Cenotafio (Londres)

El Cenotafio es un monumento a los caídos ubicado en Whitehall, Londres, Inglaterra, Reino Unido. Su origen está en una estructura temporal erigida para un desfile de paz después del final de la Primera Guerra Mundial, y después de una manifestación espontánea de patriotismo fue reemplazado en 1920 por una estructura permanente y designado como memorial perpetuo.​ Diseñado por Edwin Lutyens, la estructura permanente fue construida a partir de piedra de Portland entre 1919 y 1920 por Holland, Hannen & Cubitts, reemplazando el cenotafio de madera y yeso anterior de Lutyens en el mismo lugar. Un Servicio anual de conmemoración se lleva a cabo en el sitio en el Día del Recuerdo, el domingo más cercano al 11 de noviembre (Día del Armisticio) de cada año. El diseño del cenotafio de Lutyens se ha reproducido en otras partes del Reino Unido y en otras naciones que pertenecieron al Imperio Británico, como Australia, Canadá, Nueva Zelanda, Bermudas y Hong Kong.​ Está flanqueado por varias banderas británicas representando a la Marina Real, el Ejército Británico, la Real Fuerza Aérea y la Marina mercante. Las palabras "The glorious dead" (Los muertos gloriosos) están inscritas dos veces, una debajo de las coronas de laurel talladas en cada extremo. Diseñado para conmemorar a los militares muertos del Imperio Británico de la Primera Guerra Mundial, el cenotafio se extendió para incluir a aquellos que murieron en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Por ello, el cenotafio fue reinaugurado el 10 de noviembre de 1946. El monumento ahora también se usa para recordar a los muertos de las guerras posteriores en las que combatientes y militares británicos han luchado. El Cenotafio fue designado edificio de grado I el 5 de febrero de 1970.​ Véase también Cenotafio Cenotafio de Hong Kong Cenotafio de Mánchester Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Cenotafio.
Londoni kenotáfium

A londoni kenotáfium (The Cenotaph) egy emlékmű a brit fővárosban, amely a Nemzetközösség első világháborús hősi halottjai előtt tiszteleg. Az üres kőkoporsó az Egyesült Királyság fő nemzeti háborús emlékhelye. Története A brit kormány 1919. július 18-án, a versailles-i békeszerződés aláírásának évfordulóján rendezte meg az első világháborús győzelmi ünnepét. A franciák július 14-én tartották sajátjukat, amelynek egyik eleme volt az ókorból eredő szokás, az üres koporsó felállítása, amelynek az elvonuló katonák tiszteleghettek, megemlékezve így elesett bajtársaikról. David Lloyd George miniszterelnöknek megtetszett az ötlet, ezért megrendelte a brit változatot. Sir Alfred Mond, a munkaügy kormányzati vezetője – még a francia felvonulás előtt – felkérte Edwin Lutyenst, a kor talán leghíresebb brit építészét, hogy tervezzen ő is egy kenotáfiumot. Az építész fennmaradt jegyzeteiből úgy tűnik, hogy már korábban foglalkoztatta egy hasonló terv, ugyanis már június 4-én papírra vetette az üres koporsó vázlatát. Július 7-ére készen volt a terv, amelyet bemutatott a kormányfőnek, majd 11 nap alatt elkészült a fából, vitorlavászonból és gipszből épített emlékmű. A magas talapzaton álló emlékmű mély hatást gyakorolt a britekre, néhány nap alatt több millióan keresték fel, sok koszorút és virágot hagyva az üres koporsó alatt. A látogatók többsége gyászolt valakit, aki a nyugati fronton esett el, így szimbolikusan az ő sírját koszorúzhatta meg. A katonai parádé után két nappal így írt a The Timesː A kenotáfium csak egy ideiglenes építmény, amely kőnek tűnik, de Sir Edwin Lutyens elgondolása oly komoly, kimért és gyönyörű, hogy sokan kívánják, bár lenne valóban kőből és állna örökké. Az ideiglenes emlékművet 1920 januárjában bontották el. Habár felmerült az az elképzelés, hogy a leendő kőkenotáfium a lovas őrség laktanyájának közelében álljon, a kormány 1919. július 30-án a whitehalli eredeti helyszín mellett döntött. Az emlékművet portlandi kőből készítette el a Holland, Hannen & Cubuitt cég, majd V. György brit király leplezte le 1920. november 11-én, a fegyvernyugvás második évfordulóján. Ugyanennek az ünnepségnek a keretében helyezték el az ismeretlen brit katona maradványait a Westminsteri apátságban. Egy hét alatt több mint 1,25 millió ember kereste fel a kenotáfiumot. Az általuk otthagyott virághalom elérte a három métert. A londoni kenotáfium hatására Nagy-Britannia minden pontján háborús emlékművek építésébe fogtak. Az első nagyvárosi kenotáfiumok közé tartozik a southamptoni, amelyet szintén Lutyens tervezett; 1920. november 6-án adták át. Az ő munkája a hongkongi kenotáfium is. A londonihoz hasonló emlékművet építtetett Manchester, Rochdale és a Midland Railway vasúttársaság is. A londoni kenotáfium 1920 óta hagyományos helyszíne a fegyvernyugvásra emlékező központi megemlékezéseknek. Jegyzetek Források ↑ Englih Heritage: The Cenotaph. English Heritage.

Cercle de pierres de Porlock

Le cercle de pierres de Porlock est un édifice mégalithique situé dans la commune d'Exmoor, près du village de Porlock, dans le comté de Somerset, dans le sud-ouest de l'Angleterre. Contexte Ce cercle de pierres levées fait partie d'une tradition architecturale qui s'est répandue dans une grande partie de l'Europe atlantique au cours du Néolithique et jusqu'au début de l'Âge du bronze, entre environ 4000 et 1500 av. J.-C. Le but de ces édifices demeure inconnu, bien que les archéologues émettent l'hypothèse que les pierres pouvaient représenter des entités surnaturelles.

St George Church, Gloucester

St George Church is an Anglican church on Grange Road, Tuffley, Gloucestershire, England. Its worship style comprises common Anglican worship with seasonal variations. History The church was established in 1941, but did not have a hall until 1942, when Whaddon Church Hall, a wooden building, was moved to Grange Road. In 1947, a temporary church was built and, in 1948, it became a conventional district. In 1950, the temporary building was extended and the church was dedicated to Saint George. The vicarage house for the church was built in Grange Road in 1954. The brick church was built in 1956, it was designed to be a church hall and there were also plans for it to be connected to another bigger church via a cloister. However, the bigger church was never built so the new church hall became the main church building, and the old temporary church became the church hall. In 1967, the district became the parish of St George. In 1970 and 1971, the church hall was demolished and several new rooms were added to the north-east including a new hall, meeting rooms, kitchen and toilets. At this point the church was also known as the St George's Centre as it was a much used community resource. In the late 1970s, two houses for the clergy were built to the west of the main building. In 1981, the church was re-orientated and enlarged, most of the west wall was demolished and, in its place, a sanctuary and chapel were built. Internally, partition walls were demolished to form a wide open space inside. The newly built parts of the church were dedicated by the Bishop of Gloucester. Vicarage The vicarage is a modern, four-bedroom detached home located on Grange Road, to the north-east of the church. Parish of St George The population of the parish is approximately 9,600. It includes parts of Podsmead and Lower Tuffley, with the A38 going through the middle of the parish. It is in the twenty-five percent of the most deprived parishes in England and is the tenth most deprived parish in the Diocese of Gloucester. References

Ritz Cinema, Thirsk

The Ritz Cinema on Westgate, Sowerby, North Yorkshire, England is a small (180 seat) cinema run by volunteers. The building was originally the Mechanics' Institute for Thirsk and Sowerby, but was converted into a cinema in 1912. Today, it is one of Britain's oldest operating cinemas. History Originally the cinema was known as Powers after Walter Powers, the man who ran the picture house in its first incarnation with silent movies. In 1927, when the talkies arrived, he extended the seating in the cinema by adding the balcony. During the First World War, Powers "gave free shows to wounded soldiers". In 1953, the Ritz was purchased by the Star Group which operated over 90 cinemas; during that ownership, the cinema was named Studio One and occasionally ran bingo sessions. The business then closed in early 1972 but reopened under new owners in 1984 (1981 according to one source); that continued until another brief closure in 1994. Recent history In 1995, a group of volunteers got together to run it as a social project for Thirsk and Sowerby, initially as a Thirsk Town Council venture, although that management lasted only a year. The business has been fully operated by volunteers since 1996, when the management role shifted to a Volunteer Committee. According to a Yorkshire Post item in January 2011, this is "the longest entirely volunteer-run cinema in the country". In March 2012, the Ritz installed Digital projection equipment, purchased under a Digital Print Scheme through the Cinema Exhibitors' Association (CEA). Better seating, new decor, a new screen and Dolby Surround Sound were also installed since early 1995. In a period setting, the cinema shows current films. The Ritz was closed for some months in 2020-2021 due to lockdowns necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In early January 2021, the government's Culture Recovery Fund provided a grant of £6,400 to help cover some of the loss. Filming location The cinema was used as a backdrop for the filming of the second series of All Creatures Great and Small in June 2021. References External links Official website
Holy Trinity Church, Abbots Leigh

Holy Trinity Church in Abbots Leigh within the English county of Somerset is a 15th-century Perpendicular Gothic building, restored and partially rebuilt in 1847–48 after a fire. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The site of the church may have been occupied by a small chapel or Saxon hermitage. Parts of the present building may be remnants of a 13th-century structure. In 1848 the church was damaged by fire and much of the building had to be rebuilt; however the tower and chancel remain from the original. The parish and benefice of Abbots Leigh with Leigh Woods is within the Diocese of Bristol. Architecture The stone building has a slate roof to the nave. There are north and south aisles, a chancel with a ribbed roof, south porch and vestry. The three-stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses and topped by an embattled parapet. The tower has six bells, three of which were cast in 1781 by William Bilbie of the Bilbie family. Within the church are various monuments and memorials including one to Sir George Norton of Leigh Court. In the churchyard is a late medieval octagonal cross. References
HM Prison Northumberland

HM Prison Northumberland is a Category C men's prison, located near the village of Acklington in Northumberland, England. Since 2013 Northumberland has been operated by private prison firm Sodexo Justice Services under contract with His Majesty's Prison Service. Healthcare services are provided by Spectrum Community Health CIC. History Northumberland was formed on 31 October 2011 from a merger of HM Prison Acklington and HM Prison Castington and on 1 December 2013 management of HMP Northumberland passed from Her Majesty's Prison Service to Sodexo Justice Services. HMP Acklington was the most northerly adult prison in England, and was built on the site of the former RAF Acklington airfield. When Sodexo Justice Services began management of Acklington Prison in 2013, the firm promised to save taxpayers' money and many jobs were lost. The Prison Officers Association warned at the time this could cause escapes and riots. In March 2014, there was a "major incident" after more than fifty prisoners took over a wing at the former Acklington Prison. In August 2014 a prison officer was hospitalised by an inmate. In response to this incident Mike Quinn, vice chairman of the Northumbria branch of NAPO, made a statement criticising the "violent culture" at the institution which could cause an incident unable to be dealt with due to reduced staffing levels. Between 2010 and 2013 staff at HMP Northumberland were reduced from 441 to 270. Fires broke out in six cells in November 2014 and seven inmates were evacuated from the prison. Following the evacuation there were violent incidents in the exercise yard. Inmates surrendered after additional officers were deployed. Firefighters tackled the blazes. A 2017 BBC Panorama investigation found illegal drugs rife and prison staff "not in control". Staff were unable to confront prisoners due to lack of back up and prisoners threatened staff. Some door alarms did not work. Single prison officers dealt with large groups of prisoners. A hole in an internal security fence was found where prisoners could get out and find drugs or other contraband thrown over the prison fence. Prisoners were sometimes incapacitated by drugs. In April 2024, RAAC was discovered across the site, requiring a number of buildings and House blocks to be closed. References External links Ministry of Justice pages on HMP Northumberland
Coneybury Henge

Coneybury Henge is a henge which is part of the Stonehenge Landscape in Wiltshire, England. The henge, which has been almost completely flattened, was only discovered in the 20th century. Geophysical surveys and excavation have uncovered many of its features, which include a northeast entrance, an internal circle of postholes, and fragments of bone and pottery. Location Coneybury Henge is around 1.4 kilometres east-by-southeast of Stonehenge, which can be seen from the site. The location has extensive views southeast across the Avon valley, and west towards Normanton Down. The henge is difficult to identify on the ground, having been levelled by ploughing, but has been identified on aerial photographs, geophysical survey, and by excavation. The absence of any mention of the henge in historical records suggests that it may have been levelled in medieval times or soon after, and this theory is supported by ridge and furrow marks visible on some aerial photographs. Discovery and excavation The site was first noted from the air in the 1920s and thought to be a disc barrow. Later aerial photographs gave strong indications it was a Class I henge. The photographs show an oval ditch, around 45 metres by 55 metres in diameter. The entrance is on the longer axis on the northeast side. Traces of an external bank are said to be visible. The henge was excavated in 1980 as part of the Stonehenge Environs Project. The excavations revealed a broad oval ditch around 4 metres wide by 3 metres deep defining the henge. Excavation of internal features included a few pits and postholes, numerous stakeholes, and an arc of postholes inside the inner edge of the enclosure ditch which may have represented a post circle. Some of the internal features may pre-date the henge. Finds included pottery ranging from the early Neolithic to middle Bronze Age, as well as animal bone and a human cremation. Coneybury Anomaly Around 12 metres northwest of Coneybury Henge, evidence suggests a unique cross-cultural feast held long before the Henge was built. The Anomaly is a pit containing a large amount of early Neolithic pottery together with a large quantity of animal bone, and flint tools of both Mesolithic and Neolithic types. The excavators suggest that the Coneybury Anomaly represents the material remains of a gathering organized by a regional community, with participants coming from different cultures and locations.

University of Cambridge Primary School

The University of Cambridge Primary School is a three-form primary school in Cambridge, UK. Funded by the local education authority, it is run as a free school by the University of Cambridge and is the first University Training School for primary in the UK. With a planned capacity of 630 pupils, the school is also used for teacher training and acts as a centre for educational research. History Following the University's 800th anniversary in 2009, plans were formed to address the issue of the lack of affordable accommodation for its staff and post-graduate students. The 150-hectare North West Cambridge Development between Madingley Road and Huntingdon Road was identified as an area for development, and in February 2013 formal planning approval was granted for development of the site to include 1500 homes for university staff, 1500 homes for private sale, and accommodation for 2000 graduate students. To help support this, a primary school was also included in the plans, and work began on the site following a ground-breaking ceremony on 14 November 2014. The school opened with the new school year in September 2015 with two Reception classes, one Year One class, and one Year Two class. In September 2016 three Reception classes were added. Over time the school will fill as the initial intake becomes older until there are three classes in each year up to Year Six. Building The school was created by architects Marks Barfield, designers of the London Eye, and is circular in shape enclosing a central courtyard. Drawing inspiration from Mandy Swann's book Creating learning without limits, the school encompasses a "learning street", a central space that runs between the classrooms that themselves open directly onto the space without the need for doors. The school building received the 2017 RIBA East Award for its design and build. References
