Glover’s Island

Glover’s Island (ursprünglich Petersham Ait) liegt im Horse Reach der Themse, zwischen Richmond Lock und Teddington Lock im Borough of Richmond upon Thames, London, England. 1872 wurde die Insel von Joseph Glover, einem Fährmann, für 70 £ gekauft. Er bot die Insel 1895 zum Verkauf an, aber Sir J. Whittaker Ellis, der Charter Mayor von Richmond, lehnte es ab, sie für 5000 £ zu kaufen und regte an, dass die Richmond Corporation dies tun könne. Diese sah es zwar als möglich an die Insel zu kaufen, doch lehnte sie den geforderten Preis ab. 1898 versuchte es Glover erneut und erzeugte einen Skandal, als er die Insel zur Auktion freigab und nahelegte, dass sie von Pears Soap, einer Seifenmarke, gekauft werden könnte, um eine Werbetafel darauf zu errichten. Glover benutzte dies, um die Richmond Corporation zu erpressen, der er die Insel für 4000 £ anbot. Auch wenn die Corporation die Insel kaufen wollte, so sah sie doch keine Rechtfertigung für eine derartig große Ausgabe aus ihren eigenen Mitteln. Es gab eine lange Diskussion in der Öffentlichkeit darüber, den Blick vom Richmond Hill unbedingt unbeeinträchtigt zu erhalten. Es gab den Vorschlag, die Insel sollte von Spendengelder und Geld der Corporation gekauft werden. Bis September 1898 kamen lediglich 50 £ an Spenden zusammen und das bekannt wurde, dass Glover die Insel für 70 £ gekauft hatte, förderte die Spendenbereitschaft nicht. Die Auktion fand am 21. September 1898 statt. Das höchste Gebot waren aber nur 200 £. Ein ungenannter Anwohner hatte Glover 1000 £ geboten, die er dann der Corporation schenken wollte. Aber Glover lehnte alle Angebote ab und zog die Insel vom Verkauf zurück. 1900 kaufte Max Waechter, der im Terrace House am Richmond Hill lebte, die Insel von Glover für eine Summe, die niemals veröffentlicht wurde und schenkte sie der Corporation.

Glover's Island

Glover’s Island (originally called Petersham Ait and also known as Clam Island) is a small island in a tree-lined section of the Thames River, known as Horse Reach on the tidal Thames, between Richmond Lock and Teddington Lock in the Borough of Richmond upon Thames, London, England. Description The tree-covered islet has been precisely measured as 0.536 acres (0.217 ha) above mean high water springs. History In 1872 the island, then called Petersham Ait, was bought by a Richmond-based waterman named Joseph Glover for £70 (equivalent to £7,000 in 2025); he later advertised it for resale in 1895. Clementine trees were planted on the island in 1897. Sir John Whittaker Ellis, Mayor of Richmond, had a house along the aristocratic row on the place with the highest, definitive Thames Arcadia view. This is on the steep terrace of Richmond Hill above public pleasure gardens. Ellis declined to buy the island at £5,000 (equivalent to £568,000 in 2025), so suggested that the Richmond Corporation should be approached. The view itself had been painted by John Wootton in about 1740 as A View From Richmond Hill. An English Arcadia. The Amenities Committee considered the proposal on 2 April 1895 and decided – "That while the Committee think it desirable that the Island should be acquired for the Corporation if it could be obtained at a reasonable price, they are of the opinion that in view of the sum now named, it would be useless to enter into any negotiation for its purchase." Trying again in 1898, Glover caused a furore by putting the islet up for auction and suggesting it could be sold to Pears soap to erect a giant advertising hoarding. Glover used this threat to vex the corporation, offering it to them for £4,000 but although the corporation wanted to buy the island, it was felt that there was no justification in spending such a large sum of money out of its funds. There then followed a lengthy debate and correspondence in the local press about preserving the view from Richmond Hill and suggestions were made that the purchase should be funded jointly by public subscription and the corporation. By September, only £50 had been given to the public fund; disclosure of Glover's purchase at £70 did not help. The auction took place on 21 September but the highest bid was only £200. An unnamed resident had offered Glover £1,000 for the island (which he then intended to present to the corporation), but Glover refused to sell. In 1900 Max Waechter of Terrace House, Richmond Hill, bought it for £1,600 and conveyed it to the council having that body covenant, with intent to bind its successors, it was never to be developed. In September 1940, after London Zoo was bombed during the Blitz, a colony of Humboldt penguins were temporarily relocated to Glover's Island whilst repairs to the Penguin Pool were undertaken. In art Walter Sickert's 1932 oil painting Glover's Island from Richmond Hill, is held at the Yale Center for British Art.

Glyndebourne

Glyndebourne is een landhuis in de buurt van Lewes in het Engelse graafschap East Sussex. Sinds 1934 wordt er het jaarlijkse Glyndebourne Opera Festival gehouden. In 1920 kwam het landhuis in het bezit van miljonair John Christie, de eigenaar van een bedrijf dat orgels bouwde. Hij transformeerde een van de kamers van het landhuis tot een orgelruimte, met een van de grootste orgels buiten een kathedraal in heel Engeland. Christie was een groot muziekliefhebber en organiseerde regelmatig amateuropera's in de orgelruimte. Tijdens een van deze opera-avonden ontmoette hij ook zijn vrouw, de sopraan Audrey Mildmay. Zij was een professionele zangeres en werd aangesteld om het niveau van de uitvoeringen in Glyndebourne op te schroeven. Tijdens hun huwelijksreis bezochten Christie en Mildmay de operafestivals in Salzburg en Bayreuth, wat hen op het idee bracht ook in Glyndebourne een professioneel festival te organiseren. Er werd een theater met 300 plaatsen en een grote orkestbak gebouwd. De artistieke leiding kwam in handen van dirigent Fritz Busch en regisseur Carl Ebert, die beiden waren gevlucht uit nazi-Duitsland. De eerste voorstelling, Le nozze di Figaro van Mozart, had plaats op 24 mei 1934. Werken van Mozart bleven lange tijd een belangrijke pijler van het festival vormen. De uitvoeringen van Idomeneo in de jaren 1950 droegen in hoge mate bij aan de herwaardering van deze opera. Hetzelfde gold voor Verdi's Macbeth, voor het eerst in Glyndebourne opgevoerd in 1938. In de jaren 1959, 1961 en 1963 deed de Nederlandse sopraan Gré Brouwenstijn mee aan het festival in de rol van Leonore (haar handelsmerk) in Beethovens opera Fidelio. Later kwamen ook werken van onder meer Rossini, Richard Strauss, Ravel en Strawinksy op het repertoire en sinds 1984 werden ook enkele opera's speciaal voor het festival geschreven. Karakteristiek voor het festival is de intieme sfeer, waar de uitgebreide picknicks in het park rond het theater sterk aan bijdragen. Uitbreiding van de capaciteit van het theater was echter noodzakelijk om voldoende financiële ruimte te verkrijgen om het hoge niveau van het festival te behouden. In de loop der jaren werd het oorspronkelijke theater verschillende malen verbouwd en van bijgebouwen voorzien waarin diverse faciliteiten ondergebracht konden worden. In 1992 vond het festival voor de laatste keer plaats in het oude theater. Een compleet nieuw theater met 1150 plaatsen kwam gereed in 1994. Sinds 1968 is ook de Glyndebourne Touring Opera actief. Het operagezelschap van Glyndebourne trekt ieder jaar van oktober tot en met december langs diverse theaters in het gehele Verenigd Koninkrijk. De tour begint in Glyndebourne zelf en heeft als doel de hoge kwaliteit die Glyndebourne nastreeft voor een zo groot mogelijk publiek toegankelijk te maken. De Nederlandse dirigent Bernard Haitink was van 1978 tot 1988 de muzikale leider van het Glyndebourne festival. Externe link Glyndebourne Opera Festival
Goadby Hall

Goadby Hall is a privately owned 17th-century country house located in Towns Lane, Goadby Marwood, Leicestershire. It is an historical Grade II* listed building. The house was substantially renovated in 1750, when a new south front was built in the Palladian style. Five recessed central bays extend to two storeys with attics, the central three bays of which are pedimented with Doric order columns. Two flanking wings of two storeys have two bays each. The plainer north front has three storeys and seven bays. A large service wing adjoins to the west. A nearby stable block has Grade II listed status. The 180-acre (0.7 km2) estate was a subsidiary holding of the Duke of Rutland, and the property was often the residence of junior members of the Manners family. Lady Elizabeth Manners, daughter of the 4th Duke, married Richard Norman MP in 1798. Their son, George Norman, inherited the estate and hall from his cousin, the 7th Duke.

Godinton House

Godinton House (also known as Godinton House and Gardens or Godinton Park) is a stately home in the parish of Great Chart, owned by a non-profit-making trust. It is 2 miles (3.2 km) north-west of the centre of the town of Ashford, Kent, UK. Description Godinton House is an ancient brick house with a Jacobean-style exterior. The roof has a distinctive system of Dutch gables (also called semi-classical gables). The Jacobean house was built around a medieval great hall. Of particular note is the elaborate carvings in chestnut wood on the main staircase. The gardens include one of the longest Yew hedges in England, as well as having spectacular displays of delphiniums, irises, wild flowers and roses. The house also has a Steinway piano. It hosts one of the best private collections of porcelain in the South of England. History Godinton House was the seat of the Toke family for about 455 years from 1440 to 1895. Around the turn of the century (19th/20th) then owner Mr. Ashley Dodd hired the architect Sir Reginald Blomfield to update the house and redesign the gardens. Blomfield planted the famous yew hedge, shaped to repeat the gable form seen on the house. In 1991 Major Alan Wyndham-Green, the last owner of Godinton, established the Godinton House Preservation Trust. Since Major Wyndham-Green's passing in 1996 the Trust has continued to preserve, restore, and enhance the house and parklands.

Godstow Lock

Das Godstow Lock ist eine Schleuse in der Themse in Oxfordshire, England. Es liegt bei Godstow zwischen den Orten Wolvercote und Wytham am nördlichen Rand von Oxford. Die erste steinerne Schleuse wurde 1790 von Daniel Harris für die Thames Navigation Commission gebaut. Es ist die am weitesten flussaufwärts gelegene Schleuse, die maschinell betrieben wird. Ein Wehr liegt etwas flussaufwärts und ein weiteres Wehr an der Godstow Bridge. Diese Wehre leiten in den Nebenarm des Wolvercote Mill Stream. Geschichte Vor dem Bau von Godstow Lock diente die Godstow Bridge als eine Art Schleuse und dies blieb auch nach der Fertigstellung im Jahr 1790 noch eine Weile so. Nach dem Bau der Schleuse gab es Beschwerden über den Anstieg des Wasserspiegels und die Folgen für die umliegenden Wiesen. Nachdem der Bauzustand der Schleuse sich verschlechtert hatte, wurde sie 1872 grundlegend renoviert. Der Verkehr auf dem Fluss umging die Schleuse oft, indem man den Nebenarm des Flusses nutzte. Das Schleusenwärterhaus wurde um 1896 unter der Bedingung gebaut, dass dort keine Erfrischungen verkauft würden, um das Geschäft des Pubs The Trout Inn nicht zu schädigen. Vor dem Bau des Hauses lebte der Schleusenwärter in einem Hausboot. Die Schleuse wurde zuletzt 1924 renoviert. Umfeld Die Schleuse ist unweit der Godstow Bridge und kann zu Fuß von dort erreicht werden. Neben der Schleuse bei Godstow liegen die Ruinen der Benediktiner Abtei Godstow. Oberhalb der Schleuse wird der Fluss schmaler und gewundener. Der Themsepfad verläuft auf der Westseite des Flusses bis zum King’s Lock.
