th and very early 19th centuries to a design by the architect, George Dance the Younger. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of seven bays facing southwest. The central bay was canted forward and there was a curved projection on the left of the main frontage. It was fenestrated on both floors with casement windows and, at roof level, there was a balustraded parapet with finials. The house was acquired by the Attorney General for England and Wales, Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden, in 1760, by the merchant, Thomson Bonar in 1805 and by the financier, Henry Rowles, in the 1830s. The young Louis-Napoleon of France had a romantic relationship with Rowles' daughter, Emily, in the 1830s. The house was acquired by a lawyer, Nathaniel William John Strode, in the mid-19th century and parts of it were then leased out. Strode fitted out the dining room with fine panelling recovered from the Château de Bercy when it was demolished in 1861. Louis-Napoleon became emperor Napoleon III of France in 1852, but after defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, he was exiled to the UK, rented rooms at Camden Place, and lived there with the former empress, Eugénie, and their son, the Prince Imperial. Queen Victoria visited them there and was received in their dining room. Following the former emperor's death in 1873, there was an official lying-in-state at Camden Place. His body and that of his son, the Prince Imperial, were originally buried in St Mary's Catholic Church in Chislehurst, before being removed to St Michael's Abbey, Farnborough. Eugénie continued to live at Camden Place until she moved to Farnborough Hill in Farnborough, Hampshire, in 1881. The house then became the club house of Chislehurst Golf Club in 1894.

Moot Hall, Brampton

The Moot Hall is a municipal building in The Market Place in Brampton, Cumbria, England. The building, which is used as a local tourist information office and as a meeting place for Brampton Parish Council, is a Grade II* listed building. History The first moot hall in the Market Place in Brampton dated back at least to the mid-17th century. The Parliamentary forces of Oliver Cromwell, led by Major-General John Lambert, held 48 prisoners in the building in 1648 during the Second English Civil War. Then, in November 1745, the area in front of the moot hall hosted the Army of the Young Pretender, Charles Edward Stuart, as he laid siege to Carlisle Castle during the Jacobite rising. The present building was commissioned by the lord of the manor, Frederick Howard, 5th Earl of Carlisle, whose seat was at Naworth Castle. It was designed in the Vernacular style, built in rubble masonry with a stucco finish and was completed in 1817. The design involved an octagonal structure facing west onto the Market Place. The first floor was faced with a stucco finish and there were quoins at the corners. There was a segmental-shaped opening with voussoirs on the ground floor flanked, on both sides, by a stone staircase with wrought iron railings which gave access to the first floor. On the first floor there was an arched doorway with an architrave at the front, and arched windows with architraves on the other sides. At roof level there was a clock tower with a belfry surmounted by an ogee-shaped roof, a ball finial and a weather vane. Internally, the principal rooms were the market hall on the ground floor and an assembly hall on the first floor. The ground floor was originally open and was used to sell poultry and dairy products. A ring to tether bulls for the purpose of bull-baiting was installed in the cobbles in front of the building, although this practice was outlawed by the Cruelty to Animals Act 1835. George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle presented the building to Brampton Parish Council on 25 January 1896; work was initiated at that time to enclose the ground floor, and a plaque to commemorate the work of the local poet, Peter Burn, was installed on the staircase after he died in 1902. The ground floor room subsequently became the home of the local tourist information office, while the assembly room on the first floor became the meeting place of Brampton Parish Council, and farmers' markets continued to be held on the last Saturday of every month in front of the moot hall.

Presbyterian Chapel, Ainsworth

The Presbyterian Chapel, Ainsworth is a Grade II* listed building on Knowsley Road in Ainsworth, a village within the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Greater Manchester, England. Originally built in 1715, the chapel has served as a place of worship for over three centuries. History The chapel was established by a congregation that emerged from the Great Ejection of 1662, when nonconforming ministers were expelled from the Church of England. One such minister, John Lever, initially preached at Cockey Chapel before the congregation built the current chapel in 1715. It was enlarged in 1773 and altered in 1845, when the entrance was moved from the south side to the east wall. The chapel transitioned from Presbyterianism to Unitarianism in the early 19th century. A memorial plaque inside commemorates Joseph Bealey, who openly declared his Unitarian beliefs in April 1813, shortly before the passage of the Doctrine of the Trinity Act later that year. On 29 July 1966, the Presbyterian Chapel was designated a Grade II* listed building. Architecture The building has a domestic appearance, constructed in a rectangular plan with two tiers of three-light chamfered mullioned windows. The pediment above the doorway bears the inscription: "Erected AD 1715. Enlarged 1773. Altered and repaired 1845". Interior Internally, the chapel is arranged in a long-wall fashion, with the pulpit on the north wall. A gallery supported by turned wooden columns runs along three sides of the interior, with one column replaced or supplemented by a cast-iron support. The chapel retains box pews, typical of 18th-century nonconformist places of worship. Burial ground and surroundings The chapel is situated in the north-west corner of an extensive burial ground, which contains gravestones dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Nearby is Hook's Cottage, built in 1773, and the former Reform Club, which provided accommodation for worshippers travelling from afar.
