Otterton Mill

Otterton Water Mill is at the village of Otterton, near Budleigh Salterton in Devon, England. Otterton Water Mill is set beside the River Otter in Devon. A watermill was recorded in this locality in Domesday Book in 1086. The mill possessed three pairs of stones. The manor and its mill were given by King Henry V to the nuns of Syon Abbey. At the Dissolution the manor was sold to Richard Duke, in whose family's possession the mill remained for 200 years. Sold again in 1785 to Denys Rolle, the estate and the mill subsequently passed through marriage to the Clinton family, who still own the mill as part of the Clinton Devon Estates. Milling stopped in 1959 and the buildings were subsequently used for grain storage. The watermill was restored in 1977 by Desna Greenhow, and has been operated again since, remaining functional today. Beside the mill is a bakery, a shop, a restaurant and a gallery of art and crafts. The mill hosts a yearly event with a "Portable Antiquities team" to examine archaeological finds made in the area. See also List of oldest companies References External links Official website
Oulder Hill Leadership Academy

Oulder Hill Leadership Academy (formerly Oulder Hill Community School) is a co-educational secondary school for 11 to 16 year olds, located in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. History The school fully opened to students aged 13–16 in 1977 under the leadership of its first head, Dr Morris. At that time, it was the largest school in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, with over 1000 students. The school's facilities included the Gracie Fields theatre, a 25-metre swimming pool, tennis courts, and fields for football and rugby. In 2003, the school merged with Rydings Special School, a local school for children with disabilities. The merger prompted a reconstruction of the school, which began in 2005 and was completed in 2008. This involved the redevelopment of the current site and constructing a new building on the former playing fields and tennis courts. The Oulder Hill School building remained with the same name, while Rydings Special School was rebranded as Redwood Secondary school. The building is now owned by OPERON, and the school pays £1 million annually to rent the facilities from 6 am to 6 pm. Once a thriving part of the school, Oulder Hill's sixth form began to decline from the year 2000 onwards. The sixth form closed to new students when Rochdale Sixth Form College opened in September 2010. At the time of its closure, the sixth form had approximately 150 students, a decline from the over 600 students it had when first established. Previously a community school administered by Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council, Oulder Hill Community School converted to academy status in March 2022 and was renamed Oulder Hill Leadership Academy due to having an inadequate rating in Ofsted. It is now sponsored by Star Academies. It is currently a Good school.

Oulton Hall

Oulton Hall in Oulton, West Yorkshire, is a Grade II listed building in England. It was once the home of the Blayds/Calverley family. After a major fire in 1850 the hall was remodelled, but its fortunes declined until it was revived for use as a hotel. As of 2022, it is a 4 star hotel, part of the QHotels group as Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort. History Oulton Hall was originally a "modest eighteenth-century house" owned by the Blayds family. In 1807 the house was left to John Calverley, who was a partner in Beckett's Bank and Mayor of Leeds in 1798. He changed his name to Blayds in order to inherit the property, but his descendants reverted to Calverley. He enclosed the surrounding common in 1809, and it was landscaped to designs by Humphrey Repton soon afterwards. In around 1822, he commissioned Sir Robert Smirke to remodel the house, and it was enlarged by Smirke's brother, Sydney, in 1839. In 1850 a fire destroyed much of the property, including most of the Smirkes' work. The Leeds firm of Perkin and Backhouse rebuilt the hall, and further work was done in 1875 by Perkin and Sons and in 1885 by Chorley and Cannon of Leeds. The hall had various uses during the 20th century. In the First World War it was used as a hospital and convalescent home for soldiers diagnosed with neurasthenia. The hall opened as a hospital in July 1918 under the command of Colonel C. W. E. Duncombe to provide care for officers with shell shock. Fifty officers were admitted in 1918, with seventy-one beds available in total. Treatment was focused on confidential talks with the doctor, occupational therapy and a focus on learning, poetry and gardening. The Leeds Education Committee allowed patients to attend classes in the city free of charge. Trips out were organised, with patients travelling to Ilkley, in 1923. The hospital closed in July 1925 and the patients were transferred to Grantham. This decision was unpopular in the press, as it took soldiers much further away from their families and left the North of England without a specialist treatment centre for psychological wounds inflicted by experiences in the First World War. In 1925 the owners sold the hall and grounds to the county council. It was used as a hospital for psychiatric patients until 1971. Oulton Hall then changed hands, but due to the new owner's lack of resources it fell into disrepair, and in 1974 it was derelict. In 1991 De Vere Hotels acquired the lease and rescued it. Restoration and expansion cost £20 million to turn the hall into a hotel set in an estate of 300 acres (1.2 km2), with gardens, a 27-hole golf course and a spa.

Our Lady's Catholic High School, Fulwood

Our Lady's Catholic High School is a Roman Catholic secondary school, situated in Fulwood, a suburb in the city of Preston in Lancashire, England. It is located close to the affiliated St Anthony's Church and St Anthony's RC Primary School. The current headteacher is Richard Charnock. History Our Lady's was founded as a result of a merger between two schools: St Edmund Campion School and St Cuthbert Mayne High School (known as Blessed Cuthbert Mayne High before Cuthbert Mayne was canonised). While in the school's early years, both campuses were used, the school is now based at the original St Cuthbert Mayne site in Fulwood. In 2004 Our Lady's became a Mathematics and Computing School, and in 2014 it became the lead-school of the Catholic Teaching Alliance, an association of over 50 Catholic schools. In January 2018, Our Lady's underwent a Section 48 Inspection by the Diocese of Lancaster Education Service. The school received scores of 1 for both Religious Education and Catholic Life, indicating an outstanding result. In September 2022, Our Lady's was rated Good in all areas by Ofsted. In 2023, the school was one of those identified as having buildings that could be structurally unsound because reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete had been used in their construction.

Our Lady's Catholic High School, Stamford Hill

Our Lady's Catholic High School is a Roman Catholic secondary school for girls situated in Stamford Hill, in the London Borough of Hackney, England. History On 11 January 1904, the Servite Sisters founded a small independent school called Our Lady's School, with Sr M. Phillipa as its first headmistress. The school later moved to 14-16 Amhurst Park during the 1930s. There were 27 pupils aged 10 and over; all the staff were Servite sisters; parents paid fees of £2/10/00 per term. The rooms in the house built in the 1800s were used as classrooms. There was a grass tennis court in the garden. The school has since expanded and the premises consist of the original buildings and newer additions (the most recent in 2003). The first lay headteacher, only the sixth in the school's history, was appointed in 1994. Our Lady's is no longer directly run by the Servites but remains under their trusteeship. Current structure Our Lady's is a Voluntary Aided Roman Catholic School, which has been awarded Specialist Status as a Language College. Permission to expand by one form of entry has meant that the school's total number is currently 780 students. The Sixth Form Centre admits boys and girls and has currently 180 students. In 2010, the school became a split site, since as part of the Building Schools for Future (BSF), the school was to be completely remodelled and rebuilt. The lower school (years 7 and 8) remained at the old site in Stamford Hill. The upper school (years 9, 10, 11 plus sixth form) moved to Upper Clapton, occupying a building put up for the lower school of The Skinners' Company's School for Girls. The rebuilding of the school was finished in 2012. The School came together back on one site in September 2012. Andy English became head in March 2022. Ofsted visited in March 2022 and reaffirmed the school's rating as 'Good'. Departments of the school There are 19 departments in the school.

Our Lady of Loreto & St Winefride Catholic Church, Kew

Our Lady of Loreto & St Winefride Catholic Church, Kew is the parish church for the Roman Catholic parish of Kew Gardens in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The church is located at 1 Leyborne Park in Kew. History and description The Society of Mary first established a Catholic mission in a temporary chapel at 14 Kew Gardens Road, which opened for public worship on 26 October 1898 with Father Michael Cummins as the first parish priest, and was named Loreto House. The Society of Mary continued to serve the parish until 1984. The church is dedicated to both Our Lady of Loreto and Saint Winefride. The founder of the Society of Mary had made a pilgrimage to the Loreto shrine in Italy in 1833 after asking for the Pope's approval to establish the society; and Saint Winefride was the favourite saint of one of this church's principal local benefactors, Miss Frances Elizabeth Ellis (1846–1930) of Clapham Park, whose inheritance from her father, a wealthy Brighton businessman, enabled her to help found many churches. Designed by the architects Scoles & Raymond, the church was opened in 1906 and the side aisles, baptistery and chapels were added in 1968. The sanctuary was remodelled in 1977 and the church was refurbished and decorated in 1998. A parish hall, which also includes a smaller meeting room, is located next to the church. After a bequest in 1979 by a parishioner, Mrs Moya Rinkenback, paid off the church's debts, the church was dedicated and consecrated on 27 April 1979 by Archbishop Michael Bowen, the Archbishop of Southwark. Notable congregants Second World War Royal Air Force fighter pilot and flying ace Brendan "Paddy" Finucane (1920–1942), whose family lived at 26 Castlegate, Richmond, was a former altar server at the church. School A school for infants, St Winefride's School, which was associated with the church and parish, operated from the 1910s until the early 1950s. Note References Sources Rundle, Joan (2006).

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, London

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church is a Roman Catholic church in Fulham, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The church was designed by Benedict Williamson, an architect who later became a Catholic priest. It is situated on Stephendale Road and the parish house is situated on Tynemouth Street. Interior Its soaring classical columns and Romanesque arches emphasizes the light and space of the church giving it a height and grandeur that make it look deceptively large. The church was built just after the discovery Tutankhamen’s tomb in Egypt, so there are interior details that reflect the fascination with Egyptian pictures from the time. The Stations of the Cross each have a meditation in their own right. History In 1914, a local lady lost her son in action in the First World War. In 1922, she bought the local rubbish tip and built the church of Our Lady there in the memory of her son. She presented a silver cup to the first baby baptized here and a suite of furniture to the first couple married. It has been a parish church ever since.

Ousedale School

E-ACT Ousedale School, most commonly referred to as Ousedale School, is an academy based in Newport Pagnell and Olney, in the City of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. The first campus opened in 1963 originally for Newport Pagnell and its surrounding villages. A second campus in Olney opened in 2007 for students from the north of the (then) Borough of Milton Keynes district. E-ACT Merger In September 2024, Ousedale School officially became E-ACT Ousedale School. Then-headteacher Andy Burton justified the school joining E-ACT – a multi-academy trust – by stating that it is "an exciting opportunity for increased professional development". However, shortly after this was announced, Andy Burton resigned and became education director at the E-ACT multi-academy trust. The current headteacher, Paul McFadden took over the role. Students and staff alike have since expressed criticism of the trust. For example, in March 2026, a petition that attracted greater than two thousand signatures was created on Change.org by an anonymous member of staff. The petition urges people to sign, to "protect our school and its incredible staff from the ramifications of this financial oversight", referring to the £1.4 million deficit of Ousedale School that occurred after joining the E-ACT trust. Olney campus The new £7m building of Ousedale School opened in Easter 2007, six months behind schedule, built by Jackson Construction. Academic performance These are the Department for Education (DfE) figures published in April 2026 for the 2025 cohort: English Baccalaureate Entry Rate: 34.2% (below the national average). Awards and recognition At the 2025 Milton Keynes Education Awards, the school was named "Overall School of the Year". It was also awarded "Best Creative School/Company" at the 2025 MK Inspiration Awards.

Outer Trial Bank

The Outer Trial Bank is a circular artificial island in the Wash, East Anglia, England. It is one of two artificial islands constructed during the 1970s for a proposed UK governmental water resources scheme. History In 1972, the British government undertook a study to assess the feasibility of building a tidal barrage across half of the Wash. The idea was to capture the freshwater from the River Witham, River Welland, River Nene and Great Ouse, the four main rivers which flow into the Wash, in order to build a freshwater reservoir. The study also intended to establish potential improvements to the navigation of sea locks, provide recreational facilities and develop an area of land for a power station. Construction of the banks As part of the test, the approval to build an artificial island 2 miles (3.2 km) off the Lincolnshire coast was given in November 1974. Building work began in February 1975. The bank (known locally as "the doughnut" due to its biconcave shape) was constructed of a sand fill protected by limestone rubble. Measuring 250 metres (820 ft) in diameter, the island contained a small reservoir measuring 1 hectare (2.5 acres) in the centre. A smaller and cruder trial bank is connected by a causeway on Terrington Marsh, Norfolk (52°49′7.05″N 0°17′15.28″E). It was constructed prior to the larger offshore version. Conclusions The study, which was published in 1976 as "The Wash storage scheme", found that the trial alone proved financially unfeasible (costing £3 million), and that the freshwater was too close to the tidal estuary to ensure low salinity and minimal silt levels. The trial was soon abandoned and the plans for the scheme permanently shelved. Present use The outer bank is a nesting ground for seabirds within the national nature reserve of the Wash. In 2008, an estimated 3,000 pairs of birds nested on the island. See also Centre Port, a plan for a tidal barrage across The Wash References
