Cradley High School

Cradley High School was a secondary school located in the Cradley area of Halesowen, which is a village in the West Midlands county of England. It is situated in the west end of Halesowen near the borders with Stourbridge and Brierley Hill, namely Homer Hill. As of 2006, the school had 606 pupils on roll. Admissions In 2006, fears were rife that falling numbers on the school's roll might force it to close. In February 2007, Dudley's independent School Organisation Committee approved proposals to close the school with effect from 31 August 2008. The Year 11 pupils left as normal in 2007. Year 10 pupils completed their education at Cradley High and left in 2008. Pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9 transfer to other schools in September 2007, with most pupils moving to Pedmore Technology College. The final year of pupils left the school over the summer of 2008, and the school buildings (along with the adjacent leisure centre) are expected to be sold off for redevelopment. The large school fields, however, are to be retained for community use. The Cradley High buildings were completed in the spring of 1992 at the end of a five-year construction project which saw the original buildings gradually replaced by new ones. The official opening took place on 5 June 1992, but tragedy struck when head teacher Mr John Grass died suddenly from a heart attack. His successor was Ms Toni Fowler, who remained at the school until its closure 16 years later. The origins of Cradley High School date back to 1939, when Cradley Secondary Modern School opened to serve pupils aged 11 and above in the expanding community of Cradley. This school closed in July 1972 as part of a reorganisation of schools in the Halesowen area, and was replaced with Cradley Middle School for pupils aged 9–13. However, this system was scrapped after 10 years and the school was redesignated as an 11-16 comprehensive in September 1982, adopting the name Cradley High School. Within 10 years, the whole school had been rebuilt. Academic performance It has achieved mixed success in the local GCSE tables, being the Dudley borough's lowest-scoring school in 2001, but having improved substantially since then. 2008 arson attack On 28 April 2008 a technology workshop in the school was damaged by fire and smoke in an arson attack. It is believed that a firework was put into the room which set fire to furniture. The fire was attended to by two crews from Brierley Hill and Cradley Heath fire stations. Demolition The school was demolished over the summer of 2010, having been derelict for two years. Website Removal After six years of keeping the website open It was removed in mid-June 2014.

Crafts Study Centre

The Crafts Study Centre is a university museum of modern crafts, located next to the entrance of the University for the Creative Arts at Farnham, Surrey. The Crafts Study Centre holds collections of 20th and 21st century British craft, primarily in the fields of calligraphy and lettering, ceramics, furniture and wood, and textiles, but also has small collections of jewellery, works of art on paper, and other miscellaneous items. The object collections are accompanied by archives such as diaries, correspondence, photographs, catalogues and working notes from crafts practitioners and crafts organisations. In some cases the Centre also holds ‘source collections’, collected from around the world by makers for their own inspiration, enjoyment and knowledge. Much of the collection has been built up from donations and bequests and includes work by Bernard Leach, Lucie Rie, and Hans Coper in ceramics, Ethel Mairet, Phyllis Barron and Dorothy Larcher in textiles; calligraphy by Edward Johnston and Irene Wellington, and furniture by Ernest Gimson and Edward Barnsley. History The Centre was established in 1970 when a small group of crafts makers and educators agreed it was vital to preserve and celebrate the best British crafts of the 20th century. This included Muriel Rose, who became one of the founding trustees and donated her collections and archive to the Centre. The decision to establish the Crafts Study Centre led to a successful partnership with the University of Bath, which housed its collections at the city’s Holburne Museum of Art when the Centre first opened to the public in 1977. In 2000 the Crafts Study Centre relocated to Farnham in Surrey to accept the offer of what was then the Surrey Institute of Art & Design, University College, today the University for the Creative Arts, to construct a new purpose-built space. The Centre opened in a three-storey building in June 2004. The Centre is a registered charity with a Board of Trustees, currently chaired by the potter and writer Alison Britton. It is an accredited museum as recognised by Arts Council England. Exhibitions and events The Crafts Study Centre has a programme of exhibitions from both its permanent collections and of work by contemporary artists and makers. It also hosts talks, lectures, symposiums, open days, workshops and other events by artist-makers. Facilities The Crafts Study Centre has a shop, which sells publications from its exhibitions present and past and other titles, alongside crafts magazines such as Ceramic Review and Selvedge. The shop also stocks work by makers from across the UK. The Centre also has a Library with a collection of books and periodicals relating to craft, and a Research Room which is available to the public by appointment for dedicated research visits.

Crag Hall

Crag Hall is a country house east of the village of Wildboarclough, Cheshire, England and owned by the Earl of Derby. Description It was built in 1815 by George Palfreyman, the owner of a textile printing works nearby. It has since been extended by the addition of large curved bow windows at each end of the entrance front. The house is constructed in brick-sized blocks of brown sandstone, with ashlar quoins and dressings. It is roofed in slate. The house is in two storeys. The entrance front has five bays. In the centre is a raised portico with four Ionic columns. It is approached from each side by a flight of steps. Its base is rusticated and contains three arched recesses. Above the portico is a window with an entablature. About the house, Figueirdo and Treuherz comment that "it has an imposing air of millstone grit solidity".

Crag Lough

Crag Lough is an inland lake at the southern edge of Northumberland National Park, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of Bardon Mill, and 0.5 miles (0.8 km) north of the B6318 Military Road in Northumberland, northern England. At this point Hadrian's Wall is at the top of a line of crags, the Whin Sill, with Crag Lough at the foot of the crags. Etymology The etymology of Crag Lough is linked to the Cumbric word luch, meaning 'lake' (cf. Welsh llwch, Scottish Gaelic loch). The 'Crag' element is probably from a word equivalent to Welsh craig, 'cliff'.

Cragside

Cragside è una storica residenza vittoriana della cittadina inglese di Rothbury, nel Northumberland (Inghilterra nord-orientale), realizzata tra il 1863 e il 1895 e appartenuta al magnate William George Armstrong, I barone di Armstrong (1810-1900). La tenuta è gestita dal National Trust e l'edificio principale è classificato come palazzo di primo grado. Storia Tra il 1863 e il 1866, fu realizzata all'interno della tenuta di Cragside, di proprietà del barone William George Armstrong, inventore e imprenditore ricordato come il pioniere della moderna artiglieria, una semplice casa di campagna a due piani progettata da un architetto rimasto anonimo. In origine si trattava di una residenza dove trascorrere le vacanze estive assieme alla moglie. Nel 1868, il palazzo diCragside divenne la prima casa al mondo ad essere dotata di energia idroelettrica. Il progetto venne esteso nel 1870, quando si iniziò a ricavare l'energia idroelettrica da uno dei laghetti della tenuta, che si può così considerare come una delle prime centrali idroelettriche della storia. Nel frattempo, nel 1869, Armstrong aveva incaricato l'architetto Richard Norman Shaw di trasformare l'edificio principale della tenuta in un elaborato palazzo in stile Tudor. La costruzione del nuovo edificio principale terminò nel 1884. Nel 1880, la residenza di Cragside fu una delle prime case al mondo ad essere dotate di energia elettrica. William Armstrong morì a Cragside il 27 dicembre 1900. Nel 1971, Cragside House comparve in una lista delle residenze vittoriane meglio conservate della Gran Bretagna, lista compilata da Mark Girouard. Sei anni dopo, la tenuta di Cragside fu acquisita dal National Trust. Architettura La residenza si trova a nord della cittadina di Rothbury e si estende in un'area di 1.000 acri. Le facciate dell'edificio principale presentano un connubio di vari stili e sono decorate da pile di camini in stile Tudor, archi in stile gotico, bifore, ecc. Nel parco della tenuta si trovano cinque laghetti e crescono circa 7 milioni tra piante e arbusti. Vi si trova inoltre uno dei più grandi giardini rocciosi d'Europa: nel giardino, crescono conifere e rododendri. All'interno dell'edificio principale, si trovano circa 100 stanze. Le sale in stile vittoriano progettate da William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Philip Webb e Burne-Jones.

Cranborne Manor

Cranborne Manor is a Grade I listed country house in Cranborne, Dorset, in southern England. The manor dates back to around 1207/8, and was originally a hunting lodge. It was re-modelled for Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury in the early 17th century. The main seat of the earls and marquesses of Salisbury is Hatfield House in Hertfordshire, and Cranborne Manor is often the home of the heir to the title, who uses the courtesy title Viscount Cranborne. The house The house is a Grade I listed building, being "extremely important both as a rare survival of early C13 domestic architecture and as a fine early C17 country house" remodelled, after 1608, by William Arnold who also worked on Dunster Castle in this period and built Montacute House and Wadham College, Oxford. The original Manor house was actually built for King John in the 12th century and was used as a royal hunting lodge. It is constructed of ashlar, rubble and flint with ashlar dressings. The roofs are tiled and slated, with brick chimney stacks. The house is E-shaped in plan with three storeys, attics and basement. Originally, the house probably had the hall on the first floor, and other rooms over a vaulted undercroft. The windows are seventeenth century and are mullioned. In the southwestern corner there is a tower. The interior of the house has seventeenth-century panelling and fireplaces in many rooms, as well as a number of seventeenth-century stone doorways. The vaulted undercroft dates from the same period and has screens with Doric pilasters, and a gallery with arcaded panelling above. There are some remnants of the thirteenth-century chapel at the east end of the house. The estate and garden The estate consists of a 3,000 acre in hand farm and over 1,700 acres of woods, as well as the park and gardens. The estate is owned by the Marquess of Salisbury through a set of offshore companies. The farm is mostly arable but there is some pastureland, mostly riverside meadows, where the beef suckler herd graze. The Manor is surrounded by extensive formal and informal gardens, lawns, a kitchen garden, walled gardens and an orchard. It contains a water mobile named 'La Source' created by Angela Conner and various other works of art. The garden is open to the public on a regular basis, but the house is not open to the public. The garden featured some of the Horticultural designs of Mollie Wyndham-Quinn, who married the Viscount Cranborne (later the 6th Marquess of Salisbury), before she restored the gardens at Hatfield House.

Cranbourne Lodge

Cranbourne Lodge was a keeper's lodge for the royal hunting grounds of Cranbourne Chase, once adjoining but now part of Windsor Great Park in the English county of Berkshire. All that remains of it today is the Grade II* listed Cranbourne Tower. History The house's origins date from when the royal forest of Windsor was divided up in the 13th century. A substantial house was certainly built there in the reign of King Henry VII. During the reign of his son, Henry VIII, it was the residence of his favourite, Richard Weston. Anne Hyde was born there in 1638. The building was rebuilt and expanded several times in its history, notably by Sir George Carteret, who was visited there by Samuel Pepys. The largest house on the site, including the surviving tower, was erected in 1808. Princess Charlotte In 1814 the young Princess Charlotte, daughter of the Prince Regent (later George IV), was made a virtual prisoner at the Lodge. George and her mother, Caroline of Brunswick, had long been estranged and his relationship with their daughter was little better. As was not unusual at the time, his solution was to marry off this problematic daughter as soon as possible. An engagement with William II of the Netherlands was made in 1814, but this was soon broken off. Charlotte became infatuated with the minor prince Augustus of Prussia, despite his being seen as below the station of a likely future Queen of the United Kingdom. The fact he was already married would have been its own hindrance too. In July 1814, George dismissed her loyal servants, expelled her from her previous home at Warwick House, and forced her to move to Cranbourne, with a staff of his choice. The Prince Regent had been increasingly unpopular with the people, whilst Charlotte and her Whig sympathies were seen as populist reformers. Her incarceration was also unpopular, drawing attention from the Romantic poets Byron and Shelley. Charlotte also attracted the attention of Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. After gaining the Prince's permission to court her at Cranbourne, Charlotte was released from her house arrest in January 1816 and they were married at Carlton House in May. The marriage was a tragic one though, and little over a year later, Charlotte died in childbirth. As the only surviving legitimate grandchild of George III, and thus the only clear royal heir, this dynastic crisis led to "a mad dash towards matrimony by most of her bachelor uncles", a race to provide a further heir that in turn led to Queen Victoria. Cranbourne Tower Today only the Cranbourne Tower remains, as a private residence. The main house fell into disrepair during the 19th century, particularly the main roof. It was demolished in 1865, although this tower was spared as a somewhat independent structure. It was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1975.

Cranford Community College

Cranford Community College is a secondary school with academy status in the London Borough of Hounslow, England. History The school first opened as Woodfield Secondary School. After the Education Act 1944, Spring Grove Central School and the council senior schools became secondary modern schools. The Hounslow Heath secondary school was closed and its buildings were transferred to the neighbouring primary school when the Woodfield secondary modern school was opened in 1954 at the Great South West Road. Cranford Community College was officially opened in 1975. COVID-19 In 2020 and 2021, examinations were cancelled in favour of teacher predicted grades (due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Grading was assessed using a combination of mock exams and classroom performance. In 2021, some of the A-Level Mathematics and Science mock exams and grade data were leaked, and were able to be accessed by students. Fortunately, this was resolved when teachers discovered students accessing these materials. Facilities Two purpose built study centres with 150 computers and additional learning resources available from 8.15am to 5.00pm are available at Cranford Community College. Year 12 have their own study centre and study centre manager who is available to help students with their research, learning, UCAS, Higher Education and employment applications. The sports facilities, drama studios, music practice rooms, dining hall, and media room are also available for use. Use in television In 2014, Cranford Community College was a filming location for the British TV series PREMature. The school in the series goes by the fictional name Karl M. Community College. It is the first drama series to be filmed at the school. References External links Cranford Community College Cranford Review (Publications)
Cranmere Pool

Cranmere Pool is a small depression within a peat bog in the northern half of Dartmoor, Devon, England, at grid reference SX604858. It lies 560 metres (1,840 ft) above sea level on the western flank of Hangingstone Hill, close to the source of the West Okement River, about 500 metres (550 yd) north west of the source of the East Dart River, and about the same distance west of the River Taw's source. Location and history The pool lies within the Okehampton Artillery Range, one of the Ministry of Defence ranges. A military access road which made it possible to drive to within 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) of the pool was closed for civilian use in 2010. Walking distance from the closest civilian road access is now about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi), from the north, at grid reference SX601911, at a starting height of 430 metres (1,410 ft) above sea level and using the existing military access road. Cranmere Pool was once a permanent pool of water, but William Crossing, writing early in the 20th century, stated that it had been over a hundred years since this had been the case. The only time there is standing water today is after heavy rainfall. Cranmere Pool is the location of the first letterbox. William Crossing relates in his Guide to Dartmoor that James Perrott, a well-known Dartmoor guide from Chagford, built a cairn in the pool and placed a bottle there for visitors' cards in 1854. Legends Cranmere Pool is at the heart of several Dartmoor legends, the most common of which involve the former mayor of Okehampton, Benjamin Gayer or Gear who was actually mayor of the town five times during the 17th century and has a memorial in Okehampton church vestry. In one version of the legend "Benjie Gear" was convicted of stealing sheep and as punishment was ordered to empty Cranmere Pool with a sieve. Being a resourceful person, he stole and killed another sheep and lined the sieve with its skin which allowed him to empty the pool so quickly that the town of Okehampton, in the valley below, was flooded. For this misdemeanour he was hanged on nearby Hangingstone Hill and his spirit was condemned to spin all the sand at the bottom of the now-empty pool into ropes. And since he has been unable to find any way of doing this, he is still there and can be heard on dark nights moaning and wailing about his never-ending task. In popular culture In Ernest George Henham's 1906 novel A Pixy in Petticoats (London: Alston Rivers), Cranmere Pool and its famous letterbox play a vital part in the plot. It is a story of unrequited love between Beatrice Pentreath and John Burrough that occurs primarily in Dartmoor. In August 2015 the pool was featured in BBC television's Edwardian Farm. References
