New St Leonard's Church, Langho

New St Leonard's Church is in Whalley New Road, between the villages of Langho and Billington in Lancashire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Whalley, the archdeaconry of Blackburn, and the diocese of Blackburn. History The church was built in 1878–80 at a cost of £4,350 (equivalent to £480,000 in 2025). It was designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, and provided seating for 346 people. It was built to replace Old St Leonard's Church that was sited 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north. After the old church was built, the population had grown and become more concentrated around the railway to the south of the old church. The old church is now redundant, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, although occasional services are still held. Architecture The plan of the church consists of a nave with a south aisle, and a chancel with a vestry to the north. At the west end is a slated bellcote. Under the east window is flushwork. Inside the church, between the nave and the aisle, is a four-bay arcade carried on clustered piers. The stained glass was made by Abbott and Company in 1935. The two-manual organ was built in 1882 by John Laycock of Keighley, and has since been overhauled by J. W. Walker. See also List of ecclesiastical works by Paley and Austin References
New Vic Theatre

The New Vic Theatre is a purpose-built theatre in the round in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. The theatre opened in 1986, replacing a converted cinema, the Victoria Theatre in Hartshill, Stoke-on-Trent. History In the early 1960s, Stephen Joseph was searching for a permanent base for his Studio Theatre company which specialised in theatrical productions in the round. He found it in a disused cinema in Hartshill which was converted for theatrical use and opened as a playhouse on 9 October 1962. The first resident director was Peter Cheeseman who remained in control for 36 years, bar a period in 1967–68 when he was temporarily replaced by the management. The company soon established a reputation for innovative productions of both new and classic works. A particular focus was on plays with a local subject, such as The Knotty, about the North Staffordshire Railway, The Fight for Shelton Bar, about the closure of a local steelworks, and Jolly Potters. The first production of a play by Peter Terson took place there in 1964; he was writer in residence for 18 months and wrote 22 plays for the Victoria. As well as drama, the venue was also used for classical and other music. The square layout of the performance area and audience created an excellent acoustic for chamber music. The Lindsay String Quartet performed there regularly in the 1970s. By 1985, over 280 productions had been staged. The need had been felt for a larger, purpose-built building from the very start, and this was created in nearby Newcastle-under-Lyme and opened its doors in 1986 after many years of fundraising, negotiation with local councils and construction. The new venue took the name The New Victoria Theatre, often abbreviated to "New Vic", and this shortened name was formally adopted later. Whereas the old theatre had a seating capacity of 389, the main auditorium in the new theatre has a capacity of just over 600, with the audience surrounding a central stage as before. The musical acoustics are good and the Lindsay String Quartet performed there regularly, as they had done at the old theatre. The New Vic continues to keep close to its Potteries roots. One of the plays in its re-opening season was by local playwright Arthur Berry. In 2023, the theatre showed a production of Arnold Bennett's The Card, whose Artistic Director was Conrad Nelson, (who had earlier premiered the play with the Claybody Theatre in Fenton, one of Stoke-on-Trent's six towns). In 1998, Peter Cheeseman retired as Artistic Director, and was succeeded by Gwenda Hughes. In 2007, she was succeeded by current Artistic Director, Theresa Heskins.

New Wine Church

New Wine Church (also known as Gateway House) is a non-denominational Christian megachurch in Southeast London. The church originally met in a leased facility. They then purchased and renovated one of four cinemas in Woolwich. The 3,000-member church occupies the former Coronet cinema complex and overlooks the Woolwich Ferry. History of the building The cinema was opened as the Odeon Theatre on 25 October 1937 with Ralph Reader in The Gang Show. It was designed for the Oscar Deutsch chain of Odeon Cinemas by architect George Coles who came up with a streamlined Art Deco style. Inside the auditorium, there were troughs of concealed lighting and a moulded plaster decoration on the splay walls in the form of a floral frieze which had backlighting. Seating was provided for 1,178 in the stalls and 650 in the balcony. It was modernised internally in May 1964, a process known as the Rank Organisation's "zing" treatment. It continued as the Odeon until closing on 17 October 1981. Independent film exhibitors Panton Films took over the building from 14 July 1983 and it reopened as the Coronet Cinema with Return of the Jedi. It was converted into a twin cinema from 6 July 1990 with seating for 678 in the former balcony and 360 seats in the former rear stalls. The Coronet was closed on 6 June 1999. It was taken over by the New Wine Church from 2001 and the building is now known as 'Gateway House' which continues in church use today. The New Wine Church has made a number of alterations and renovations to the building. The building is a Grade II Listed Building and is currently used for (and is available for) weddings, music concerts, conferences, exercise classes and business meetings. Global ministry The church, with the assistance of its affiliate, New Wine Covenant Partners, has taken part in missionary activities in Australia, the Netherlands, India, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Malaysia, Nigeria, Norway, South Africa, Tanzania and the United States. Internationally, New Wine has built a housing estate of 55 homes for over 100 lepers in Chennai India. The estate also benefits from a full-time nurse, electricity, clean water, food and a chaplaincy. The Church also funds a water project in Zambia, providing boreholes for 10 villages. They run an Operation Christmas child campaign which provides shoeboxes filled with gifts for Eastern European children. Previous senior pastors and borough deans Tayo Adeyemi (1993–2013) and Michael Olawore (2013–2018) were previous senior pastors of the church. One of the seven Ecumenical Borough Deans in Greenwich was Olu Ajanaku, formerly a minister at New Wine Church; he represented the black majority churches. EBDs are representatives of Christian churches to local government in London. David Chick took over this role in January 2015, representing black-led churches.

Newall Green High School

Newall Green High School was an Academy in Wythenshawe, Manchester, England. In 2015 Newall Green High School became an Academy as part of the CHS Multi Academy Trust(MAT) - a partnership between the school, Chorlton High School and Loreto High School in Chorlton-cum-Hardy. Demographics Newall Green High School once enrolled 996 students, including 105 students in the sixth form which opened in September 2009. Specialisms The school was designated as an arts college in 2000, a science with mathematics college in 2004, and a vocational college in 2006, and has received the Healthy Schools Award (Gold), Investors in People status, Inclusion Charter Mark, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Kite Mark, and the Leading Aspect Award for its collaboration with primary schools. Structure SMILE In 2010, Newall Green High School joined the South Manchester Inclusive Learning Enterprise (SMILE) trust, along with three feeder schools - Newall Green Primary School, Benchill Primary School, and Baguley Hall Primary School. As a result, former headteacher Neil Wilson was promoted to Executive Headteacher, and was succeeded in his previous position by Alison Wright in 2012. Wright had previously acted as interim headteacher between 2010 and 2012. Wilson retired as Executive Headteacher in 2013, leaving this position vacant. STRIVE In January 2015, the school began an initiative focused re-branding based upon six core learning values, known as Strive. Seeking to promote Success, Tolerance, Respect, Independence, Vision, and Excellence, the school not only positioned the Strive logo throughout its buildings, but also began branding its exercise books. Similarly, the six forms per year were renamed S, T, R, I, V, and E, respectively. Academy Cooperative In April 2015, the school also joined a multi-academy trust sponsored by Chorlton High School in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, thus attaining Academy status. Alison Wright initially remained headteacher of Newall Green High School (later replaced by Kyra Jones), whilst Andrew Park was appointed Executive Headteacher. The school was supervised directly by the CHS Trust Board, with Jenny Andrews chairing the Newall Green subdivision. The institute maintained autonomy over its own finance and scrutiny committees. Closure In February 2020 it was confirmed that the school would be closing in August 2021 due to falling student numbers. References
Newark Air Museum

Newark Air Museum is an air museum located on a former Royal Air Force station at Winthorpe, near Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire, England. The museum contains a variety of aircraft. History The airfield was known as RAF Winthorpe during the Second World War, opening in September 1940. From 1942 to 1944, it housed No. 1661 Heavy Conversion Unit, training Avro Lancaster crews, in No. 5 Group with around thirty planes. In 1944 it joined No. 7 Group, still within Bomber Command. In 1945 it transferred to Transport Command. The following units were posted at RAF Winthorp at some point: No. 54 Maintenance Unit. No. 61 Maintenance Unit. No. 1331 Heavy Transport Conversion Unit. No. 1333 (Transport Support) Conversion Unit which became No. 1333 (Transport Support) Training Unit RAF. Central Servicing Development Establishment RAF. In 1964, 200 acres (0.81 km2) of the former airfield were purchased by the Newark and Nottinghamshire Agricultural Society, who have since held the Newark and Nottinghamshire County Show. A limited company called Newark (Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire) Air Museum was formed in 1968. The museum officially opened on 14 April 1973. In 1990, the museum opened its first exhibition hall. This was followed by the purchase of an additional 12.38 acres (0.0501 km2) of land that became known as the Southfield Site. A second display hall was opened on this property in 2004. The museum purchased the land on which it sits by early June 2026. Collection Events The Air Museum has, for the past few years, hosted the annual Cockpitfest. This popular event calls on enthusiasts and 'cockpitters' alike to bring their memorabilia for others to see and, in the case of cockpits, get inside. The Cockpitfest celebrated its 10th anniversary in June 2009.

Newark Priory

Newark Priory is a ruined priory on an island surrounded by the River Wey and its former leat (the Abbey Stream) near the boundary of the village (parish lands) of Ripley and Pyrford in Surrey, England. History Newark Priory was, before its reconstruction, run by the Canons Regular of St Augustine and the register of Bishop Woodlock (1312) states that the priory was first founded by a Bishop of Winchester. The Priory was granted substantial lands "to the canons there serving God" in the late 12th Century by Rauld de Calva and his wife Beatrice de Sandes for the Augustinian canons "to build a church" when Richard I reigned (1189–99) so according with its Early English Gothic architecture, the present priory dates to then. It was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Saint Thomas Becket in contemporary documents "Thomas the Martyr" and originally, the land where the church was built was called Aldbury. This gradually changed its name from Aldbury to Newark or the New Place (novo loco) of St Thomas near Guildford, at one point being called Newstead. The taxation roll of 1291 shows considerable non-ecclesiastic assets (temporalities). The priory held tenements or rents in ten London parishes, producing an income of £5 16s 3d; in the wider Diocese of London; in the Diocese of Rochester £1 6s was produced annually; and in Diocese of Winchester income of £27 10s 3½d. During Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries Newark Priory was dissolved. The prior himself was pensioned off, all valuables sent to the Tower of London and the land given to the Master of the King's Horse. It has been said that a cannon was employed from the top of Church Hill to bombard or demolish what were the then extensive buildings. This incident is portrayed in one of a series of paintings made by artist Tessa Kewen. The last known prior of Newark Priory was Richard Lipscombe, appointed just before the surrender of the establishment and lands in 1538. The building, falling into ruin, was said to have been further destroyed by locals using the stones for road mending until Lord Onslow, the owner in the 1730s, decided to preserve what remained. Today Newark Priory still exists as ruins today and is a scheduled monument and a Grade I listed building. It was placed upon the English Heritage Register of Buildings at risk, established in 2007. It is located upon private land so is unable to be reached at closer proximity than the Wey path by Newark Lock and Newark Mill. Its island of a few acres is a meadow crossed at its end by Newark Lane between Pyrford and Ripley. A dawn service is held each year on Easter Day at 6am in the ruins, run by churches from the surrounding towns including Byfleet, West Byfleet, Pyrford and Ripley.
