Stowey Castle

Stowey Castle (or Nether Stowey Castle known locally as The Mount) was a Norman motte-and-bailey castle, built in the 11th century, in the village of Nether Stowey on the Quantock Hills in Somerset, England. It has been designated as a Scheduled Monument, the foundations of the keep are also a Grade I listed building. Details The Castle is sited on a small isolated knoll of Leighland Slates of the Devonian series, about 390 feet (119 m) high. It consisted of a square keep, (which may have been stone, or a wooden superstructure on stone foundations) and its defences, and an outer and an inner bailey. The mount is 29 feet (9 m) above the 6 feet (2 m) wide ditch which itself is 7 feet (2 m) deep. The motte has a flat top. The central area is occupied by approximately square foundations 33 feet (10 m) by 33 feet (10 m), with internal divisions. Alfred of Spain (who was actually from Épaignes in Normandy) is the Norman Lord of Stowey as recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086; the building of the castle is normally attributed to him or to his daughter Isabel. The earliest written reference to the castle is in a forged charter of 1154. The top of the motte was excavated by amateurs in the 19th century but no record was made of any finds. The mounds around the top of the motte are assumed to be spoil heaps from these excavations to clear the foundations of the keep, although it has also been suggested that they may be the remains of towers. The blue lias rubble foundations are the only visible structural remains of the castle, which stood on the conical motte surrounded by a ditch approximately 820 feet (250 m) in circumference. The castle was destroyed in the 15th century, which may have been as a penalty for the local Lord Audley's involvement in the Second Cornish Uprising of 1497 led by Perkin Warbeck. Some of the stone was used in the building of Stowey Court in the village. See also Castles in Great Britain and Ireland List of castles in England References

Strangers' Hall

Strangers' Hall is een historisch gebouw en plaatselijk geschiedenismuseum in het Engelse Norwich. De oudste delen van het gebouw dateren uit de 14e eeuw (de burgemeesterswoning uit 1340). Het gebouw werd genoemd naar de Strangers, protestantse vluchtelingen uit de Nederlanden vanaf 1565 (sommigen onder hen woonden in het gebouw). Burgemeester Sotherton kreeg een koninklijke toelating om 24 Nederlandse en 6 Waalse families te herbergen (om de textielindustrie te stimuleren). In 1582 maakten de Strangers een derde uit van de bevolking. Tot de 17e eeuw werd het gebouw verbouwd door verschillende kooplui en burgemeesters waaronder de familie Sotherton, Francis Cock en Joseph Paine. Het pand kwam in handen van de katholieke kerk en begin 20e eeuw werd het door eigenaar Leonard Bolingbroke ingericht als folkloremuseum. Externe link Officiële website

Stratford Girls' Grammar School

Stratford Girls' Grammar School (formerly Stratford-upon-Avon Grammar School for Girls) is a fully selective girls' grammar school in England situated in Stratford-upon-Avon. Admissions The school has been consistently recognised as one of the top twenty state schools in England, became a Specialist Language College in 2002, and was later awarded the status of a Specialist Science College. Since 2011 the school has been awarded status as an academy school. Entry is by examination at 11, although entry may be made in later years or most commonly at sixth form level. History The school opened in 1958. Before this time, academically able girls in Stratford had no hope of an education beyond comprehensive level, unless their parents could afford to send them to the King's High School For Girls in nearby Warwick. The Hugh Clopton School for Girls was given a Grammar Stream as the result of the Education Act 1944. It was one of only two bilateral schools in Warwickshire. The first and second intakes took the External School Certificate and after that when O and A Levels came into force, these were taken as a matter of course. Thanks to the sustained efforts of several women, including the first Headmistress Miss E. B. Williams, (Miss Williams was appointed Head of the bi-lateral school) the first pupils were taken from the A stream of nearby Hugh Clopton School, known today as Stratford-upon-Avon School. In August 2011 the school changed to Academy (Mainstream Converter) status and changed its official name from Stratford-upon-Avon Grammar School for Girls to Stratford Girls' Grammar School. The name Shottery, as the school is often known, came later when there were too many pupils to be accommodated in the old building. As of 2018, the school admits around 120 new Year 7 pupils per year. Competition for places is high, with more than seven applicants per place. The original school was centred on the historic Shottery Manor, parts of which date from the 14th century. The Manor still stands today, and is used as a sixth form centre. Three additional buildings were added before the school opened, in what were originally the Manor orchards and flower gardens. The Garrett Teaching block was expanded in work that was completed in 2013. The Hargreaves building was opened in September 2016, offering a Fitness Suite, Sports Hall, dining facilities, Drama studio and History and Politics department. Notable former pupils Captain Helen Allkins, Matron-in-Chief of the Queen Alexandra's Royal Naval Nursing Service, and Director of Naval Nursing Services since July 2008.

Stratford Butterfly Farm

Die Stratford Butterfly Farm ist ein Schmetterlingszoo in Stratford-upon-Avon in der englischen Grafschaft Warwickshire. Geschichte Clive Farrell, ein Hobby-Entomologe, der sich von frühester Jugend für Schmetterlinge interessierte, erwarb ein Grundstück in Stratford-upon-Avon, auf dem er mit dem Bau eines Schmetterlingshauses begann. 1985 wurde es von dem britischen Botaniker David Bellamy eröffnet. In den folgenden Jahren wurden die Anlagen erweitert und modifiziert. 2002 löste eine fehlgeleitete Feuerwerksrakete ein Feuer aus und zerstörte einige Anlagenteile. Die Farm konnte für die Besucher jedoch geöffnet bleiben und nur ein kleiner Abschnitt eines Gewächshauses musste neu bepflanzt werden. Im Jahr 2020 beging die Stratford Butterfly Farm feierlich das 35-jährige Jubiläum. Anlagenbeschreibung Die Stratford Butterfly Farm ist in mehrere Sektionen gegliedert. In der Rainforst Flight Area fliegen exotische Schmetterlinge in einer mit tropischen Pflanzen ausgestatteten Freiflughalle, die mehr als 2000 Schmetterlinge beherbergt. Die Blüten der in der Halle wachsenden Pflanzen dienen den Faltern als Nektarquelle und deren Blätter als Nahrung für die Raupen bestimmter Arten. In der Discovery Zone können die Besucher die einzelnen Entwicklungsstadien eines Schmetterlings vom Ei bis zum Imago verfolgen. Die Minibeast Metropolis zeigt eine Auswahl an Amphibien und Reptilien. In einem gläsernen Terrarium kann außerdem das Leben einer Kolonie der Blattschneiderameise Acromyrmex octospinosus beobachtet werden. Die Sektion The Maya stellt eine Verbindung der Schmetterlingsfarm zu den Regenwäldern von Belize und der Maya-Kultur her. Es können ca. 30 antike Maya-Artefakte besichtigt werden. Vor den Ausstellungshallen ist ein Wildflower Garden angelegt, der blütenreiche, überwiegend einheimische Pflanzen sowie Insektenhotels enthält und die heimische Insektenwelt anlocken soll. Schmetterlingsarten Je nach der Verfügbarkeit aus einem 250 Arten zählenden Artenspektrum werden meist Puppen von weltweit operierenden Schmetterlingsfarmen bezogen, zuweilen wird auch selbst gezüchtet. Im Park befinden sich bis zu 2000 Schmetterlinge in verschiedenen Entwicklungsstadien. Um die Besucher zu beeindrucken, werden vorzugsweise farbenprächtige und große Arten ausgewählt. Die nachfolgende Bild-Auswahl zeigt oftmals präsentierte Arten. Einzelnachweise Weblinks

On 3 June 2002, part of a glass butterfly nursery that was used for breeding rare and exotic butterflies was destroyed in a fire. A firework from a jubilee firework display is thought to have landed in an empty plastic flower pot next to the greenhouse and started the fire. About 90 exotic butterflies were in the nursery at the time and the majority were saved; however, special exotic plants that were used for butterfly breeding were destroyed by the fire.

They are currently members of the Southern League Premier Division Central and play at Knights Lane. History The club was formed in 1941 as Stratford Rangers, changing their name in 1949. After playing in various local leagues, they joined the Worcestershire Combination (which later became the Midland Football Combination) in 1954.

The club entered financial difficulty in 1998 and were reformed to become Stratford Town F.C.

They successfully retained their status the following season. The 2021–22 season saw The Bards reach the first round proper of the FA Cup for the first time in their history, defeating National League North side Boston United 3–2 in a fourth qualifying round replay after an initial 1–1 draw at the Boston Community Stadium.

Strawberry Hill House

La Strawberry Hill House è una villa che fu costruita a Strawberry Hill, a Twickenham, Londra, dallo scrittore Horace Walpole a partire dal 1749. Strawberry Hill fu la prima villa costruita interamente in stile neogotico e la prima basata su reali esempi storici, e come tale può essere considerata a pieno titolo il punto di partenza del Gothic Revival. Storia Nel maggio 1747, Horace Walpole firmó un contratto di locazione su una piccola casa del XVII secolo, immersa in 2 ettari di terreno. La famiglia da tempo esercitava una certa pressione sullo scrittore affinché si decidesse a stabilirsi presso una residenza di campagna, come era pratica comune in quel periodo per gli appartenenti alla nobiltà inglese. Così l'anno successivo acquistò la casa e si preparò a ricavarne presto una "elegante villa". Nel corso degli anni Walpole ampliò la proprietà fino a raggiungere i 20 ettari, gradualmente ricostruì la casa, in conformità alle sue esigenze, dandole uno stile gotico. Il complesso fu completato nel 1762. La villa fu fonte di ispirazione per l'autore nella composizione del suo romanzo gotico Il castello di Otranto (1764), egli stesso era solito definire la sua villa «abitazione quanto mai adatta all'autore del Castello di Otranto, che se ne ispirò per il suo romanzo». Interni Le stanze all'interno della villa sono originali ed insolite e furono pensate più come stanze di rappresentanza che come ambienti intimi. Fra queste, vi è una serie di stanze rosse, caratterizzate dal colore rosso della tappezzeria: l'ambiente più particolare è la grande galleria, con le pareti tappezzate di damasco rosso ed il soffitto decorato con disegni a volute e ventagli gotici. Altre stanze notevoli sono il refettorio con il grande camino e la stanza del tè. Collezioni Strawberry Hill fu riempita di oggetti d'arte, reperti dell'antichità e curiosità di ogni epoca. Lo stesso Walpole aveva descritto i suoi tesori in una sorta di catalogo dal titolo A Description of the Villa of Horace Walpole. Riconoscimenti Nel 2004 è stata riconosciuta come parte del patrimonio culturale mondiale ed inserita nella lista del World Monuments Watch del World Monuments Fund.
