Danbury Place

Danbury Place was an English country house, first built by Sir Walter Mildmay in the time of Elizabeth I, dated to 1589. It is situated on one of the highest points of the county of Essex. The house was demolished and rebuilt on an adjoining site around 1830, completed as a red brick mansion in 1832. It then became an episcopal palace, as Danbury Palace, in 1845, a use that continued until 1890. History Danbury Place was in the Mildmay family until 1673, when John Mildmay died childless. His wife Mary then married Robert Cory, Archdeacon of Middlesex. She died in 1724; of the Cory children, only Elizabeth, who married William Fytche, survived to inherit, and Danbury Place passed to the Fytche family. In the next generation, Danbury Place passed in 1750 to William's younger son Thomas Fytche (1706–1777). He had work done on the house by Isaac Ware, who installed a chimney piece. He died without issue, and the house passed to his niece and adopted daughter Elizabeth, daughter of William Fytche who briefly was Governor of Bengal. In 1775 she had married Lewis Disney, who added Fytche to his name. William Huntington mentioned that he once worked there for "Squire Fitch". Lewis Disney Fytche had five daughters with his wife, who died in 1787. The eldest (Frances) Elizabeth married Sir William Hillary in 1800, who bought out his father-in-law's interest in the house in 1801, and resided there with his young family. He separated from Elizabeth in 1808, going to the Isle of Man to live while she stayed at Danbury Place, until 1823 when her father died. At the time of her own death in 1828 it was let out; Hillary then sold Danbury Place to John Round. Round resided at Danbury Place, having replaced the old house with a new one designed by Thomas Hopper (1832), in a Tudor Gothic (neo-Elizabethan) style. After 12 years it became an episcopal palace for the Bishop of Rochester, with a change of name to Danbury Palace. Danbury Palace was put up for sale in 1892, with a park of 284 acres. It was sold to Seth Taylor, who sold it on to Hugh Hoare. The house was bought by Brigadier General John Tyson Wigan in 1919 . He sold the house and park in 1946.. Danbury Palace was used as an Emergency Matertinity Hospital from 1939 until 1946. After the War a large part of the park was bought by Essex County Council. The house and outer buildings went to Anglia Polytechnic University in 1974 to create Danbury Country Park. Danbury Place was registered as a Grade II Listed Building in 1987. After three decades of use as a conference centre, Danbury Palace was sold by Anglia Ruskin University to be converted (as of 2017) into thirteen flats. The Park Originally Danbury Place was set in a deer park. The park has now become Danbury Country Park. Notes External links Media related to Danbury Palace at Wikimedia Commons
Target House, London

Target House is a modern commercial building designed by British modernist architect Rodney Gordon (1933–2008) of Tripos Architects. It is located at 66 St James's Street, London, at the junction with St James's Place. Design and construction The building was designed in 1979 and completed in 1984. It replaced Map House, designed by R.J. Worley. The anodised bronze and aluminum cladding of the building made it a departure from the "brutalist" concrete designs more usually produced by Gordon. Reception Charles McKean, the architecture correspondent for The Times, praised Target House, then known just as 66 St James's Street, for its boldness and panache but doubted the medieval credentials of the building claimed by the designers. He pointed out that the area had been developed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and was not known for its medieval architecture apart from the faux medievalism of the nineteenth century. McKean argued that the reference to the medieval was a red-herring and the building was in fact more notable for its modernity and affinity with the "space programme". He speculated that the chopped-off towers at roof-line, that made the spectator say "ouch" and were the least successful part of the design in his opinion, were really the result of planning regulations that restricted the height of new buildings in the area. Occupancy The design included retail premises, offices and flats and the building was used in that form for many years. The ground floor is still occupied by the Stern Pissarro Gallery, founded in 1964. In February 2013, a successful planning application was made to Westminster Council to allow a change of use of the first to fourth floors from B1 (offices) to C3 (residential) use. Ownership In 2012, the building was sold by Standard Life Investments to Albert Hay's Capital and City Group for £10.5 million. References External links Colliers: 66 St James's Street, London, SW1.
Vadne (ferry)

Vadne was a ferry built by Vosper & Company in 1939 for the Port of Portsmouth Steam Launch & Towing Company. In service until 1966, her remains are at Forton Lake, Gosport. History Vadne was built at Portsmouth in 1939 to serve the people of Gosport and Portsmouth, carrying passengers across Portsmouth Harbour, but within days of the outbreak of the Second World War she was requisitioned for the Royal Navy's examination service. In January 1943 she was shipped to Sierra Leone for harbour service. Returned to the ferry company in 1946, Vadne plied Portsmouth Harbour until 1965, when an attempt to increase her internal capacity by removing a bulkhead severely weakened her structural integrity and she was taken out of service. On the night of 12 July 1957, a collision between Vadne and the Black Swan-class sloop HMS Redpole resulted in the death of one of the 40 passengers. The ferry was holed, but salved and later repaired. This was the first collision and first fatal accident in the 74-year history of the Portsmouth Steam Launch and Towing Company. Between 1966 and 1981, Vadne served as the clubhouse of the Gosport Cruising Club, before sinking at her moorings near Weevil Lane, in Gosport. A restoration project took place from 1981, but Vadne sank once more in 1983, and at this point was taken to the Maritime Workshop, by Forton Lake. Although Vadne's stay at the Maritime Workshop was initially intended only to be short-term, she remained berthed there for seventeen years until, in 2000, the decision was taken to beach her several hundred metres along the shore at Forton Lake. Her remains have since been victim to vandalism and natural decay. in 2015 a Facebook group, The Vadne Funnel Recovery and Restoration Group, was formed, with a view to restoring the funnel, which had detached from the superstructure and lay in the mud adjacent to the hulk. Their aim was to restore the funnel and display it for the benefit of tourists and the local population; however, as with the earlier restoration project, nothing came of these efforts.

Domovní muzeum

Domovní muzeum (House museum) je typ muzea v nemovitosti, která sloužila jako něčí domov. Snaží se zachovat původní podobu, předměty a prostředí, ve kterém daná osoba nebo skupina lidí žila. Spojuje architekturu, muzeografii a sbírku a vytváří historické prostředí, které nabízí pohled na životní styl. V roce 1997 během konference „Živá historie. Muzea historických domů“ v Palazzo Spinola v Janově založili zástupci domácích muzeí z různých zemí v rámci Mezinárodní rady muzeí výbor, který by se věnoval zejména této kategorii institucí. Následující rok z iniciativy ICOM vznikl Demhist – Mezinárodní výbor pro muzea historických domů.

Casa museo

Una casa museo es un museo dedicado a la vida y obra de un personaje que se encuentra ubicado en la misma casa donde nació, murió o pasó un periodo de su vida. Definición Las casas museo tienen el interés de mostrar las obras y objetos utilizados por una persona en el entorno en el que se desenvolvió su existencia. Suelen contener parte del mobiliario y objetos decorativos que utilizó el personaje homenajeado, de modo que el visitante puede recrear con facilidad las costumbres de la época y sus condiciones de vida. Además, se exponen objetos personales como correspondencia, prendas de vestir, dibujos, biblioteca personal, etc. Por último, en las casas se suelen encontrar objetos reunidos por el personaje a lo largo de su vida como parte de sus colecciones privadas.​ Donación y compra La creación de una casa museo obedece a la donación del edificio por uno de sus descendientes o, más comúnmente, a su compra por parte de una institución pública para convertirla en espacio de exposición, recuerdo y homenaje. Se dan casos curiosos como la casa natal de Goya que fue comprada y donada por el pintor Ignacio Zuloaga.​ Remodelación A menudo, la casa requiere unas obras de remodelación para transformarla en museo que en ocasiones se convierte en completa reconstrucción para recrear el aspecto que tuvo en una época determinada. Así ocurrió con la casa de Bartolomé Murillo que había sido convertida en oficinas en el año 1988.​ Tipologías Existen casas museo dedicadas a diferentes ramas de artistas y personajes notables: Pintores, como la de Goya, Dalí, Murillo, Rembrandt, Rubens, Sorolla, El Greco, Frida Kahlo, Leonora Carrington. Escritores: Lope de Vega, Zenobia y Juan Ramón, Miguel Hernández, Antonio Machado, Vladimir Navokov. Historiadores: Raúl Porras Barrenechea. Médicos: Sigmund Freud, Carl Gustav Jung. Músicos: Carlos Gardel, Elvis Presley. Políticos: Che Guevara, Quinta de Bolívar, Arturo Illia. Descubridores, como la de Colón. Referencias
Casa museo

La casa museo è una tipologia museale che consiste di un'abitazione trasformata in museo, dove gli arredi, i cimeli e gli oggetti di uso personale e quotidiano fanno parte del percorso espositivo, oltre ad eventuali opere di altro genere (quadri, sculture, collezioni di oggetti d'arte eccetera). In generale, lo spazio quotidiano diventa rilevante, culturalmente e antropologicamente, nel momento in cui chi ha abitato quello spazio è stato un personaggio famoso, un personaggio pubblico o comunque considerato significativo ai fini culturali, per cui il suo quotidiano diventa degno di essere conservato e reso fruibile dal pubblico: quasi sempre le case museo sono le ex-abitazioni di artisti o personalità dell'arte, della politica o della scienza o di qualunque ambito rilevante per una cultura, a volte custodiscono la storia di intere generazioni di una famiglia nobile o importante per la vita pubblica. Storia Le case museo nacquero intorno alla metà del XIX secolo in un'epoca in cui l'alta borghesia subiva il fascino del collezionismo; tra le collezioni più appetibili all'epoca vi furono quelle in stile Secondo Impero, le case museo erano volute e allestite dagli stessi proprietari-collezionisti, come esternazioni del proprio gusto ed esibizione di cimeli e collezioni più che vere e proprie abitazioni. In Europa, in particolare in Francia, le prime case museo vennero inaugurate prima della prima guerra mondiale. Con l'avvento della guerra molte di esse andarono distrutte. Non così dall'altra parte dell'oceano dove, con qualche decennio di ritardo rispetto all'Europa, dapprima fu l'alta borghesia della East Coast statunitense ad interessarsi e ad allestire case museo, ma ben presto il fenomeno dilagò in tutti gli Stati Uniti dove tuttora sono presenti numerose case museo dell'epoca. In Europa, le case museo che sopravvissero a stento alle devastazioni di due guerre mondiali vennero talvolta trasformate o integrate con nuove collezioni, perdendo quell'atmosfera originaria dovuta alla stratificazione delle epoche e delle collezioni. Oggi il termine ha un significato più ampio e per casa museo si intende anche l'abitazione che fu di un personaggio famoso non progettata come casa museo ma recuperata come tale da un'istituzione pubblica per tenere traccia di un'epoca e della quotidianità del personaggio che l'ha vissuta.

Museu-casa

Museu-casa (ou casa-museu) é um tipo de museu que, abrigado num imóvel que serviu como casa de alguém, busca preservar a forma original, os objetos e o ambiente em que viveu aquela pessoa ou grupo de pessoas. Assim, conjuga a arquitetura, a museografia e a coleção para criar um cenário histórico, oferecendo uma perspectiva de um estilo de vida. Em 1997, durante a conferência "Living History. Historic House Museums", no Palazzo Spinola, em Gênova, representantes de museus-casas de diversos países iniciaram um movimento para criar, no âmbito do International Council of Museums, um comitê especialmente dedicado a esta categoria de instituição. No ano seguinte, o ICOM criou o Demhist (Comitê Internacional para Museus-Casas Históricas). Exemplos No Brasil Casa de Rui Barbosa Casa das Rosas Museu Casa de Portinari Museu Homero Massena Museu Histórico e Pedagógico Conselheiro Rodrigues Alves Casa Guilherme de Almeida Museu Lasar Segall Museu Casa de Cora Coralina Museu Casa da Hera Memorial Casa do Rio Vermelho - Jorge Amado e Zélia Gattai(Salvador - Bahia) Fundação Ema Klabin Fundação Eva Klabin Casa Mário de Andrade Palacete Bolonha Em Portugal Casa-Museu Doutor Anastácio Gonçalves (Lisboa) Casa-Museu Guerra Junqueiro (Porto) Fundação Eça de Queiroz (Baião) Casa Junqueiro Velho (Freixo de Espada à Cinta) Casa-Museu Abel Salazar (Mamede Infesta) Casa Museu José Régio (Portalegre) Casa-Museu Quinta da Esperança (Cuba - Baixo Alentejo) Casa de Santa Maria (Cascais) Nos Estados Unidos Mansão Morris–Jumel Referências Ligações externas Anais do I Encontro Luso-Brasileiro de Museus Casas DEMHIST - International Committee For Historic House Museums
Будинок-музей

Будинок-музей — це тип музею, розташований у будівлі, яка служила раніше домівкою. Метою є збереження первісного вигляду, предметів та середовища, в якому жила людина або група людей. Поєднує архітектуру, музеєграфію та колекцію, щоб створити історичне середовище, яке пропонує зазирнути у спосіб життя. У 1997 році під час конференції «Жива історія. Музеї історичних будинків» у Палаццо Спінола в Генуї представники будинків-музеїв з різних країн створили комітет у рамках Міжнародної ради музеїв, який займався саме цією категорією установ. Наступного року за ініціативою ICOM створено Демхіст — Міжнародний комітет музеїв історичних будинків. Примітки

Ariel Hotel

The Ariel Hotel is a circular hotel very close to London Heathrow Airport. The hotel was built for J. Lyons and Co. in 1960, and designed by Russell Diplock & Associates. It was "Britain’s first significant airport hotel", and the first hotel to be built at 'London Airport' (as it was known up to 1966), its completion being timed to coincide with the opening of the Oceanic Terminal (now Terminal 3). It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 16 December 1960. According to a promotional fold-out brochure published by the hotel in March 1962, the hotel's name referenced the 1842 Aerial Steam Carriage monoplane design of William Samuel Henson and John Stringfellow. The brochure explained “In a sense the ‘Ariel’ is an ancestor of the great airliners… [and today] the name ‘Ariel’ is once more important in the world of flying. The Ariel Hotel, the first circular hotel in Europe, stands beside London Airport”. The hotel was built with 185 rooms, and its doughnut design allows it to offer dedicated single-bed rooms around the inside ring, an unusual feature among Heathrow hotels. It was acquired in 1978 by the Forte Group as a Posthouse, and in 2001 it was bought by Bass/Six Continents which became the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) which put it in their Holiday Inn brand. After a couple of ownership changes, in 2015 the hotel was managed by the Redefine BDL Hotels (RBH) group who continued to run it as a Holiday Inn franchise. As of 2023 the hotel operates under the Best Western brand to which it transferred around 2021. It is advertised as having 184 rooms. On 15 February 2020, the hotel became a temporary quarantine centre during the COVID-19 pandemic and was closed to the general public for around a month. As of June 2024, the website appears to be accepting bookings as normal. References External links Official site
Beech Hill Park

Beech Hill Park is a Grade II listed building off Beech Hill in Hadley Wood, North London, that is used today as the club house of Hadley Wood Golf Course. It was built in 1781 for Francis Russell, secretary and surveyor to the Duchy of Lancaster, on land he received when Enfield Chase was broken up. It was later in the ownership of Charles Jack, a property developer who was primarily responsible for the development of Hadley Wood. History The house was built in 1781 for Francis Russell (1740–1795), surveyor to the Duchy of Lancaster when Enfield Chase was broken up, as part of the 152 acres that Russell received at that time. It was originally known as Russell Mansion. The house and estate were acquired by William Franks in 1790. It was occupied by female members of his family after his death in 1797 before being purchased by Archibald Paris in 1800 who took up residence in 1805 and stayed until he moved into a rebuilt West Lodge in 1834. From 1835 the house was leased to Sir Edward Barnes and occupied after his death in 1838 by his widow and then by his brother George. In 1854, Charles Jack (1810–1896), who was primarily responsible for the development of Hadley Wood, acquired the freehold of the property. The single-storey pavilions in white on either side of the house are mid-nineteenth century additions. During the First World War, the house was used as billets for soldiers of the Royal Fusiliers. Around 1921, the house and estate were purchased from the estate of Charles Jack by a consortium of Hadley Wood residents led by Walter Warwick and his brother-in-law Sir Frederick Lewis (later Lord Essendon). The main house was converted into a club house according to plans by the architect Cyril Wontner-Smith who also bought one of the buildings in the grounds which he converted into a home for himself. The golf club opened in 1922 with a course designed by Alister MacKenzie. The house is grade II listed with Historic England. The stable range nearby is also listed.

Christ Church Barnet

Christ Church Barnet, is a Church of England church in St Albans Road, Chipping Barnet. History The church was designed by George Gilbert Scott and built between 1845 and 1852. It has been grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England since November 1982. William Pennefather (1816-1873), the popular evangelist and author of several well-known hymns, was vicar here from 1852 to 1864, just after the village had been linked to central London by train. During those years the vicarage at Christ Church Barnet was a recognised centre of the Evangelical movement. Parish The parish of Christ Church Barnet was founded in 1845 to serve the rapidly expanding population of High Barnet as a daughter church to St Giles Church, South Mimms, in the neighbouring Diocese of St Albans. It is one of the most northerly parishes on the edge of the London Diocese following boundary changes in 1965 when the church was transferred to the Edmonton area. Christ Church is not typical of a London parish since it is surrounded on two sides by parishes in the Diocese of St Albans. While on the one hand it is part of a typical commuter town, having access to links into and around London (being on the end of the Northern Line and close to a number of arterial roads – M25, A1M, M1), the major part of the land use is rural, made up of fields and green space (with three working farms and three golf courses). The populated part of the parish is in the High Barnet Ward and has a population of 4,750, made up of more than 3,000 residences, most of which are owner occupied. The parish is served by the Spires shopping centre, a public library, a market and three schools: Christ Church School Foulds Primary School Queen Elizabeth's School - a state funded boys grammar school Graves The church's cemetery is on the opposite (western) side of St Albans Road, a short distance to the north, and contains a number of war graves. A memorial to former pupils of Barnet Boys School who died in the Second Boer War stands near the church. There is also a wall monument to deaths in the First World War, inside the church.

Christ Church, Teddington

Christ Church Teddington, founded in 1864, is an independent Reformed Protestant Congregational church on Christchurch Avenue in Teddington, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is associated with the Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches. Its minister is Rev. Dominic Stockford (who is also Chairman of the Protestant Truth Society). In 2015 the Victorian church building, dating from 1869, was sold to be converted into six two-bedroom flats, retaining the original stained glass windows. The 1970s community hall next to the old church was refurbished and extended for use in services. References External links Official website
Dysart Arms

The Dysart Arms is a former public house in Petersham, London. It is now a restaurant, The Dysart. Current building The current building is in the Arts and Crafts style, and dates from 1904. The oak bar is not original to the pub, but had been bought in the 1850s from a decommissioned Napoleonic era warship. Etymology The name refers to the arms of the Earls of Dysart, who held Ham House and the surrounding manors of Ham and Petersham for over three centuries, from their acquisition through close association with Charles I in the mid-17th century until the estate, including the Dysart Arms, was disposed of after World War II. History The original building on the site was formerly a farmhouse dating from the second half of the 17th century. Previously known as the Plough and Harrow, unsubstantiated claims say that the name change was paid for by the Countess of Dysart in the 1830s. The building was demolished in 1902. In 1836, Charles Dickens, a regular visitor to Petersham along with his friend John Forster, stayed there, probably at the Dysart Arms. It is mentioned in the 1894 edition of Baedeker's London and Its Environs: Handbook for Travellers. References External links "'The Dysart Arms', Petersham". Capital Collections (photograph).
