Fawley A.F.C.

Fawley Association Football Club is a football club based in Fawley, near Southampton, in Hampshire, England. They are currently members of Wessex League Division One and play at the Waterside Sports & Social Club in Holbury. History The club was established in 1923 under the name AGWI United, taking their name from the Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies Oil Company that owned the Fawley Refinery, opened two years previously. They joined Division Two of the Hampshire League in 1929 and finished bottom of the division in their first season in the league. The club remained in Division Two until World War II. Following the war the club became members of Division Three (West) in 1948 and finished bottom of the division in 1948–49. They were then renamed Esso (Fawley), reflecting the purchase of the refinery by Esso. Esso (Fawley) finished bottom of Division Three (West) again in 1951–52. Although the following season saw the club win the division, earning promotion to Division Two, they finished bottom of Division Two in 1953–54 and were relegated to Division Three (East). They finished bottom of Division Three (East) the following season. In 1955 league reorganisation saw the two regional third divisions merged, but after finishing second-from-bottom of the new Division Three in 1955–56, the club left the league. They returned to the league in 1960, rejoining Division Three. They finished bottom of the division in 1967–68, after which Division Three was split into East and West sections again, with the club placed in Division Three West; they went on to finish bottom of the division for the next two seasons, after which the club left the league again. After playing in the Southampton Saturday League, Esso (Fawley) rejoined Division Three of the Hampshire League in 1992. They were Division Three champions in 1994–95, earning promotion to Division Two. A fifth-place finish in Division Two in 1998–99 saw the club promotion to Division One, which was renamed the Premier Division for the following season. In 2002 the club adopted their current name. In 2004 the Hampshire League merged into the Wessex League, with Fawley becoming members of the new Division Two (renamed Division One in 2006). In 2009–10 the club were Division One runners-up and were promoted to the Premier Division. They were relegated back to Division One at the end of the 2016–17 season after finishing in the bottom three of the Premier Division.

Kraftwerk Fawley

Das Kraftwerk Fawley war ein in der südenglischen Grafschaft Hampshire nahe der Ortschaft Fawley im District New Forest gelegenes ölbefeuertes Dampfkraftwerk. Bauherr der von 1964 bis 1971 errichteten Anlage war das Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB). Es wurde 2013 vom Eigentümer und Betreiber RWE npower, einem der Rechtsnachfolger der CEGB, aufgrund der EU-Richtlinie 2001/80/EG vom 23. Oktober 2001 zur Begrenzung von Schadstoffemissionen von Großfeuerungsanlagen in die Luft außer Betrieb genommen. Als Wärmesenke zur Kühlung der Kondensatoren diente das Wasser des Meeresarmes Southampton Water, weswegen das Kraftwerk über keinen Kühlturm verfügt. Die Versorgung mit dem Brennstoff Schweröl erfolgte über eine Produktenleitung von der nahen Erdölraffinerie Fawley. Zusätzlich wurde ein kleiner Hafen mit einer Entladepier direkt am Kraftwerk errichtet, um Öl mit Tankschiffen anliefern zu können. Fawley Tunnel Zur Anbindung an das Hochspannungsnetz wurde ein Leitungstunnel unter dem Southampton Water zur am Ostufer gelegenen Ortschaft Chilling errichtet, da eine Freileitung durch die eingeschränkte Durchfahrtshöhe den Schiffsverkehr nach Southampton behindert hätte. Der Tunnel hat eine Länge von 3,2 km und einen Durchmesser von ca. 3 Metern. Beim Bau wurden gusseiserne Tübbing-Ringe mit 12 Fuß Außendurchmesser (entspricht 3,66 m) verwendet. Trivia Das Kraftwerk diente mehrfach als Drehort und Filmkulisse für Kinofilme und Werbespots. Das futuristisch gestaltete Gebäude, welches den Leitstand beherbergt, war 1975 Kulisse für das „Weltkontrollcenter“ im Film Rollerball. Im November 2015 wurden Aufnahmen für Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation auf dem Gelände gedreht. 2017 fanden Dreharbeiten für den 2018 erschienenen Film Solo: A Star Wars Story des Star-Wars-Franchise auf dem Kraftwerksgelände statt.

The Valley Leadership Academy

The Valley Leadership Academy (formerly Fearns Community Sports College) is an 11–16 co-educational secondary school with academy status in Stacksteads, Bacup, Lancashire, England. It was formerly a community school and adopted its present name after becoming an academy in July 2019. It is part of Star Academies. School inspections In June 2014, the school was placed in special measures, after being rated 'inadequate' in every category of the latest Ofsted report. The inspectors stated that "marking is ‘inconsistent’, pupil attendance is poor and senior leaders and governors have failed to improve the quality of teaching and raise achievement since the last ‘satisfactory’ inspection in June 2012". After two further inspections also deemed the school to be inadequate, in September 2023 Ofsted rated the school as 'requires improvement', following its first inspection since becoming an academy.

Featherstone Castle

Featherstone Castle er en stor gotisk herregård, der ligger ved floden South Tyne omkring 5 km sydvest for byen Haltwhistle i Northumberland, England. En herregård på stedet tilhørte Featherstonehaugh-familien i 1000-tallet. Den spillede en vigtig rolle i konflikterne mellem englænderne og skotterne. I 1541 blev ejedommen beskrevet som et beboelsestårn, der var beboet af Thomas Featherstonehaugh. I 1600-tallet blev den købt af Sir William Howard (far til 1. jarl af Carlisle) og blev ombygget og udvidet betragteligt. Det er en listed building af første grad.

Featherstone Castle

Featherstone Castle ist ein Landhaus an den Ufern des South Tyne, etwa fünf Kilometer südwestlich der Kleinstadt Haltwhistle in der englischen Grafschaft Northumberland. Das große Gebäude in gotischem Stil ist von English Heritage als historisches Bauwerk I. Grades gelistet. Mittelalterliche Ursprünge Die ersten Aufzeichnungen aus dieser Gegend stammen aus römischer Zeit. Im Jahre 122 n. Chr. bauten die Römer den Hadrianswall, der etwa fünf Kilometer nördlich von Featherstone Castle verläuft. Das Herrenhaus, das im 11. Jahrhundert an der Stelle des heutigen Landhauses stand, gehörte der Familie Featherstonehaugh. In den Grenzkämpfen zwischen den Engländern und den Schotten spielte es eine bedeutende Rolle. An das ursprünglich im 13. Jahrhundert errichtete traditionelle Landhaus ließ Thomas de Featherstonehaugh 1330 einen dreistöckigen Peel Tower mit quadratischem Grundriss anbauen. Ein Bericht von 1541 beschreibt das Anwesen als Wohnturm in gutem Zustand, das von einem Thomas Featherstonehaugh bewohnt wird. Neuzeit Im 17. Jahrhundert erwarb Sir William Howard, der Vater des 1. Earl of Carlisle, das Anwesen und ließ es umbauen und erheblich erweitern. 1711 kaufte Matthew Featherstonehaugh (1662–1762) das Haus vom Earl of Carlisle zurück. Ein Bericht von 1715 stellte „ein altes und gut gebautes Gebäude“ fest. Die Familie blieb in Besitz von Featherstone Castle, bis Sir Matthew Fetherstonehaugh das Anwesen um 1789 an den Politiker James Wallace verkaufte. Dessen Sohn Thomas Wallace ließ zwischen 1812 und 1830 verschiedene Umbauten durchführen. Lord Wallace vermachte das Anwesen dann seinem Neffen, Colonel James Hope (1807–1854), Sohn des Earl of Hopetoun, der daraufhin seinen Namen in „Hope-Wallace“ änderte. Die vielen Umbauten führten zu einem großen zinnenbewehrten komplexen Landhaus mit rechteckigem Grundriss. Es hat einen Hof in der Mitte und Türme an jeder Ecke. Heute 1950 wurde das Anwesen erneut verkauft und wurde zur Privatschule Hillbrow School. Der Name der Schule stammte von ihrem ursprünglichen Standort in der Nähe der Rugby School in den Midlands. Die Hillbrow School war ursprünglich in Overslade House untergebracht, bis das Gebäude 1940 durch eine Landmine geschädigt worden war. 1961 zog die Schule in ein neues Gebäude, Ridley Hall, und Featherstone Castle wurde in ein Konferenz-, Wohn- und Veranstaltungszentrum für junge Leute und Studenten umgewandelt.

Castello di Featherstone

Il castello di Featherstone (in inglese Featherstone Castle) è uno storico edificio in stile gotico del villaggio inglese di Featherstone, nella contea del Northumberland (Inghilterra nord-orientale), realizzato per volere della famiglia Fetherstonhaugh (o Fetherstonhalg) tra la fine del XII secolo e il XIV secolo e rimodellato nel corso del XVII secolo e negli anni venti e trenta del XIX secolo. È classificato come castello di primo grado. Storia La proprietà del territorio di Featherstone (all'epoca: Fetherstonhalg) venne concessa agli antenati della famiglia Fetherstonhaugh subito dopo la battaglia di Hastings e la conseguente conquista dell'Inghilterra da parte di Guglielmo il Conquistatore. Le parti più antiche del castello vennero realizzate tra la fine del XII secolo e il XIII secolo per volere di Adam de Tyndale, cognato di William de Fetherstonhalg. Per la realizzazione dell'edificio, un maniero costituito da un'unica camera da letto e da uno spazio adibito a cucina, vennero impiegati architetti e lavoratori scozzesi. In seguito, vennero aggiunte all'edificio altre ali abitative. Il maniero venne quindi fortificato per volere di Thomas de Fetherstonhalg negli anni trenta del XIV secolo, quando nell'ala sud-occidentale della struttura venne aggiunta una peel tower, realizzata sul modello di altre torri del Northumberland. In seguito, il castello di Featherstone, che nel 1415 venne incluso nella lista delle fortezze inglesi, divenne un importante baluardo a difesa dei confini nelle guerra contro gli Scozzesi. La struttura rimase quindi inalterata fino al XVII secolo, quando furono apportate importanti modifiche per volere di Sir Timothy di Fetherstonhaugh. Dopo la cattura (avvenuta nella battaglia di Worcester) e alla successiva esecuzione (avvenuta a Bolton) di quest'ultimo, il castello di Featherstone venne confiscato dalle truppe parlamentariane e la famiglia Fetherstonhaugh perse la sua proprietà. Il castello, che nel frattempo era stato ceduto ai conti di Carlisle, venne però riacquistato d un membro della famiglia Fetherstonhaugh, Matthew de Fetherstonhaugh di Newcastle, nel 1711. Il castello divenne quindi di proprietà di James Wallacee alla fine del XVII secolo e nel corso del secolo successivo venne quindi sottoposto a un'opera di restauro. Durante i lavori, venne rinvenuto lo stemma della famiglia Fetherstonhaugh, che venne quindi utilizzato a modello per decorare i soffitti di alcune sale. In seguito, nel corso della seconda guerra mondiale, la tenuta del castello di Featherstone ospitò un grande campo di prigionia noto come POW Camp 18. Terminata la guerra, il castello venne adibito a istituto scolastico tra l'inizio degli anni cinquanta e l'inizio degli anni sessanta e successivamente a centro per le conferenze. Architettura Il castello si erge lungo la confluenza dei fiumi Hartley e South Tyne ed è costituito da una pianta rettangolare sorretta da torri angolari.

Абатство Гластънбъри

Абатство Гластънбъри (на английски: Glastonbury Abbey) е историческо бенедиктинско абатство в Гластънбъри, Съмърсет, Англия. Поне от 12 век районът на Гластънбъри е силно свързан с легендата за крал Артур, връзка, поддържана от средновековни монаси, които твърдят, че Гластънбъри е Авалон. Абатството и неговите имоти са конфискувани в полза на короната по време на Английската реформация при крал Хенри VIII. Руините на абатството днес са туристически обект за посещение. История Абатството е основано през 7 век. След битката при Пеониум през 658 г. абатството попада в ръцете на англосаксонците. Кралят на Уесекс Ине обогатява имуществото на монашеската общност, обитаваща Гластънбъри. Той ръководи построяването на каменна църква през 712 г., чиито основи сега формират западния край на нефа. През 9 век Гластънбъри е ограбено от датчани. Абатската църква е уголемена през 10 век от абат св. Дънстан, централната фигура на възраждането на английския монашески живот през 10 век. Той установява управлението на бенедиктинския орден в Гластънбъри. През 967 г. тялото на крал Едмънд е положено в абатството. През 1016 г. Едмънд II също е погребан в абатството. След норманското нашествие новият абат Търстин добавя към църквата, в източна посока. През 1077 г. обаче е освободен, след като въоръжени членове на свитата му убиват монаси до самия олтар. Когато през 1086 г. Уилям Завоевателя нарежда съставянето на Книгата на Страшния съд от 1086 г. абатство Гластънбъри е най-богатият манастир в Англия. През 1184 г. голям пожар в Гластънбъри унищожава монашеските сгради. Възстановяването започва почти незабавно и Параклисът на Богородица, който включва кладенецът, е осветен през 1186 г. През 1191 г. абатът Хенри де Сули възлага търсене, при което е открит на дълбочина 5 метра масивен кух дъбов ствол, съдържащ два скелета. Според хронистът Жиралд Камбренсис над него се намирал оловен кръст с надписа Hic jacet sepultus inclitus rex Arthurus in insula Avalonia („Тук лежи погребан известният крал Артур на остров Авалон“). През 14 век само Уестминстърското абатство е по-богато от Гластънбъри. През 1539 г. абатството е лишено от богатствата си по време на кампанията на крал Хенри VIII за конфискация на имуществото и разтуряне на католическите манастири. Абатът Ричард Уайтинг, един от подписалите Акта за върховенството, който направил Хенри VIII глава на църквата, се съпротивлява и е обесен и разчленен на Гластънбърийския хълм на 15 ноември 1539 г. Днес останките на абатсвото са имущество на Англиканската църква. Поклонници се стичат от цяла Западна Европа. Литургии се празнуват в Англиканската, Римокатолическата и Източноправославната традиции. Външни препратки Официален уебсайт на абатство Гластънбъри
Abadía de Glastonbury

La abadía de Glastonbury, situada en Glastonbury, Somerset (Inglaterra), es una iglesia y abadía medieval, cuya leyenda la señala como una de las más antiguas; dado que sus orígenes se remontarían al establecimiento de una comunidad de monjes en el año 63, momento de la llegada de José de Arimatea, que habría aportado el Santo Grial y habría plantado el espino blanco. Aunque estos hechos carecen de realidad histórica y aun de verisimilitud, la abadía conserva su interés gracias a sus ruinas y su verdadera historia. El origen de la abadía se remonta al siglo VII. Las investigaciones arqueológicas de la Universidad de Reading han hallado restos de ocupación romana, sub romana y sajona en el lugar. La abadía fue fundada por monjes britanos a principios del siglo VII. La leyenda que sitúa su origen en el siglo I por obra de José de Arimatea se origina en los relatos de Robert de Boron acerca del Santo Grial y sus vínculos con el mítico rey Arturo y data del siglo XII. Reconstruida, ampliada e incendiada, fue erigida nuevamente en el siglo XII. La abadía disponía de derechos señoriales y de amplios dominios cuando se vio afectada por la Disolución de 1539. En cuanto a las leyendas, una de ellas dice que el rey Arturo y la reina Ginebra están enterrados a Glastonbury y que sus cuerpos fueron "descubiertos" en el cementerio en 1191. Sobradamente diseminadas entre los espacios de césped, las ruinas se erigen altivas entre majestuosos árboles. La capilla de la Virgen, de piedra de Doulting, posee una torreta de ángulo, paredes muy adornadas y admirables puertas; la del norte está decorada con representaciones esculpidas de la Anunciación, los Reyes Magos y Herodes. En el este de las columnas góticas del crucero todavía permanecen de pie las paredes del presbiterio y, detrás, la antigua capilla de Edgardo, mausoleo de los reyes sajones. El edificio de las cocinas del siglo XIV es lo único intacto. El edificio cuadrado está cubierto por un tejado de ocho aguas coronado por dos torres octagonales superpuestas que permitían la evacuación del humo.

Abadia de Glastonbury

A abadia de Glastonbury foi um mosteiro rico e poderoso da cidade de Glastonbury, no condado de Somerset, na Inglaterra. Desde pelo menos o século XII, a área de Glastonbury era frequentemente associada à lenda do Rei Artur, uma conexão motivada pelos monges medievais que afirmavam Glastonbury ser Avalon. A abadia foi suprimida e saqueada durante a Dissolução dos Mosteiros pelo rei Henrique VIII da Inglaterra. As ruínas se tornaram atualmente uma atração turística. Referências
Glastonbury Abbey

Glastonbury Abbey var ett munkkloster för benediktinerorden, i Glastonbury i Somerset i England, verksamt från 712 till 1539. Dess ruiner har klassificerats som en ruin av klass I och som ett antikt monument, och står öppet som turistmål. Det har diskuterats huruvida platsen var en helig religiös plats före kristendomen. Klostret grundades av kung Ine av Wessex 712, och expanderade under 900-talet. Hela klostret förstördes i en brand 1184, men återuppbyggdes, och var under 1300-talet ett av Englands största och rikaste kloster. År 1539 upplöstes och konfiskerades Glastonbury Abbey under klosterupplösningen och dess sista abbot, Richard Whiting (Whyting), blev avrättad på Glastonbury Tor. Klostrets byggnader användes sedan länge som stenbrott. Glastonbury Abbey är berömt för sin association med legenden om kung Artur. Under medeltiden uppmuntrade munkarna legenden om att klostret grundades av Josef av Arimathea och var det legendariska Avalon. År 1191 uppgav sig munkarna ha hittat kvarlevorna av kung Arthur och drottning Guinevere på ägorna. Detta gjorde klostret till en pilgrimsort för turister, och gav det inkomster som finansierade dess återuppbyggnad efter 1184 års brand. Källor Noter
Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club

The Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club is in Felixstowe, Suffolk, England. History The club was founded in 1880. Francis Charteris, Lord Elcho, was considered its founder and the first president of the club. The Rt. Hon. A.J. Balfour (the Prime Minister from 1902 to 1905) was one of the first captains in 1889. He was later captain of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. The club was also the short-lived home of Willie Fernie (the 1883 Open Champion). During World War Two, the club was taken over for use by the Royal Navy. Between 1942 and 1944 it was used as a launch site for Operation Outward. This saw the release of tens of thousands of balloons which were carried to Germany by prevailing winds. The balloon payloads were either incendiary devices, or long trailing steel wires intended to cause short circuits in high voltage power lines. Current status The Martello Course (named after the Martello Tower "T") at Felixstowe Ferry is the fifth oldest course in England, having been established in 1880. Its current design has been attributed to Henry Cotton. The Martello Course has 18 holes, 6379 yards, par 72, right next to the sea with views over the East Anglian coast and Deben Estuary. It is the only links course in Suffolk and one of only 246 true links courses in the world. References External links Official website
