Rothamsted Park

Rothamsted Park is a 56-acre (230,000 m2) public park in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. History The Park was formerly part of the Manor of Rothamsted, later Rothamsted estate, owned by Sir John Lawes. He initiated agricultural experiments in 1843, which led to the founding of the nearby Rothamsted Experimental Station. He also created the formal entrance from Leyton Road to what is now the Park and planted the avenue of Lime trees. In 1931, the family decided to sell the estate, and after a successful public appeal, the Experimental Station was able to finance its purchase of the estate in 1934. In 1938 the Harpenden Urban District Council purchased the land now known as Rothamsted park from the Experimental Station, in order to provide playing fields and to preserve an important open space. Rothamsted Park is also home to Harpenden Town FC. The Park's main entrance gates were removed for salvage during World War II, and after the war the restoration of the entrance was paid for by the Friends Provident Insurance Company. Facilities The Park covers 23 hectares and is home to Harpenden's leisure centre, swimming pool and theatre, The Eric Morecambe Centre. It has grown to become a sports and recreation hub with a diverse range of facilities including football pitches, floodlit tennis courts and netball courts, cricket and a MUGA which is used for 5-a-side football, hockey and exercise classes. In 2023 Rothamsted Park's artificial grass football pitch was opened, a new home for Harpenden Town FC and Colts FC and a first class addition to the Park. There is also a children's play area with three nature themed zones for different age groups. Harpenden Town Council (which has owned the Park since 2021) has published several guides including a walking guide and tree trail. More information can be found on their website (See References).

Rothamsted Manor

Rothamsted Manor ist ein Herrenhaus in der englischen Stadt Harpenden. Es liegt etwa 40 km nördlich von London in der Grafschaft Hertfordshire. Während des Mittelalters war es ein Rittergut (englisch manor). Im Zweiten Weltkrieg befand sich dort eine wichtige Funkabhörstelle (englisch Y station) des britischen Geheimdienstes. Geschichte Das Anwesen wird urkundlich zum ersten Mal im Jahr 1212 erwähnt, als es von Henry Gubion erworben wurde. Im Jahr 1292 wechselte der Besitz auf William Nowell, der es 1355 an Ralph de Creci veräußerte. Durch Heirat seiner Erbin Elizabeth Cressy mit Edmund Bardolph im Jahr 1519 gelangte es in den Besitz der Bardolph-Familie, bevor es 1623 von Anne Wittewronge, der Witwe von Jacob Wittewronge, im Namen ihres damals vierjährigen Sohnes John erworben wurde. John wurde 1639 der Lord des Manor of Rothamsted und vererbte den Besitz weiter in der Familie. Am 28. Dezember 1814 wurde John Bennet Lawes im Haus geboren. Er gründete später die Rothamsted Experimental Station, die heutige Rothamsted Research. Rothamsted Manor mitsamt der umgebenden Gärten wurden in den 1930er-Jahren von der Familie Lawes-Wittewronge für 35.000 Pfund Sterling gekauft. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde es requiriert und in eine Funkabhörstelle (Y station) der britischen Government Code and Cypher School (G.C.& C.S.) (deutsch etwa „Staatliche Code- und Chiffrenschule“) umgewandelt und fungierte als Harpenden Y Station (deutsch „Funkabhörstelle Harpenden“). Nach dem Krieg diente es eine Zeit lang als Gästehaus und ist heute ein exklusiver Veranstaltungsort in Harpenden. Weblinks Rothamsted Manor (englisch). Abgerufen am 24. April 2017.

Rothamsted Manor

Rothamsted Manor is a former manor and current manor house, situated in Harpenden Rural in the English county of Hertfordshire. A Grade I listed building, dating in part from the 17th century, it is now an events venue, while the surrounding estate is home to the Rothamsted Research Centre. History The first recorded mention of Rothamsted is in 1212, when Richard de Merston owned lands there. In 1221, a house with a chapel and garden are referred to in a land grant. By 1292 Rothamsted had passed to the Nowell family, passing to the Cresseys by 1355, and to the Bardolphs by 1525. By this time there was a substantial manor house, with at least 16 rooms. In 1623 Edmund Bardolph sold Rothamsted to Anne Wittewronge. The Wittewronges were Calvinists who had fled religious persecution in Ghent in 1564, and had founded a brewery in London. In the 17th century, Sir John Wittewronge, Anne's son, gave the house its Dutch style. The manor remained with the Wittewronge family until 1763, when Thomas Wittewronge died and the manor passed to his cousin John Bennet. He in turn left the manor to John Bennet Lawes, the son of his sister. In 1843, Sir John Bennet Lawes, the son of the earlier John Bennet Lawes, founded the Rothamsted Experimental Station, an agricultural research station, on the grounds of the manor. In 1931, his descendants decided to sell the estate, and after a successful public appeal, the Experimental Station was able to finance the purchase of the estate in 1934. In 1938 the Harpenden Urban District Council purchased the portion of the estate now known as Rothamsted Park from the Experimental Station, in order to provide playing fields and to preserve an important open space. The remainder of the estate is still used by Rothamsted Research, as the Rothamsted Experimental Station is now known. The manor house used to serve as accommodation for staff, but now functions predominantly as a function venue. The New Zealand architect Frederick Strouts used Rothamsted Manor as his inspiration for the design of Ivey Hall, which was built between 1878 and 1880 and is now the main building of Lincoln University.

Rother Valley Country Park

The Rother Valley Country Park is a country park in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England, close to Rotherham's border with Sheffield and Derbyshire. It covers 3 square kilometres (750 acres) and has four artificial lakes, recreational activities and nature reserves. The majority of the park is on land that was open cast for coal, with the main excavation sites filled by the artificial lakes. Description The park was officially opened on 27 May 1983, at a cost of £4 million. It aimed to provide an area for recreational pursuits, encourage wildlife to return to the area, and provide a flood protection plan for the areas downstream. When the construction was finished, the lakes were filled with fresh water from The Moss (about 1.6 miles (2.5 km) away) because the River Rother was so heavily polluted at that time. The park was formerly a mixture of meadows and marshy bullrush beds before the open cast excavation started. At the eastern side of the lake stands the Bedgrave Mill courtyard, where the visitor centre is located displaying the flood defence map and the original mill mechanism "flour into grain" exhibition from when it was a water mill. There is also a craft centre and "The Stables" cafe. Cable waterskiing and miniature railway Rother Valley Country Park is home to Sheffield Cable Waterski and Aqua Park. The cable waterski system was installed when the park was originally opened to the public; it was one of the few cable waterski systems in the UK at the time. In recent years an Aqua Park (inflatable obstacle course) was added. The popularity of cable waterskiing has since grown significantly, and there are now a number of these systems in the UK, mainly focused on offering kneeboarding and wakeboarding facilities and what is now called a Wake Park, which is a collection of obstacles (kickers, sliders, etc.) floating in the lake that riders will "hit" on their way round and do tricks from. It is very similar to a snowboard or skateboard park. There are a licensed waterfront bar and a café at Sheffield Cable Waterski. An 800-metre (2,600 ft) long 7+1⁄4 in (184 mm) gauge miniature railway was opened on the east side of the main lake in 2009. The railway owns two locomotives, one diesel hydraulic and the other battery electric. Passengers are carried in carriages which they either sit in, or sit astride. Gulliver's Valley In February 2017, planning permission was granted for a new resort to be built alongside Rother Valley called "Gulliver's Valley". It is operated by Gullivers theme parks, which operates Gulliver's Kingdom in Matlock Bath, Gulliver's Land in Milton Keynes and Gullivers World in Warrington. The theme park will be aimed at families, and the resort will also include a water-park and accommodation in the form of glamping. Phase one of the attraction opened in 2020, which includes the main theme park. The site is set to be built in different phases over a ten–to-fifteen year period. References
Rotherham Bridge

Rotherham Bridge je kamenný obloukový most, který překlenuje řeku Don v centru Rotherhamu, South Yorkshire. Je znám svou mostní kaplí, která je považována za nejzachovalejší v Anglii. Dokument z roku 1385 se odkazuje na Bridgegate ve městě, což znamená, že předchozí most existoval na stejném místě. Silnice vedoucí mostem byla původně hlavní trasou z Londýna do Richmondu. Současný most byl postaven v roce 1483, kdy byla přidána kaple Panny Marie Rotherhamské. Je z pískovcových kvádrů, má čtyři oblouky a je postaven na třech pilířích, každý s návodní trojhrannou hranou. Mostní parapet má profilovanou římsou. John Leland, píšící kolem roku 1540, popsal „spravedlivý kamenný most z iiii oblouků“ a „dobře zpracovanou kamennou kapli“. Kaple byla zrušena v roce 1547 a přeměněna na nejprve chudobinec, poté městskou věznici a nakonec obchod. Most byl prodloužen v letech 1768–69 Johnem Plattem, pracujícím pro Johna Carra z Yorku, ale byl obnoven do původních rozměrů Reginaldem Blomfieldem v roce 1927, kdy byl vedle něj postaven most Chantry. Současně byla obnovena kaple. Další obnova byla provedena v roce 1975, kdy byly doplněno vitrážové okno. Most je zařazen do I. stupně památkové ochrany a je plánovanou starověkou památkou.

Rotherham Bridge

Rotherham Bridge crosses the River Don in central Rotherham, South Yorkshire. It is known for its bridge chapel, considered the best preserved in England. A document of 1385 refers to Bridgegate in the town, which implies that a previous bridge existed on the same site. The road it carries was originally the main route from London to Richmond. The current bridge was erected by 1483, when the Chapel of Our Lady of Rotherham Bridge was added. It is of ashlar sandstone and is built on three piers, each with a cutwater. John Leland, writing around 1540, described a "fair Stone Bridge of iiii arches" and "a Chapel of Stone well wrought". The chapel was dissolved in 1547 and converted into first an almshouse, then the town gaol and finally a shop. The bridge was altered in 1768–69 by John Platt, working for John Carr of York, but was restored to its original dimensions by Reginald Blomfield in 1927, when Chantry Bridge was built alongside. The chapel was restored at the same time. The bridge is Grade I listed and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Rotherham College

Rotherham College (formerly Rotherham College of Arts and Technology shortened to RCAT) is a further education college in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. It was established as Rotherham School of Science and Art in the 19th century. From the 1930s, it provided technical-orientated education from the Howard building on Eastwood Lane, Rotherham. In 1981, three neighbouring colleges of arts, technology and adult education were merged into one. As a result, the college became known as Rotherham College of Arts and Technology (RCAT). In August 2004, Rotherham College merged with the Dinnington-based further education provider, Rother Valley College. On 1 February 2016, Rotherham College merged with North Notts College to create a new education and training organisation, the RNN Group. The name, Rotherham College, was retained for the two campuses. On 1 February 2017, Dearne Valley College joined the RNN Group. Alongside the three colleges, the RNN Group also incorporates an apprenticeship business, RNN Training, and a number of subsidiary companies which cover a range of specialist training sectors. The RNN Group was criticised by OFSTED, for its poor oversight of subcontractors in 2018. Campuses Rotherham College has two campuses, Rotherham Town Centre campus (TCC) and Dinnington campus (DC). The Town Centre campus is situated on Eastwood Lane and the Dinnington campus on Doe Quarry Lane, Dinnington. The Town Centre campus contains four buildings, the Eastwood Building, the Wentworth Building and the Clifton building (the latter two of which are connected to each other), and the Construction Centre, which is on the other side of town near Rotherham Interchange, towards the Parkgate.

Rothley Court

Rothley Court is a country house at Rothley in Leicestershire, England. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book and later, as Rothley Temple, associated with the Knights Templar. At the Dissolution it became a private house and the seat of the Babington family; Thomas Babington Macaulay was born there in 1800. It now functions as the Rothley Court Hotel. The preceptory's chapel and part of the domestic buildings still exist. Rothley Court incorporates part of the preceptory that was converted for residential use in the 16th century. Much of what can be seen today is from substantial renovation and extension works conducted by John Ely of Manchester, between 1894 and 1895. In 1951, Rothley Court and chapel were protected as Grade I listed buildings. In 1988 Mike Gatting was sacked as England cricket captain after an alleged off-field indiscretion with a barmaid at the hotel.

West Ham Jewish Cemetery

West Ham Jewish Cemetery is a cemetery for Jews in West Ham in the London Borough of Newham, England. It was established in 1856 by the New Synagogue on Great St. Helen's, soon joined by the Great Synagogue in Duke's Place, both of them London congregations. It has been closed to new burials since 2002 There are a number of notable people buried here, in a graveyard visually dominated by the imposing Rothschild Mausoleum. One section contains graves removed to this burial place from the former Hoxton burial ground of the Hambro Synagogue when that site underwent urban redevelopment. The oldest legible tombstone in this section dates from 1794. Rothschild Mausoleum The Rothschild Mausoleum is circular, domed, mausoleum built in 1866 by Ferdinand James von Rothschild for his late wife Evelina de Rothschild who died in childbirth at age 27. The architect was Matthew Digby Wyatt. It is fashioned of marble in Renaissance revival style. Nikolaus Pevsner notes the "dome of Eighteenth-century detail on attached Corinthian columns" and praises the ironwork and stone carving, calling it worthy of "the attention of the student of mid-Victorian detail." Vandalism In 2005 a number of monuments were destroyed and graves desecrated in what the police described as an attack by anti-Semitic vandals. The doors of the mausoleum were pounded with heavy iron bars until they were bashed in, then they were torn from the building. Notable burials Evelina de Rothschild (1839–1866), socialite Ferdinand James von Rothschild (1839–1898) Sir David Salomons, 1st Baronet (1797–1873), a leading figure in the 19th-century struggle for Jewish emancipation in the United Kingdom.

Rougemont Castle

Rougemont Castle eller Exeter Castle er ruinen af en middelalderborg i byen Exeter i Devon i England. Den blev opført i det nordlige hjørne inden for de romerske bymure i eller kort efter 1068 som følge af Exeters oprør mod Vilhelm Erobreren. I 1136 blev den belejret i tre måender af kong Stefan. Der blev tilføjet en ydre bailey i 1100-tallet, hvoraf kun få dele er bevaret. Borgen nævnes i William Shakespeares skuespil Richard den Tredje i fordi kongen besøgte Exeter i 1483. Devons county-domstol lå her fra i hvert fald 1607, og der blev henrettet tre hekse her ved Exeter Assizes i 1682. Alle bygningerne inden for muene blev fjernet i 1770'erne for at gøre plads til et ny domhus, der blev udvidet med ekstra længer i 1895 og 1905. Da det blev brugt til domstol var interiøret ikke åbent for offentligheden, før domstolen flyttede i 2004. Hele området blev senere solgt til en ejendomsudvikler, hvis mål var at omdanne det til det sydvestlige Englands Covent Garden. Borgen har navn efter den røde sten, den er bygget på, og som blev brugt til opførelsen af de oprindelige bygninger. Den største tilbagevæernde del er et tidligt normannisk porttårn. Det er omgivet på tre sider af Rougemont Gardens og Northernhay Gardens, som er offentlige parker som drives af Exeter City Council.

Rougemont Gardens

Rougemont Gardens is an ornamental open space adjacent to Rougemont Castle in the city of Exeter, Devon, England. It is Grade II listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Originally part of the defences of the castle, it was converted into a garden in the late 18th century, and purchased by the city council in 1912. Boundaries The gardens are bounded on the north-west by the city wall with Northernhay Gardens beyond, and on the north-east by the castle wall with Athelstan's Tower at the junction of the two walls. The eastern boundary is at Castle Street with the early Norman gatehouse of the castle at the top and Rougemont House below. On the south the boundary is formed by Exeter City Central Library and on the south-east by the Phoenix Arts Centre and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. History The site was originally part of William the Conqueror's defences for Rougemont Castle during the Norman Conquest of England. When William ordered the construction of Rougemont Castle in 1068 a defensive ringwork was included which characterises the shape of gardens today. It has been noted that the ditch in the gardens seems to be much larger than the apparent need for defence; this could be because it may have been the site of the Roman quarry which provided the stone from which the original city walls were built. In around 1768, John Patch, a local surgeon, built Rougemont House just below the Norman gatehouse. He also set out gardens behind the house. Successive occupiers of the house made alterations to the house and gardens and by Victorian times the garden was being referred to as "a perfect sylvan retreat". Exeter City Council purchased Rougemont House in 1911 and the grounds of the house in the following year. For many years during the 20th century, Rougemont House—a Grade II* listed building—was open to the public as a museum, though it has since closed. The whole of the gardens, including the castle and city walls, Athelstan's Tower and the gatehouse are scheduled as a nationally important archaeological site, and are maintained as a public open space by the city council. Until 2009, they were used by the Northcott Theatre to stage Shakespearean plays in the summer—the city wall and defensive ditch forming a natural backdrop and amphitheatre for the performances.
