Lamb House

Lamb House is a Grade II* listed 18th-century house situated in Rye, East Sussex, England, and in the ownership of the National Trust. The house is run as a writer's house museum. It has been the home of many writers, including Henry James from 1897 to 1914, E. F. Benson, and Rumer Godden from 1968 to 1973. History and setting for books Lamb House was built in 1722 by James Lamb, a wealthy wine merchant and local politician. In the winter of 1726 King George I took refuge at the house after his ship was washed ashore at nearby Camber Sands. James Lamb gave up his bedroom for the King, while Mrs Lamb gave birth to a baby boy during the night. The child was named George and the king consented to be the boy's godfather. A detached Garden Room, with a large bay window overlooking the street, was built at right angles to the house in 1743, and originally served as a banqueting room. Both Henry James and E. F. Benson later used the Garden Room as a base for their writing during the summer months. The Garden Room was destroyed by a German bomb in 1940. Benson wrote lovingly of both the garden and house, which he renamed "Mallards", in his popular Mapp and Lucia novels. Lamb House is the subject of Joan Aiken's supernatural book The Haunting of Lamb House (1993), comprising three novellas about residents of the house at different times, including James and Benson (both of whom also wrote ghost stories). Other tenants have included the novelist Rumer Godden, the author and academic A. C. Benson, the author and politician H. Montgomery Hyde, the artist and publisher Sir Brian Batsford, politician William Mabane, 1st Baron Mabane, the literary agent Graham Watson, the actor Dominic Rowan and his family, and the writers John Senior and Sarah Philo. National Trust In 1950 the widow of Henry James's nephew gave Lamb House to the National Trust. Some of James's personal possessions are on display, and there is an extensive walled garden, designed by Alfred Parsons at the request of Henry James, which is open to the public along with the house. In 2006 Lamb House was subject to extensive exterior refurbishment, including the application of bird control proofing measures to prevent seagulls from nesting and blocking the internal parapet drainage systems. The measures included the use of a new technique of horizontal parallel wires to prevent gulls from landing. Several sections of stonework and the copper roof were replaced. The works lasted for three months, from April to June. As of 2018, the house will no longer be tenanted and the first floor will be open to the public for the first time. Filming During summer 2014, Lamb House was used as the fictional "Mallards" for a BBC TV adaptation of E. F. Benson's Mapp and Lucia. A temporary replica of the Garden Room was constructed for filming. The series was broadcast on BBC1 over three nights in December 2014.

Lamb House

Lamb House est une maison du XVIIIe siècle classée Grade II* située à Rye, dans le Sussex de l'Est, en Angleterre et appartenant au National Trust. La maison est gérée comme une maison-musée d'écrivain. Elle a été la demeure de nombreux écrivains, dont Henry James de 1897 à 1914, et plus tard Edward Frederic Benson. Histoire Lamb House est construite en 1722 par James Lamb, un riche marchand de vin et homme politique local. Au cours de l'hiver 1726, le roi George Ier se réfugie dans la maison après que son navire se soit échoué à proximité de Camber Sands. James Lamb laisse sa chambre au roi, tandis que Mme Lamb donne naissance à un petit garçon pendant la nuit. L'enfant s'appelle George et le roi consent à être le parrain du garçon. Un salon de jardin indépendant, doté d'une grande baie vitrée donnant sur la rue, est construit à angle droit par rapport à la maison en 1743 et sert à l'origine de salle de banquet. Henry James et EF Benson utilisent ensuite le Garden Room comme base pour leurs écrits pendant les mois d'été. Le Garden Room est détruit par une bombe allemande en 1940. Benson écrit avec amour sur le jardin et la maison, qu'il rebaptise « Colverts », dans ses romans populaires Mapp et Lucia. Lamb House est le sujet du livre surnaturel de Joan Aiken , The Haunting of Lamb House (1993), comprenant trois nouvelles sur les résidents de la maison à différentes époques, dont James et Benson (qui ont tous deux également écrit des histoires de fantômes). Parmi les autres locataires figurent le romancier Rumer Godden, l'auteur et universitaire Arthur Christopher Benson, l'auteur et homme politique H. Montgomery Hyde, l'artiste et éditeur Brian Batsford, l'homme politique William Mabane, l'agent littéraire Graham Watson, l'acteur Dominic Rowan (en) et sa famille. National Trust En 1950, la veuve du neveu de Henry James donne Lamb House au National Trust. Certains des biens personnels de James sont exposés, et il y a un vaste jardin clos, conçu par Alfred Parsons à la demande d'Henry James, qui est ouvert au public avec la maison. En 2006, Lamb House fait l'objet d'une rénovation extérieure approfondie, avec l'application de mesures de contrôle des oiseaux pour empêcher les mouettes de nicher et bloquer les systèmes de drainage internes du parapet.

Lambeth Cemetery

Lambeth Cemetery is a cemetery in Tooting, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is one of three cemeteries owned by Lambeth London Borough Council, the others being West Norwood Cemetery and Streatham Cemetery. History Like nearby Streatham Cemetery, Lambeth Cemetery was developed by a parish burial board in 1854 following the Metropolitan Burial Act 1852, which was a response to the second cholera epidemic of 1848–49. The cemetery is laid out as a rectangular grid of paths, has a few trees and is sited just east of the River Wandle in what was countryside in the 1850s and was largely to remain so for some decades. There are two lodges beside the main gate in Blackshaw Road and a memorial chapel, all built in brick in a Gothic style and designed by F. K. Wehnert and J. Ashdown. The cemetery was extended to the south in 1874 when Robert Taylor was chairman of Lambeth Burial Board, and Hugh Mcintosh was the surveyor who laid out the extension. There is a crematorium and Garden of Remembrance opened in May 1969 in 10 acres (40,000 m2) of gardens at the northern end. Another noteworthy feature is the screen wall memorial, in the south-west corner of the cemetery, unveiled in 1953 for both First and Second World War Commonwealth service personnel whose graves could not be marked by CWGC headstones. There are 217 Commonwealth war graves from the First and 145 from the Second World War, besides one Belgian war grave and 29 British non-world-war service graves. Interments and current use Lambeth Cemetery is said to contain 250,000 burials and was associated with Victorian music hall artists, including the comedians Dan Leno, Stanley Lupino and Charles Chaplin Sr. Robert Kells and David Spence, both Victoria Cross recipients from the Indian Mutiny who ultimately became Yeomen of the Guard, are buried here, though in unmarked graves. Between 1969 and 1991 it was subject to "lawn conversion", and today has a layout of straight paths dotted with trees. The cemetery features predominantly modern, late-20th-century gravestones, many of which have been staked to stop them falling over, with occasional 19th-century gravestones and monuments. The cemetery is visited by green woodpeckers and sparrowhawks and the site is predominantly neutral grassland. The Garden of Remembrance near the Crematorium is maintained as mown grass parkland.

South Bank Colleges

South Bank Colleges is a further education college in the London Borough of Lambeth. It was formed in 1992, initially as Lambeth College, from three former institutions – Vauxhall College of Building and Further Education, Brixton College of Further Education, and South London College (previously known as Norwood Technical College). The college serves around 10,000 students from its three campuses at Clapham, Brixton and Nine Elms. The Nine Elms campus opened in 2023 and this third site specialises in the provision of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Maths). Lambeth College joined London South Bank University (LSBU) Group on 31 January 2019 and became one of three national pilots designed to bring Further and Higher Education together. Now, renamed as South Bank Colleges, it comprises Lambeth College (Clapham Campus and Brixton Campus) and London South Bank Technical College (Nine Elms Campus). Locations The three sites currently in operation are: Clapham 51°27′31″N 0°08′28″W Brixton 51°27′24″N 0°07′09″W Nine Elms 51°28′32″N 0°08′01″W Courses The college offers NVQ, City and Guilds, CPCAB, UAL, NCFE, OCNLR, ESOL,Apprenticeships, Foundation Degree, Access, Online, BTEC courses in many subjects and also T-Level . GCSEs in English and Maths are also offered for students who lack these qualifications or wish to retake them. History Created by an amalgamation of three colleges in 1992, South London College was originally known as Norwood Technical College opening in the 19th century. Lambeth College underwent an overhaul in 2012, becoming an employability focused college with the priority of finding students employment in Lambeth. This change came complete with a new logo and motto for the college along with the planned addition of many new courses and removal of A-levels. Lambeth College became a part of London South Bank University (LSBU) Group on 31 January 2019. South Bank Colleges (SBC) was then established by LSBU to operate further education provision (16-19 yrs) in the LSBU family of educational institutions. As part of LSBU Group, Lambeth College is building a local education model that has technical and applied learning at the heart of its educational philosophy. The Group comprises: London South Bank University; Lambeth College (a wholly owned subsidiary of South Bank Colleges); University Academy of Engineering South Bank and South Bank University Technical College (South Bank Academies, Multi-Academy Trust) The college experienced a period of industrial action in 2014. Faculty members went on strike over proposed contract changes. While the dispute was not fully resolved, it prompted a dialogue about staff concerns and led to investments in the college's facilities, including a redevelopment of the Brixton campus, the construction of the new Nine Elms campus, and, now, a re-build of the Clapham campus (planning permission granted in February 2024). At its last full inspection in 2025, Ofsted gave South Bank Colleges an overall grade of "Good". Notable alumni Kamla Persad-Bissessar References External links Official website
Courage Park, Reading

Courage Park is a public park in the Coley Park suburb of the town of Reading in the English county of Berkshire. The park includes amenity grassland, together with a wooded area to the south of the site. Within the park there is a brick-built pavilion with changing rooms and storage space, a basketball court, and a children's play area. This principal access to the park is from Edenham Crescent, a residential street, and the park was previously known as Edenham Crescent Park. Other pedestrian accesses are available from Wensley Road, Swallows Croft and Coley Avenue. History The grassland area of the park was formerly part of the Courages Sports Ground, a sports ground belonging to the Courage Brewery in the town. This ground was principally provided for the sport and recreation of the brewery staff, but was also used on occasion by Berkshire County Cricket Club. After the brewery was acquired by the Hanson Trust in 1986, and then sold to Elders IXL in 1990, Hanson separately sold the sports ground site for housing development. As part of that development, part of the sports ground was retained for public use, initially known as Edenham Crescent Park. The southern woodland area of the park has a different provenance, having formed the western end of the Ministry of Agriculture site that had occupied the grounds of Coley House since the Second World War. This was separated from the Courage Sports Ground by a fenced public footpath. After the ministry site was redeveloped at the beginning of the 21st century, the woodland became isolated and derelict, whilst the remains of the sports ground became run-down and subject to anti-social behaviour. A project was formed by Reading Borough Council and the Thames Valley Partnership, working with a community steering group of local residents and the Prison Service, to address this. The renovation of the park was undertaken by prisoners from Reading Prison, which at that time was a Young Offenders Institution. At the same time they cleared the undergrowth from the wooded areas, and removed the fences that separated it from the public footpath and open space, thus creating a single park. Prison and probation officers reported that the project provided the offenders with skills and contacts useful for their resettlement, and the project attracted widespread attention, including the site visit of a delegation from Russia. As a result of a suggestion by a local resident, the enlarged park was formally renamed Courage Park in recognition of its previous ownership and the fact the project ‘took courage’ to realise.

Lambeth Hospital

Lambeth Hospital is a mental health facility in Landor Road, South London. It was previously known as the "Landor Road hospital" and is now operated by the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and is affiliated with King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry. It is also part of the King's Health Partners academic health science centre and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre for Mental Health. History There were originally two hospitals on the site: the Stockwell Smallpox Hospital, which opened in 1871, and the Stockwell Fever Hospital, which opened shortly thereafter; these two hospitals combined in 1884 to form the South Western Fever Hospital. It joined the National Health Service in 1948 as the South Western Hospital and contained an out-patient facility, known as the "Landor Road Day Hospital" for psychiatric patients. It closed in the early 1990s and, following demolition in 1996, was replaced by a new mental health facility known as Lambeth Hospital. The new mental health facility was named after a previous Lambeth Hospital, which had opened on the site of Lambeth Workhouse in Renfrew Road, in 1922. In 2014, the Triage ward of the new hospital was featured in an episode of the Channel 4 documentary series Bedlam. The NHS South East London Clinical Commissioning Group announced in May 2020 that Lambeth hospital would close with the services moved to a new building on the Maudsley Hospital site. South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust announced a consultation in July 2020 on proposals to sell land so that 570 houses could be built on the site. Services Lambeth Hospital is situated in Stockwell, within walking distance of Clapham High Street railway station and Clapham North tube station.

Lambton Castle

Lambton Castle er et stateligt hjem, der står på et højdedrag over Chester-le-Street i County Durham, England. Den er hovedsæde for Lambton-familien, der har været jarl af Durham i flere generationer. Størstedelen af bygningen blev opført mellem 1820 og 1828 af John Lambton, den første jarl af Durham og generalguvernør af Canada fra 1838-1839. Den blev tegnet af Joseph Bonomi de ældre og hans søn Ignatius i stil med en normannisk borg. Det er en listed building af anden grad. Parken omkring bygningen er omkranset af en høj mur. Familien afholder årlige fasanjagter. Fra 1972 til 1980 eksisterede Lambton Lion Park på ejendommens jorde. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Lambton Castle

Lambton Castle ist ein Herrenhaus zwischen Sunderland und Chester-le-Street. Das Haus in der englischen Grafschaft County Durham ist der Sitz der Familie Lambton, der Earls of Durham. English Heritage hat es als historisches Gebäude II*. Grades gelistet. Das Herrenhaus wurde in der heute erhaltenen Form im Wesentlichen in den Jahren 1820–1828 für John Lambton, den ersten Earl of Durham und früheren Generalgouverneur von Kanada, um Harraton Hall, ein Herrenhaus aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, gebaut. Das neue Herrenhaus wurde vom Architekten Joseph Bonomi, dem Älteren, und seinem Sohn Ignatius entworfen und im Stil einer normannischen Burg errichtet, wie es damals Mode war. Das Gebäude steht über dem bewaldeten Wear Valley und wurde mit Geldern aus dem Steinkohlebergbau aus Minen unterhalb des Herrenhauses und in anderen Gebieten von County Durham bezahlt, die von Lambton Collieries ausgebeutet wurden. In den Jahren 1862–1865 entstanden Anbauten an das ursprüngliche Haus, z. B. der Rittersaal, die aber 1932 größtenteils wieder abgerissen wurden. Ebenfalls zu dieser Zeit wurde der Inhalt des Hauses versteigert, um die Erbschaftssteuer bezahlen zu können. Die Familie zog dann in die kleinere Biddick Hall auf demselben Anwesen um. Der Park um das Herrenhaus ist von einer hohen Mauer umfriedet und dient auch heute noch der jährlichen Fasanenjagd. In den 1970er-Jahren war hier der „Lambton Lion Park“ beheimatet; er wurde 1972 eröffnet und 1980 wieder geschlossen. Das Penshaw Monument, ein altgriechischer Ehrentempel für den ersten Earl steht auf dem nahegelegenen ‘’Penshaw Hill’’, der früher zum Anwesen von Lambton Castle gehörte. Dieser Hügel wird oft irrtümlich als Ruheplatz des mythischen Lindwurms von Lambton gehalten, wie er im alten Volkslied aus dem Nordosten Englands dargestellt wird. In der Gegend meint man allerdings, dass dies eher der Worm Hill bei Fatfield sei. Die Nordgrenze des Schlossparks verläuft entlang der Grenze zwischen den Grafschaften Tyne and Wear und County Durham. Seit den 1960er-Jahren hat die Familie Lambton immer wieder Teile des Schlossparks an Bauträger verkauft, insbesondere das Land, auf dem die Siedlung Washington New Town steht. Dieses Land musste die Familie allerdings zwangsweise abgeben („Compulsary Purchase Order“). Biddick Wood Estate wurde verkauft, dort entstand eine Verbindungsstraße zwischen der A182 und der A690 sowie ein Gewerbegebiet. Seit 2011 kann das neu eingerichtete Herrenhaus für Hochzeiten, Konferenzen, Bankette und Filmkulisse gebucht werden. 2012 diente Lambton Castle als Filmkulisse für die Fernsehserie The Paradise von BBC One.

Lambton Castle

Lambton Castle stands above Chester-le-Street, County Durham and is a stately home, the ancestral seat of the Lambton family, the Earls of Durham. It is listed in the mid-category of listed building, Grade II*. History Largely constructed as it is between 1820 and 1828 by John Lambton, first Earl of Durham and one-time Governor General of Canada, it was built around Harraton Hall, a 17th-century mansion. The castle was designed by architects Joseph Bonomi the Elder and his son Ignatius and built in the style of a Norman castle, as was the fashion of the time. Later additions to the house built by Sydney Smirke in 1862–65, including the great hall, were largely demolished in 1932. The structure had suffered from subsidence. In the 1930s the family moved to the smaller Biddick Hall on the estate. The park that surrounds the castle is bordered by a high wall. The family keep going its annual pheasant shoot. The grounds from 1972 until 1980 accommodated a venture which closed, Lambton Lion Park. Later the family have sold Biddick Woods enabling a link road from the A182 to the A690 in Houghton-le-Spring and new business units. In 2012, the castle was the setting of the BBC One drama The Paradise. On 30 December 2015 plans for the estate's development were submitted to the local planning authority to help fund park upkeep and conservation, with a vision to turn the castle into a wedding venue, boutique hotel or both, aiming to spend £26 million to £28.5 million on building and labour. The plans were submitted by the Trustees of Lord Durham’s 1989 Voluntary Settlement, which manages the estate on behalf of the family.
