The ground was provided by the Borough of Penzance for the Penzance and Newlyn RFC formed on Tuesday, 12 December 1944 with the amalgamation of Penzance RFC and Newlyn RFC. The current tenants are the Cornish Pirates rugby union team, who play in the RFU Championship.

In 2010 the club returned to the Mennaye Field and announced that the capacity would increase from its original 3,500 to 4,000, including 2,200 seats. History The first mention of playing rugby in the Mennaye Fields was in January 1934 when a sub-committee was set up to negotiate with the Borough of Penzance for the tenancy of the fields; finally granted in 1945. The ground was equi-distant between St Goulder (Newlyn's ground) and St Clare (Penzance's ground). General Dwight D Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe inspected American troops on 26 June 1944 at the Mennaye. Soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 35th Division had been billeted with families in Penzance. The troops marched along the promenade to the Mennaye where Eisenhower, along with General George S Patton, took a salute on the bank.

Stubbington

Stubbington is a village which is located between Southampton and Portsmouth, in the county of Hampshire on the south coast of England. It is within the borough of Fareham. History Both Stubbington and neighbouring Crofton were mentioned in the Domesday Book (the 11th-century UK census) as small districts belonging to the estates of Titchfield Abbey. The earliest known cricket match to have been played in Hampshire took place in the village in 1733. During the 19th century, Stubbington engulfed Crofton and the small fishing village of Hill Head. The Crofton name still remains in the name of many local facilities, such as the Crofton School and Crofton Old Church. At the start of the 20th century, the village still consisted of just a few dozen cottages and farms. By 1939, the population had risen to around 2,500, and a number of small shops had opened surrounding the village green. This remains the focus of the village to the present day, with a war memorial situated on the central village green. Places of worship A church at Crofton Old Church is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and some elements of the existing church are thought to date from the ninth or tenth century. It was previously Holy Rood, but was renamed St. Edmund's in 1878, and is also known as Crofton Old Church. Most of the current building is fourteenth century or later. A new church (Holy Rood) was built in Stubbington in 1878, and took over the function of Crofton Church. The War Memorial and Village Pump In 1922 a wooden War Memorial was built to commemorate those from Stubbington and Hill Head who were killed in the First World War. The Memorial takes the form of a shelter over the village pump, and today it is one of few pre-war structures standing in the vicinity of Stubbington Village Centre. Present day The population of Stubbington has risen to over 25,000, with new housing estates taking over a number of the surrounding fields. The town has a number of modern shops as well as a range of other facilities, including a doctor, dentist, library, community centre and seven schools. The former Royal Navy site of HMS Daedalus lies between Stubbington and neighbouring Lee-on-the-Solent, and a small part is currently being developed, however more is scheduled for further development that could further expand the town. Neighbouring areas The nearest village is Titchfield. Also near Stubbington is the area of Fareham called Hill Head and the town of Lee-on-the-Solent.

Merchant Adventurers' Hall

The Merchant Adventurers' Hall is a medieval guildhall in the city of York, England. It is a Grade I listed building and scheduled ancient monument. History The majority of the Hall was built in 1357 by a group of influential men and women who came together to form a religious fraternity called the Guild of Our Lord Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1371, a hospital was established in the undercroft for the poor people of York and, in 1430, the fraternity was granted a royal charter by King Henry VI and renamed 'The Mistry of Mercers'. It was granted the status of the Company of Merchant Adventurers of the City of York by Queen Elizabeth I in 1581. The principal parts of the building are the Great Hall, the chapel and the undercroft. The Great Hall is a timber-framed structure and was built over a five-year period. It is the largest timber-framed building in the UK still standing and used for its original purpose. The roof of the hall is of two spans supported by a row of large central timber posts. It includes complex crown posts and is held together by wooden pegs. The undercroft, like the Great Hall, is divided in two by its supporting row of timber posts. The undercroft also provides access to an attached chapel built for the use of the ill and poor in the hospital as well as the members of the Merchant Adventurers' Guild. It is still used for worship. The Hall belongs to and is still regularly used by The Company of Merchant Adventurers of the City of York, who, although no longer dedicated to mercantile activities are prominent in York and still exist as a charitable membership group. The company has an extensive set of records, with documents dating from the 13th century and accounts dating back to 1432. The Borthwick Institute for Archives at the University of York holds photocopies of many of the medieval deeds, account rolls, rentals, and of Guild minutes for the period 1677–1985. From 1918, the Company appointed Maud Sellers as an honorary archivist of its historical material - Sellers was a historian with an interest in the site and was involved in its restoration and study from 1895. Works of art in the hall include a painting by Jan Griffier entitled "Dutch snow scene with skaters", a painting by Joseph Farington depicting the Old Ouse Bridge at York and a portrait by William Etty of his brother, John Etty. It is a short walk from this hall to the Merchant Taylors' Hall in York, another medieval guildhall but in less original condition.

Merchant Venturers Almshouses

Merchant Venturers Almshouses (grid reference ST587727) is a historic building on King Street in Bristol, England. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building. History It was built around 1696 by the Society of Merchant Venturers for convalescent and old sailors to see out their days, often after fever or blindness during service on the ships of the Bristol slave trade. It is now private accommodation, apartments 1 to 10. They are built of Pennant stone in an early Georgian style. The pantile hipped roof has lateral and ridge stacks. There is an oculus over the central doorway, however most of the windows are 20th-century replacements. It has scroll-bracketed door canopies at irregular angles. The almshouses were originally built around a quadrangle however bombing and road realignment mean that it is now left with only three sides. It used to be accompanied by the Merchants Hall but this was destroyed in the Bristol Blitz of World War II. In 2014 a long lease for the almshouses was signed for £620,000. The plaque on the wall is a poem: "Freed from all storms the tempest and the rage Of billows, here we spend our age. Our weather beaten vessels here repair And from the Merchants' kind and generous care Find harbour here; no more we put to sea Until we launch into Eternity. And lest our Widows whom we leave behind Should want relief, they too a shelter find. Thus all our anxious cares and sorrows cease Whilst our kind Guardians turn our toils to ease. May they be with an endless Sabbath blest Who have afforded unto us this rest." Archives Records of Merchant Venturers' Almshouse are held at Bristol Archives (Ref. SMV/4/1) (online catalogue).

Mere Old Hall

Mere Old Hall is a 17th-century country house which stands to the west of the village of Mere and the junction of the A566 and A50 roads in Cheshire, England. The house was constructed in brick and stone that has been whitewashed and rendered, roofed with tiles and slates, and is in two and three storeys. Its architectural style is Regency. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. Also separately listed at Grade II are the kitchen garden walls and attached sheds. History An earlier house on the site was rebuilt in the 17th century by Sir Peter Brooke MP, a member of the Brooke family of Norton Priory, who had bought the house in 1652 from the Mere family. It was extended in stages, and by the early 18th century had become a large brick house with eleven bays by nine bays. Later a bow window with a dome was built as an entrance, and later still pavilions were added. During the 19th century the house was reduced in size to an L-shaped building. Sir Peter's grandson, Peter Langford-Brooke, built Mere New Hall in 1834 and let the Old Hall. Among the tenants were merchants and manufacturers from Manchester, including the calico printer William Graham Crum, whose son John Macleod Campbell Crum was born there in 1872. In 1914 William Princep Langford-Brooke decided to move back to the Old Hall after renovating the interior in the Adam style. The last male heir, Colonel Ronald Langford-Brooke, died in 1980. Following the death of his widow in 1993, the Old Hall and its contents were sold in May 1994.
