St James Mill

St James Mill is an English Industrial Revolution mill in Norwich. It was built between 1836 and 1839 as part of an attempt by the Norwich Yarn Company (established 1833 by Samuel Bignold) to prevent the collapse of the local textile trade. The architect was John Brown. The site was occupied by the White Friars (Carmelites) in the 13th century, and an original arch and undercroft survive. When the local textile trade went into further decline, St James Mill was bought by Jarrold & Sons Ltd for use by its printing department in 1902. The building was subsequently leased to Caley's, the chocolate manufacturer, and sold to the government as a training factory for war veterans in 1920. Jarrolds bought back the mill in 1933 and today it is a private office complex. Among the organisations based there are Virgin Wines and Norfolk Community Foundation. The mill is part of the Norwich 12. References External links The John Jarrold Printing Museum a small museum has now moved to Blickling Hall.
St John’s, Smith Square

St John’s, Smith Square ist eine ehemalige anglikanische Kirche im Londoner Stadtteil Westminster. Erbaut wurde die Kirche 1714 bis 1728 im Stil des englischen Barockklassizismus durch den Architekten Thomas Archer im Rahmen eines 1711 vom britischen Parlament verabschiedeten Kirchenbauprogramms von Fünfzig Neuen Kirchen. Den Baugrund stellte der Grundeigentümer Henry Smith zur Verfügung, nach dem auch der zugehörige Platz benannt ist. Mit Baukosten von über 40.000 £ sollte es die kostspieligste der Kirchenneubauten in diesem Programm werden, da sich bereits nach Baubeginn statische Probleme hinsichtlich der Fundierung ergaben. Die Bauleitung hatte Nicholas Hawksmoor inne, der nicht autorisierte Änderungen am Entwurf vornahm. Die Kirche wurde im Zweiten Weltkrieg 1941 ausgebombt, der Innenraum wurde 1965 bis 1968 innerhalb der bestehenden Umfassungsmauern zu einem Konzertsaal ausgebaut. Unter den Kirchenbauten des Programms repräsentiert St John’s die eigenwilligste Lösung. Der Außenbau ist kreuzförmig mit seitlichen Portikusvorbauten und vier Treppentürmen zu den Emporen sowie ausgerundeten Gebäudekanten angelegt. Die von Säulen umstellten Turmaufbauten über kreisförmigem Grundriss geben beim gleichzeitigen Fehlen eines Kirchturms der Außenerscheinung eine lebhafte, an den römischen Barock erinnernde Silhouette. Die mit dorischen Säulen versehenen Vorhallen besitzen in barocker Manier gebrochene Dreiecksgiebel. Das Kircheninnere war in seiner ursprünglichen Form über zwölf korinthischen Säulen dem Außenbau entsprechend kreuzförmig angelegt, wurde aber nach einem Brand 1742 zu einem längsgerichteten Saal mit seitlichen Emporen verändert.

Smith Square Hall

La Smith Square Hall (precedentemente St John's Smith Square) è una sala da concerto situata al centro di Smith Square, nel quartiere di Westminster, a Londra. La sua attuale denominazione venne adottata nel 2024 dall'associazione musicale proprietaria dell'edificio, la Sinfonia Smith Square. Originariamente era la Chiesa di Saint John, progettata da Thomas Archer nel XVIII secolo e completata nel 1728. Classificata come monumento di grado I e considerata come una delle più belle opere di architettura del barocco inglese, dispone di quattro torri angolari e frontoni spezzati monumentali. È spesso definita come "lo sgabello della regina Anna" perché, come narra la leggenda, quando Archer stava progettando la chiesa chiese alla regina a cosa le sarebbe piaciuto potesse assomigliare. La regina prese a calci il suo poggiapiedi e disse: "Come questo!", dando vita all'idea delle quattro torri angolari dell'edificio. Caduta in rovina a metà del XX secolo a causa della sua distruzione il 10 maggio 1941, dovuta ai bombardamenti tedeschi sul Regno Unito durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, negli anni 1960 venne venduta a un trust di beneficenza, sconsacrata nel 1964 e restaurata nel 1969, cambiandone destinazione d'uso a sala da concerto.

St John's Church, Dudley

The Church of St John the Evangelist, also known as St John's, is a Church of England church, in the Kates Hill area of Dudley, England. It opened in 1840 and closed in 2002 on safety grounds. The church reopened in 2016. It was Grade II listed by English Heritage on 21 May 2009. History Two churches were built in Dudley at the same time and to similar designs by William Bourne; St John's and St James's, at Eve Hill. It was built when Kates Hill was still a relatively rural area, although it was soon a dense residential area following the construction of houses occupied by workers employed in local industry during the Industrial Revolution. The area became even more built up during the 1920s and 1930s when council housing was built nearby. In the years after the church's closure, "St John's Church Preservation Group", whose patron is local historian Professor Carl Chinn, campaigned for the church to be repaired and reopened. The St John's Church Preservation Group became leaseholders of the church on 27 July 2016, and in August it was opened to the public for the first time since 2002. It was announced that the church would be open daily from 12 September 2016, so that visitors can see the restoration work take place. On 27 July 2018, the first service in the church in 15 years was held, led by the Rector of Dudley, Rev Robert Barlow. Graveyard The church's graveyard is the burial place of the boxer William Perry, known as 'The Tipton Slasher', who was champion of England, 1850–5; also of Marion Richardson (1892–1946), educator and author of books on penmanship and handwriting.
