Iglesia de San Bartolomé (Burwash)

La Iglesia de San Bartolomé (en inglés, St Bartholomew's Church) es una iglesia parroquial anglicana dedicada a Bartolomé el Apóstol. Está situada en el pueblo de Burwash, Sussex Oriental, Inglaterra, Reino Unido.​​ Es un edificio catalogado como de Grado II*.​ La iglesia fue construida originalmente en 1090 durante la Era Normanda (en el medievo); sin embargo, solo la torre sobrevive de esta iglesia original. Está ubicada junto a la carretera A265. Edificio Solo la torre de gruesos muros sobrevive de la iglesia normanda original (construida en 1090), siendo evidente su origen por el gran grosor del mortero en el que están asentadas las piedras, lo cual se puede observar desde el exterior.​ La iglesia fue parcialmente reconstruida y extensamente restaurada en 1856; el presbiterio fue completamente renovado, aunque su arco del siglo XIII se conserva. Esta obra también incluyó el rebajado del suelo, lo cual, a su vez, hizo necesario retirar una considerable cantidad de tierra del cementerio que rodea la iglesia. Parte del suelo de la iglesia fue renovado nuevamente entre 1989 y 1990 debido al significativo deterioro de las antiguas tablas.​ En el pasillo sur, una losa funeraria de hierro fundido de principios del siglo XVI es la más antigua de Inglaterra, ya que Burwash era un centro de la industria del hierro de Weald.​​​​​​ Véase también Monumento clasificado (Reino Unido) Burwash Edad Media.

The Pepperpot

The Pepperpot is a historic building in the High Street in Godalming, a town in Surrey, in England. The building, which accommodates a meeting room on the first floor, is a Grade II listed building. History The town of Godalming was incorporated as a borough by a charter issued in 1575 from Elizabeth I. The first municipal building in Godalming was an 18th-century market hall in the High Street which was used to accommodate French prisoners following the capture of Belle Île in June 1761. After the old market hall became dilapidated, the borough officials decided to commission a new building. The current building was designed by John Perry in the neoclassical style, built in brick with a stucco finish at a cost of £865 and was completed in 1814. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing onto the High Street. It was arcaded on the ground floor, so that markets could be held, with an assembly room on the first floor. The end elevations were canted so as to give an octagonal shape. The first floor was fenestrated with sash windows although, at the rear, the windows were blind. At roof level there was a two-stage clock tower with clock faces in the first stage and a cupola for the second stage. The clock was manufactured by Richard Steadman. The warden and other officials of the borough, who had met in the room on the first floor, were replaced by elected officials in accordance with the Municipal Corporations Act 1835. The building soon proved too small for public meetings, and in 1861, a public hall was constructed on Bridge Street, which was later extended to form Godalming Borough Hall. Meanwhile, at the Pepperpot, a new cantilevered stair tower was added in the 1890s, and the room on the first floor was used to accommodate the Godalming Museum from 1921. The building was grade II listed in 1947. The museum remained on the first floor until 1987, when it moved to a larger building on the south side of the High Street. The room on the first floor subsequently served as a meeting room, while the ground floor continued to provide space for a greengrocer's stall twice a week. The architectural historian, Nikolaus Pevsner, described the Pepperpot as "an admirable public building for a small town", the horticulturalist, Gertrude Jekyll, described it as "the latest building in Godalming which has that precious quality of character", while the guidebook author, Oliver Mason, described it as a "much needed focal point" for the town.

St Mary's Church, Worksop

St Mary's Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England. It was built from 1838 to 1840 by Weightman and Hadfield in the Gothic Revival style. It is located on Park Street to the south of the town centre. It was paid for by Bernard Howard, 12th Duke of Norfolk after the sale of Worksop Manor and was once visited by Archduke Franz Ferdinand. It is a Grade II listed building. History Foundation After the Reformation, in the early eighteenth century, local Catholics in Worksop had to go a chapel in Worksop Manor to celebrate Mass. In 1743, it was recorded that the total number of Catholics in Worksop was 23. In 1748, a priest was resident there at Worksop Manor. Around 1780, Charles Howard, 10th Duke of Norfolk paid for a Catholic chapel and a presbytery in Sandhill Dyke. The building survives today as Park Farm. Construction In 1838, Bernard Howard, 12th Duke of Norfolk sold Worksop Manor to Henry Pelham-Clinton, 6th Duke of Newcastle for £375,000. That year he paid for the construction of the current church and presbytery. On 29 October 1838, the foundation stone was laid by Michael Ellison, the duke's agent and uncle of Matthew Ellison Hadfield, one the church's architect, the other being John Grey Weightman. On 26 February 1840, the church was opened by Bishop Thomas Walsh, the Vicar Apostolic of the Midland District. The church was designed in the Gothic Revival style. Developments In 1870, Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk paid for the church to be improved and added a new sacristy, confessional and heating system. The architect of the improvements was again Matthew Ellison Hadfield. In late 1913, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg were invited to stay at nearby Welbeck Abbey for a week by William Cavendish-Bentinck, 6th Duke of Portland and attended Mass in the church. On 24 March 1926, the church was consecrated. In 2012, the National Lottery Heritage Fund gave £110,000 to the church for repairs. Parish In 2007, the parish was merged with nearby St Joseph's Church in Worksop. It is now the parish of St Jude and includes St Mary's Church, St Joseph's Church and St Helen's Church in Oldcotes. St Mary's Church has one Sunday Mass at 11:00am. St Joseph's Church has one Sunday Mass at 6:00pm on Saturday and St Helen's Church in Oldcotes has one Sunday Mass at 9:00am.

St John the Evangelist Church, Banbury

St John the Evangelist Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. It was built from 1835 to 1838 in the Gothic Revival style with parts of it designed by Augustus Pugin. It is located on the corner of South Bar Street and Dashwood Road south of the town centre. It is a Grade II listed building. History Foundation After the Reformation, Catholics could go to a chapel in Warkworth Castle to celebrate Mass. It was home to the Holman family and then the Eyre family. In 1806, the castle was demolished and a chapel was built in Overthorpe, Northamptonshire. In 1828, a mission was started in Banbury by the priest at Overthorpe, Abbé Pierre Hersent. Construction Abbé Pierre Hersent bought the site of the current church, the old Calthorpe Manor House. He died in 1833, and the church was built by his successors, Fr Joseph Fox and Dr William Tandy. Building lasted from 1835 to 1838. The church was designed by Oxford-based architects, Charles Randall Hickman and John Macduff Derick. Derick also designed Holy Trinity Church, Chipping Norton. John Talbot, 16th Earl of Shrewsbury provided the stone for the construction of the church, the organ, and the tower clock, originally made by W. Allam of London in 1762. In 1839, Dr William Tandy paid Augustus Pugin to design the presbytery, chancel and its fittings, and stained glass. Developments In 1847, Dr William Tandy invited the Sisters of Saint Paul of Chartres to create a community in Banbury, buying St John's Priory for them. The community became the motherhouse of the sisters in the UK until it moved to St Paul's Convent in Selly Park. In 1933, the original tower clock was replaced. In June 1938, a refurbishment was completed, with statues added to the church designed by Richard Lockwood Boulton. Parish St John the Evangelist Church is its own parish and works with the nearby parish of St Joseph the Worker Church in Bretch Hill and St Thomas of Canterbury Church in Wroxton. St John the Evangelist Church has three Sunday Masses at 4:00pm on Saturday and at 8:45am and 11:15am on Sunday. St Joseph the Worker Church also has three Sunday Masses at 6:00pm on Saturday and at 10:00am and 5:30pm on Sunday.

Mesopotamia, Oxford

Mesopotamia is a narrow ait, or river island, situated in the River Cherwell within the University Parks in the English city of Oxford. The island extends approximately 800 yards (730 m) in length and 30 yards (27 m) in width. It is positioned between two branches of the Cherwell, which flow at different levels; the higher of these was formerly the mill stream serving Kings Mill. A footpath, Mesopotamia Walk, runs along the island from Parson's Pleasure to Kings Mill, providing part of a pedestrian link between the city centre and Marston Road. The Domesday Book records the existence of a watermill on the site now occupied by Kings Mill, indicating the site's historical significance since at least the 11th century. The present structure dates from the late 18th century, and milling operations continued there until 1825. The exact date of construction of the mill stream — which led to the formation of Mesopotamia — is unknown. The mill building is constructed of rubble stone with dressed quoins, and comprises two storeys and an attic. Now a Grade II listed structure, it has been converted into a private residence. Although the mill wheel is no longer extant, sluices remain visible in the former mill race. The island was purchased by the University of Oxford during the expansion of the Oxford University Parks between 1860 and 1865. Mesopotamia Walk was laid out in 1865; the name Mesopotamia is derived from the Greek for "between rivers", a reference shared with the historic region located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in present-day Iraq. Until 1926, a ferry operated from a point halfway along the walk, when it was replaced by a footbridge. See also Addison's Walk, Oxford Dead Man's Walk, Oxford References
St Peter's Church, Wolvercote

St Peter’s Church, Wolvercote is the Church of England parish church serving Wolvercote, Oxfordshire, within the Diocese of Oxford. It is designated as a Grade II listed building. History A chapel of ease at Wolvercote, dependent on the church of St Peter-in-the-East in Oxford, is first recorded in 1236, although architectural evidence - notably the surviving Norman tub font - suggests that a church existed on the site by the late 12th century. In 1482 the chancel was rebuilt under the patronage of Merton College; it is possible a new nave was constructed at the same time, but only the tower survives from that period. The medieval church, with the exception of the west tower, was demolished in 1859. In 1860 a new nave, chancel, north aisle (with mortuary chapel), and south porch were constructed in the Decorated Gothic Revival style by Charles Buckeridge, built on the medieval foundations. Architecture and fittings The west tower survives from the medieval church. It is of two stages, with an embattled parapet, and is believed to date from the 14th century. Positioned below the tower, is an early baptismal tub font with simple geometric decoration. Although sometimes described as Saxon, it is more likely Norman in date. A mortuary chapel in the north east corner of the nave houses the elaborate tomb of Sir John Walter of Godstow (d. c. 1630), with recumbent effigies of Walter and his two wives, and figures of three sons and three daughters kneeling at their heads and feet. The monument’s canopy was destroyed during the Civil War, and it was re-erected in its current form during the 1860 rebuild, utilising a reused 13th century arch to mimic the lost canopy. The tower includes two sundials with the motto Redeem the Time. Although the dial faces and motto are modern replacements (1995), they echo earlier dials on the tower. The East window in the chancel dates to 1882 and consists of five lights that together portray the great events of Christianity. In the north light is the Nativity; the three centre lights depict the Crucifixion; in the south light is the Resurrection. At the apex of the window is the Ascended Christ throned in Glory. In the south aisle is a two-light “Palm Sunday” window designed by John Piper and made by Patrick Reyntiens. It depicts a multitude of children's hands holding the palms that greeted Jesus on his entry into Jerusalem, all depicted in vivid blue, gold and green tones. It was installed in 1976 following a bequest made by Alderman Bellamy and his wife who left £1,000 for a memorial window relating to the Biblical text "suffer the little children to come unto me" (Mark 10:14).

Carfax Tower

Der Carfax Tower in Oxford wurde als Turm der St. Martin's Church um 1032 errichtet. Während die 1818 umgebaute Kirche 1896 einer Straßenverbreiterung weichen musste, blieb der Turm als einziges Relikt stehen. Er hat eine Uhr aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, bei der prächtige Figuren in römischen Uniformen die Viertelstunde schlagen, die daher Quarter Boys genannt werden. Benannt ist der Turm nach der in unmittelbarer Nähe gelegenen Straßenkreuzung Carfax, an der die vier Hauptstraßen von Oxford, St Aldate’s, Cornmarket Street, Queen Street und High Street zusammentreffen und die als Mittelpunkt der Stadt gilt. Der Name leitet sich über die französische Form Quatervois vom lateinischen quadrifurcus ab, was so viel wie vier Wege, d. h. Kreuzung bedeutet (vgl. französisch carrefour). Die Kreuzung spielt im Disziplinarrecht der Universität traditionell eine Rolle bei der Berechnung von Entfernungsangaben; beispielsweise ist es den Studenten bis heute vorgeschrieben, dass sie, je nach Status (und vorbehaltlich etwaiger Ausnahmen), während der Vorlesungszeit im Umkreis von sechs bzw. 25 Meilen um Carfax wohnen müssen.

Corn Exchange, Wallingford

The Corn Exchange is a commercial building in the Market Place, Wallingford, Oxfordshire, England. The structure, which is used as a theatre, is a Grade II listed building. History Until the mid-19th century, corn merchants traded from the ground floor of Wallingford Town Hall. In the early 1850s, a group of local businessmen decided to form a company, to be known as the "Wallingford Corn Exchange Company", to finance and commission a purpose-built corn exchange for the town. The site they selected was on the east side of the Market Place. The new building was designed in the Italianate style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1856. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto the Market Place. The central bay featured a round headed doorway with a carved tympanum, a canted surround, an architrave and a keystone with a carved mask. The doorway was flanked by Corinthian order pilasters supporting an entablature, while the outer bays were fenestrated by paired round headed sash windows. There were oculi in the spandrels above the outer bay windows and there were rusticated Doric order pilasters at the corners of the building. At roof level, there was a large pediment containing a clock. The iron arches supporting the roof of the building were cast at the Wilders Foundry on Goldsmiths Lane. The building was also used for public events: speakers included the former Virginia slave and anti-slavery campaigner, Henry Box Brown, who visited the building in May 1859. The use of the building as a corn exchange declined significantly in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century. It was used as a cinema during the First World War and during the inter-war years. After the Second World War, it was used by the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance as a food and unemployment office, before falling into disuse. In 1975, the building was acquired by the local amateur dramatic society, the Sinodun Players, whose president had been Dame Agatha Christie from 1951 until her death in 1976. Following the completion of a major programme of refurbishment works, the building was re-opened as a theatre by Sir Peter Hall in 1978. It was subsequently extended at the rear such that it stretched back to Wood Street. The building was used to depict the "Causton Playhouse" in the crime drama series, Midsomer Murders, during filming of the first series in 1998. The corn exchange and Sinodun Players were awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in 2020. See also Corn exchanges in England References

Chatham House

Chatham House, officieel het Royal Institute of International Affairs, is een niet-gouvernementele non-profitorganisatie in Londen met als missie het bestuderen van belangrijke internationale vraagstukken. Het wordt gezien als een van 's werelds meest prominente denktanks op dit gebied. Om de vrije discussie over gevoelige onderwerpen tijdens vertrouwelijke bijeenkomsten te bevorderen werd in 1927 de zogenaamde Chatham House Rule ontworpen, opdat de anonimiteit van de sprekers zou worden bewaard. Huis De naam komt van het 18e-eeuwse huis aan St. James's Square, ontworpen door Henry Flitcroft en ooit bewoond door drie Britse premiers, onder wie William Pitt, 1ste graaf van Chatham.

Chatham House

Chatham House (nazwa oficjalna: Royal Institute of International Affairs, Królewski Instytut Spraw Międzynarodowych) – najważniejszy brytyjski i jeden z ważniejszych na świecie think tanków zajmujących się badaniem stosunków międzynarodowych. Instytut powstał w 1920, zaś jego siedzibą od początku jest gmach Chatham House przy St James's Square w okolicy Pałacu Buckingham w Londynie. Przez lata nazwa budynku stawała się synonimem nazwy organizacji, do tego stopnia, iż w 2004 roku postanowiono, że tradycyjna nazwa pozostanie w użytku jedynie dla celów formalnych, natomiast wszystkie publikacje, prace Instytutu i wypowiedzi medialne jego ekspertów sygnowane będą nazwą Chatham House. Chatham House wydaje dwa czasopisma: International Affairs oraz The World Today. To pierwsze jest jednym z najważniejszych ukazujących się w Wielkiej Brytanii periodyków naukowych w dziedzinie stosunków międzynarodowych. Mniej obszerne publikacje, przede wszystkim różnego rodzaju raporty, dostępne są bezpłatnie w Internecie. Zobacz też Reguła Chatham House Linki zewnętrzne Strona oficjalna
