Newport Guildhall

Newport Guildhall is a large timber-framed municipal building in Newport, Shropshire, England. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The current building replaced an earlier guildhall on the site which is mentioned in a document dated 1252. The southern part of the current building was constructed as a single room, with gable to the road, possibly as a meeting place for the Guild of Newport, in around 1400. The building was built in a typical medieval style with exposed timbers and brick infilling which has been painted white. An intermediate floor was added to the original hall at a later date. Testing of the beams in the roof using dendrochronology suggests that the current roof was added in 1486. The northern part of the building was constructed in a similar architectural style in the late 16th century. The internal beams on the ground floor in this part of the building were decorated with chevrons, antlers, acanthus leaves and pomegranates with the last of these being associated with Catherine of Aragon. The two buildings were unified externally as a single building with a continuous roof-line in the early 19th century. A beam visible on the front elevation of the building, with the name "Wm Gregari" and dated 1615, was not a feature of the original building and was probably taken from a local public house and inserted to add an additional air of authenticity in the late 19th century. On 13 June 1991, the building was acquired by the Boughey Trust, a trust corporation established by Lady Boughey in memory of her late husband, Sir Thomas Fletcher Fenton Boughey, 4th Baronet who died on 30 August 1906. The Boughey Trust made the guildhall available, rent-free, to Newport Town Council who restored it with the support of English Heritage and it was officially re-opened to the public by Algernon Heber-Percy, Vice-Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire, on 25 March 1995. In spring 2019 improvement works were carried out involving a new boiler and new carpets, paintwork and lighting. The ground floor of the southern section of the building is used as a council information centre while the ground floor of the northern section is used as a tea room. Meetings of the Town Council are normally held in the council chamber on the first floor of the building. The council chamber is also used for weddings and civic ceremonies.

Upon ensuring their place in the top division, they finished in ninth place and participated in the FA Cup for the first time. The club remained in the Northern League First Division for the next twelve years, winning the Durham FA Challenge Cup in 2016.

Newton St Loe Castle

Newton St Loe Castle ist eine Burg im Dorf Newton St Loe in der englischen Grafschaft Somerset. Geschichte Newton St Loe Castle wurde ursprünglich als befestigtes Herrenhaus, vermutlich im 12. Jahrhundert, errichtet. Das Haus ist vom Newton Park, damals ein mittelalterlicher Rehpark, umgeben. Zu Beginn des 14. Jahrhunderts wurde als Teil eines größeren Bauprogramms der Familie St Loe ein Donjon auf dem Gelände errichtet, sodass eine rechteckige Burg mit Innenhof und vier Türmen entstand, das an drei Seiten von einem Graben geschützt war. 1375 erbte Elizabeth St Loe als letzter Spross ihrer Familie das Anwesen. Sie heiratete William, 2. Baron Botreaux. Sir Walter Hungerford ließ in der ersten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts ein neues Torhaus errichten, das Tourellen, Maschikulis und eine frühe Stückpforte hatte. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde der Park um die Burg zu einem Landschaftspark umgestaltet und dort das heutige Landhaus mit seinen Gärten errichtet. Nur der renovierte Donjon und das Torhaus sind von Newton St Loe Castle bis heute erhalten; ein nahegelegener Mound markiert den Standort eines der vier Türme der Burg aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Heute ist das Anwesen von der Bath Spa University gepachtet; sowohl der Donjon als auch das Torhaus gelten als Scheduled Monuments und English Heritage hat sie als historische Bauwerke I. Grades gelistet. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
Newton St Loe Castle

Newton St Loe Castle was a fortified manor house in the village of Newton St Loe, Somerset, England. Parts of it survive: a 14th-century keep and 15th-century gatehouse, both Grade I listed buildings. Description The lands around Newton St. Loe (Newton Seyntloo) were owned by the de Paveleys of Westbury, Wiltshire. John de Paveley died without an heir, so his lands passed through marriage to John de Sancto Laudo, a knight who gained recognition for his actions at Acre during the Crusades. Newton St Loe Castle was built as a fortified manor house, probably in the 12th century, surrounded by Newton Park, then a medieval deer park. During its time the castle was known as St. John's keep, for apparently holding King John under arrest by William de Sancto Laudo. At the start of the 14th century, a keep was built on the site as part of a wider programme of work by the St Loe family, creating a rectangular, courtyard castle with four corner towers, protected by a ditch on three sides. In 1375 the site was inherited by Elizabeth, the last of the St Loe family, who married William, Baron Botreaux. Sir Walter Hungerford built a new gatehouse at the castle during the first half of the 15th century, which features turrets, machicolations and an early gunport. Later uses In the 19th century, the castle and the surrounding park were heavily landscaped to produce the current country house and gardens; only the renovated keep and the gatehouse survive intact, although a nearby mound marks one of the corner towers of the 14th-century castle. During the 1970s and 1980s the castle was home to the Religious Studies department of Bath College of Higher Education (now Bath Spa University). In 1984 the keep and gatehouse were separately designated as Grade I listed buildings. Today the site is leased by Bath Spa University.

Newtown Old Town Hall

The Old Town Hall is a municipal building in the High Street in Town Lane, Newtown, Isle of Wight, England. The structure, which is used as a tourist attraction, is a Grade II* listed building. Newtown is now a small village, and its town hall is owned by the National Trust. History Newtown developed as a commercial centre and a borough in the 14th century. However, it failed to recover after a French raid in 1377 and Queen Elizabeth I awarded the town two parliamentary seats to try to stimulate economic development in 1584. In the late 17th century, the mayor and burgesses decided to commission a town hall in order to be able to exercise the privileges afforded to them of holding dinners at which they would confirm the names of the candidates for the two seats. The new building was designed in the Tudor style, built in red brick and was completed in around 1699. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with two bays facing north along Town Lane; there was a doorway on the ground floor and two rounded headed windows on the first floor. The south-facing frontage featured a doorway on the first floor accessed by an external stone staircase, while the east front featured four casement windows on the ground floor and four round headed windows on the first floor; the west front was completely plain. Internally, the principal rooms were the council chamber and the mayor's parlour. Members of parliament who were chosen in the town hall included the future prime minister, George Canning, in 1806. A portico with four Tuscan order columns supporting a modillioned cornice and a canopy was added in 1813. Newtown had a very small electorate which was dominated by three families (the Barrington, Holmes and Anderson-Pelham families), which meant it was recognised by the UK Parliament as a rotten borough. Its right to elect members of parliament was removed by the Reform Act 1832, and its borough council, which had effectively be extinct from 1835, was formally abolished under the Municipal Corporations Act 1883. After many years of decline and neglect the building was repaired in 1933 under the supervision of John Eric Miers Macgregor, a specialist conservation architect who managed to save the derelict structure. The repair was funded by Ferguson's Gang, a mysterious group of young, anonymous, women benefactors who endowed Newtown Old Town Hall to the National Trust and agreed for it to be run as a Youth Hostel for fifteen years. An exhibition of the exploits of the Gang was put on display in the building, which became a local tourist attraction, open to the public during the summer months. References
Nicholson War Memorial

The Nicholson War Memorial in Leek, Staffordshire, England is a 1925 war memorial. It was commissioned by local manufacturer Sir Arthur Nicholson and his wife Lady Marianne, née Falkner, in memory of their son Lieutenant Basil Lee Nicholson, who was killed in action at Ypres, Belgium, in 1915, at the age of 24; and in memory of all the other local men who died fighting in World War I. It now has plaques commemorating and naming 535 Leek and district men and women who died during World War I and World War II. It is one of the tallest war memorials in the country at 90 feet (27 m) and was restored in 2010–2012. Structure and design It is a Grade II listed building in the form of a red-brick tower clad in Portland stone, with four 2.06 metres (6.8 ft) diameter, illuminated clock faces. There are decorative wrought iron and bronze gates and lamp standards. It was designed by Thomas Worthington & Sons, of Manchester, with tablets designed by The Birmingham Guild of Artists. It was built by Messrs E & A Frith of Macclesfield and Mr Thomas Grace of Leek. The ironwork was made by a blacksmith called Mr Hart, of Salford. The clock mechanism and the five bells were made by Gents' of Leicester. The bells weigh 1,270 kilograms (2,800 lb) in total. Dedication The memorial was officially opened and dedicated on Thursday 20 August 1925 at 2.30 pm. A Thursday was chosen as it was the day of half-day closing for local shops. Many local factories also closed that afternoon, as a mark of respect. Basil's brother Lt Colonel Arthur Falkner Nicholson (known as Falkner Nicholson) presided at the dedication. The other surviving brother, Lt Col Malcolm Nicholson, was also present. A dedication tablet was unveiled by Lieutenant General Sir Charles Harington, at the time General Officer Commanding, Northern Command, and the dedication was by Lionel Crawfurd, the Bishop of Stafford. Two memorial tablets listing the names of the dead were unveiled by two Boy Scouts, who had each lost their father during the war, Frank Prime and Cyril Plant. Plant died during World War II, serving with the Royal Navy. At the ceremony, the deeds to the land and the building were presented to the Trustees of the Leek Town Lands and to Leek Urban District Council, who agreed to accept responsibility for the memorial on behalf of the people of Leek. Leek Town Council inherited that responsibility on their formation in 1974. Around the top of the memorial are the names of battles involving the 46th (North Midland) Division, which included the Old Leek Battery and the Territorial 1/5th and 1/6th Battalions of the North and South Staffordshire Regiments, in which men form Leek served. Restoration Following a £178,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund the tower was restored by Prestec Ltd. of Lichfield and the clock mechanism replaced. Alterations were made to the interior of the building, to allow public access. It reopened for public tours in 2012. Guided tours are provided by members of a voluntary group, The Friends of the Nicholson War Memorial. The original clock mechanism is now on display in a local museum.
