St Wulfram’s Church (Grantham)

Die St Wulfram’s Church in der mittelenglischen Stadt Grantham in der Grafschaft (county) Lincolnshire ist die anglikanische Pfarrkirche (Parish Church) der Stadt. Die das Patrozinium des Hl. Wulfram von Sens tragende Kirche ist als Grade-I-Bauwerk eingestuft und gehört zum Major Churches Network. Lage Die ca. 63 m hoch gelegene und etwa 45.000 Einwohner zählende Stadt Grantham liegt in einer flachen agrarisch genutzten Landschaft etwa 40 km (Fahrtstrecke) östlich von Nottingham. Die alte Stadt Lincoln mit ihrer Kathedrale befindet sich etwa 50 km nördlich. Die St Wulfram's Church ist umgeben von einem Friedhof (churchyard) mit alten Grabsteinen. Geschichte An der Stelle der heutigen Kirchen gab es bereits einen angelsächsischen und einen anglo-normannischen Vorgängerbau, der im Jahr 1222 abbrannte. Im 13. und 14. Jahrhundert stifteten reiche Wollhändler und Kaufleute die spätgotische Kirche, deren insgesamt ca. 86 m hoher Glockenturm weithin sichtbar ist. Zur Zeit der Regentschaft des Lordprotektors Oliver Cromwell (1653–1658) wurde die Kirche zeitweise als Pferdestall genutzt; die Soldaten verbrannten überdies einen Großteil des Mobiliars. In den 1860er Jahren restaurierte der Architekt George Gilbert Scott den Kirchenbau. Architektur Der Grundriss der dreischiffigen Kirche bildet ein langgestrecktes Rechteck; auf ein Querhaus wird verzichtet, aber es gibt zwei – später hinzugefügte – gegenüberliegende kleine Portalvorbauten. Das Langhaus ist durch zwei Arkadenreihen, auf denen Holzgewölbe ruhen, in drei etwa gleich hohe Schiffe unterteilt. Das Maßwerk der Langhausfenster zeigt die typischen kurvilinearen Formen des Decorated Style (ca. 1250–1370); das weitgehend geradlinig verlaufende Maßwerk des Chorfensters hingegen stammt aus der Zeit des Perpendicular Style (ca. 1330–1520). Der durch ständig zurückgestufte Strebepfeiler mit obeliskartigen Aufsätzen stabilisierte Westturm zeigt eine reichhaltige Gliederung bestehend aus Fenstern, Wandnischen, Blendarkaden und Rautenmustern. Die Kirche verfügt über eine – in England seltene – Krypta, in welcher ein Unterarmknochen des Hl. Wulfram von Sens als Reliquie aufbewahrt wurde. Ausstattung Bedeutendstes Stück der im 19. Jahrhundert weitestgehend verkauften Ausstattung der Kirche ist ein spätgotisches Taufbecken aus dem Jahr 1496, welches von einem geschnitzten und farbig gefassten Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 1899 bekrönt wird. In einem Nebenraum befindet sich die älteste (erhaltene) Bibliothek Englands mit angeketteten Büchern (Chained Library) aus dem Jahr 1598 (In England und Irland gibt noch mehrere kleinere Büchereien dieser Art; die größte befindet sich in der Kathedrale von Hereford).

Stag and Hounds, Bristol

The Stag and Hounds is a grade II listed pub in Old Market, Bristol, England. The oldest parts of the building date to 1483, when it was probably as a private house. The current building is predominantly from the early 18th century, when it became a pub. It was partly rebuilt in the 1960s, and refurbished in 1987. At one time the inn was flanked by houses, but the building of a dual carriageway underpass has left it isolated. A well in the former rear court has a 19th-century iron hand pump with flywheel and pump rods, an early example of an installation for raising water from a well. This old iron pump, operated by a wheel six feet in diameter, is in fine condition and all its parts still move. It is unique in Bristol. There is also a minute window looking out onto the courtyard, which opens onto a small room set between floors and is only accessible through a trap-door in what is now a bathroom. It is possible that this may be a survival from the days of priest-hunting. The modern day pub was renowned during the 2010s as a live music venue with a wide variety of bands ranging across many genres, although this has lessened after a change in direction after a refurbishment in 2019. Pie-Poudre Court In Norman times a court was set up to deal summarily with thieves and debtors of a market called the Pie-Poudre Court (also spelt pie poudre or Piepowders). The name comes from the French, "pieds poudrés" which can be translated as "dusty feet", and was a temporary court set up for the duration of a fair or market to deal with travelers who were not resident in the town. It was held in the open air under an ancient oak tree, the site of which the Stag and Hounds was built upon. There is no actual record of when the court moved into the inn, which was reputedly held in the first-floor room. It is believed that this was the last "active" Court of Piepowders, being abolished by the Courts Act 1971. Although it had not actually met since the abolition of the fair in 1870, an annual proclamation was still read on the last day of September under the portico of the inn.

Staines Boat Club

Staines Boat Club is a rowing club between Penton Hook Lock and Bell Weir Lock on the River Thames in England, located next to the Hythe spur of the Thames Path in Egham Hythe, historically also known as Staines hythe, the last word meaning small harbour or river harbour. Location and amenities The club and boat house is on the southern bank of the river at Egham Hythe (its electoral ward and parish), close to the Swan Inn on what was a series of three small islands of Staines-upon-Thames before 1754 and remains its post town, it is adjoined by a spur of the Thames Path, the Hythe towpath, through the small riverside conservation area which is connected to the Runnymede towpath, north-west and Staines Bridge which connects it to the Spelthorne towpath, south. It has a small parking and trailer area of hardstanding. The club has a range of regularly updated and improved charitable amenities including boathouses, a large seating area and hire venue. History The club was founded in 1869 although a Staines Boating Club is recorded as racing in 1867. It was first listed in the Rowing Almanac as racing in that season. The club was established with select membership criteria, restricted to men in 'professional occupations' and preferably having already learnt to row at a school. The Rowing Almanac has been published every year since 1860. Staines Boat Club first appeared in the Almanac in 1870 which recorded the results of the 1869 season and the club appears in every Rowing Almanac since. Since 1909 its oarsmen and women may be invited to join the social Remenham Club which entitles its members and their guests to take part in the only such spectator venue with a clubhouse at Henley Royal Regatta, adjoined by a mound and a large exclusive grass lawn enclosure. Remenham membership is limited to some of the older rowing clubs along the river. Its boathouse formally reopened in May 2022 after renovations.

Staines Railway Bridge

Staines Railway Bridge is a railway viaduct in Staines-upon-Thames, Surrey, around 17 miles (28 kilometres) west of central London. It carries the Waterloo to Reading line across the Thames. Immediately to the east is Thames Street bridge, which carries the railway over the B376 and the Thames Path. Description Staines Railway Bridge carries the two tracks of the electrified Waterloo to Reading line across the River Thames in Surrey, South East England. The bridge is 35 mi 3 furlongs (57 km) upstream of London Bridge and has a total length of 85.2 m (279 ft 8 in). It is built of wrought iron girders supported on six cast iron pillars, embedded in the river bed. The central span is 27 m (88 ft 6 in) and the two adjacent spans are 26 m (85 ft 3 in). There are four brick flood arches on the southern bank, each with a span of 7.6 m (25 ft). The clearance below the bridge for river traffic is 6.4 m (21 ft). History The Staines, Wokingham, and Woking Railway Act 1853 (16 & 17 Vict. c. lxxxv) authorised the Staines, Wokingham and Woking Railway (SWWR) to build a line between Staines and Wokingham railway stations. Staines Railway Bridge was designed by John Gardner and was built by Cochrane & Co at a total cost of around £10,000. The bridge was completed in 1856, and the first part of the railway line, between Staines and Ascot, opened on 6 July that year. The SWWR merged with the London and South Western Railway in 1878. The main bridge girders were strengthened in 1915, and the line across the viaduct was electrified in 1937. During the Second World War, the line was used to transport supplies to Portsmouth Naval Base and the bridge was guarded by a dedicated army platoon of around 25 soldiers. In 1995, a yellow stripe was painted onto each side of the viaduct in a £15,000 experimental project to prevent swans from flying into it. Thames Street bridge The adjacent Thames Street bridge, which carries the railway over the B376 and the Thames Path, was named in 2021 as one of the country's ten railway bridges most likely to be struck by vehicles.

Stainsby Mill

Stainsby Mill is a 19th-century flour watermill in Doe Lea, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England. The mill, which has been restored to full working order, is a Grade II listed building and is under the ownership of the National Trust. The mill is part of the Hardwick Hall estate. History A mill on this site appears to have existed from the early 13th century. Originally all the water for the mill came from the River Doe Lea which fed the Miller's Pond on the Hardwick estate. By 1762 the Stainsby Pond, fed by the Stainsby Brook, had been constructed and the water also fed into the Mill Pond which was situated on the other side of the road from the mill. Water was allowed into the mill race by sluice gates under the road. The current mill By the 1840s the mill had become dilapidated and William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire decided it needed rebuilding and re-equipping. The mill was substantially rebuilt in dressed stone from the Hardwick Estate and fitted with modern machinery, including a 17 ft (5.2 m) diameter breast shot water wheel, between 1846 and 1850. It was in operation for a century until it finally closed in 1952. Up till 1865, the millers were members of the Saunders family who had worked the mill since 1689. Subsequently, the tenancy passed into the Hitch family for the rest of its working life, the last miller being William Hitch. Preservation and restoration As a result of the death of the 10th Duke of Devonshire in 1950, as part of the Hardwick Estate, the mill was passed to the government in lieu of death duties. It was given to the National Trust who carried out a partial restoration in 1976. As a result of a report on the mill's future by the Ault Hucknall Environment Group in 1990, a full restoration to working order was commenced in 1991 with the mill being opened to the public again in 1992.

Stambermill Viaduct

Stambermill Village Viaduct, also known as Stourbridge Viaduct is a railway bridge located on the northern side of Stourbridge Town in the West Midlands of England. It was built in timber to a design by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1852 and rebuilt in brick 30 years later. It has 10 arches and carries the railway across the River Stour. History The viaduct was built for the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway (OWW). The OWW was under the influence of the Great Western Railway (GWR) and so commissioned the GWR's chief engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, to survey the route for its line. Brunel designed three similar viaducts within the space of eight miles (12 kilometres) between Kidderminster and Stourbridge—the Hoo Brook Viaduct, shortly after leaving Kidderminster, Blakedown Viaduct, and Stambermill Viaduct. Brunel supervised the early stages of the construction of the line, including the three viaducts, and it opened from 1852. To save costs, Brunel designed all three viaducts as timber structures. The engineer famously used timber on his Cornwall Railway viaducts but contemporary photographs show that the OWW viaducts had little else in common with those in Cornwall. All three were replaced with Staffordshire blue brick arch structures in the 1880s—Stambermill between 1881 and 1882. Stembermill Viaduct opened with the line in 1853 and was rebuilt in brick from 1881 to 1882. It carried passenger trains until 1964. It is still in use by freight trains serving the Round Oak Steel Terminal in Brierley Hill. A reopening of the South Staffordshire Line as part West Midlands Metro tram network is under consideration. The viaduct was subject to six weeks of maintenance and improvement works in September 2013. Description Stambermill Viaduct carries the railway line across the River Stour, its valley, and Birmingham Street. It has ten equal arches and is 190 yards (170 metres) long, making the longest of the three viaducts on this stretch of line. It reaches a maximum height of 94 feet (29 metres) above the river. The arches are supported by tapering piers at the top of which are tall plinths and impost bands from which the arches spring. At the Birmingham Street end is a substantial buttress, containing a blind arch, and wing wall. The bridge is a Grade II listed building, first designated in September 1971, a status which provides it legal protection. Gallery References
