Ebrington Manor

Ebrington Manor is a grade II listed manor house in the parish of Ebrington in Gloucestershire, England. Since 1476 it has been a seat of the Fortescue family, since 1789 the Earls Fortescue. Location It is located within the village of Ebrington in Gloucestershire, immediately to the south-west of the parish church of Ebrington. History The house dates back to the fourteenth or fifteenth century, and was significantly altered twice, in the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. It was built on land purchased by Sir John Fortescue (c.1394-1479), who was Chief Justice of the King's Bench. An heraldic cartouche above the entrance door displays the arms of Fortescue impaling Aylmer, representing Hugh Fortescue (1665–1719), and his second wife Lucy Aylmer, whom he married after 1708, a daughter of Matthew Aylmer, 1st Baron Aylmer (circa 1650–1720), grandparents of Hugh Fortescue, 1st Earl Fortescue (1753-1841). During World War II the house was run by the American Red Cross for rest and recuperation for United States Army Air Forces bomber crews. In 1970 the house was the location of an attempted murder and arson. The current Earl has three daughters and no sons. Therefore the family has been involved in a campaign to change inheritance laws. It was listed as a grade II building by English Heritage on 25 August 1960. Architecture The limestone building has grey slate roofs and a central five-flue chimney. The main body of the house includes a 17th-century hall and balustraded gallery. There is extensive plasterwork throughout the house, some of which was moved from a summer house in the grounds. The main entrance gate piers and the summer-house in the grounds are both grade II* listed buildings. The garden was laid out in the 1940s. References

The Bishops Avenue

The Bishops Avenue, London N2, connects the north side of Hampstead Heath at Kenwood (Hampstead Lane), Hampstead to East Finchley and lies near or, at the south end, on the boundary between the London Boroughs of Barnet and Haringey. It is considered to be one of the wealthiest streets in the world. The road is often referred to by its nickname of "Billionaires' Row". The 66-house street runs downhill north–south and with the parallel Winnington Road displays a variety of architectural styles. Average property prices on the avenue surpassed £1 million in the late 1980s and each property occupies a 2–3-acre plot. In 2006, the smallest houses in the street were selling for £5 million while a larger house, Turkish tycoon Halis Toprak's 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m2) Toprak Mansion, sold amidst great secrecy to the president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, for £50 million in January 2008, making it one of the most expensive houses in the world, as listed by Forbes magazine. Homes on the street are on the market for up to £65 million. Together with Winnington Road and Ingram Avenue, it is named after Arthur Winnington-Ingram, who as Bishop of London owned much of the surrounding area following a land grant in 1904. Most of the land was sold privately in the early 20th century, and today only one house on the road is owned by the Church (46, The Bishops Avenue) and a nearby residential home. The Guardian revealed in 2014 that in total 16 of the properties (an estimated worth of £350 million) are derelict and have not been lived in for several decades. According to one resident, perhaps only three of the houses are occupied on a full-time basis. Most of the properties in the most expensive part of the avenue are registered to companies in tax havens including the British Virgin Islands, Curaçao, the Bahamas, Panama, and the Channel Islands, allowing international owners to avoid paying stamp duty on the purchase and to remain anonymous. Residents Owners of houses on the street include the Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, the Sultan of Brunei and members of the House of Bolkiah, publisher and newspaper magnate Richard Desmond, art collector and philanthropist Poju Zabludowicz, industrialist Lakshmi Mittal, and property tycoon Andreas Panayiotou. Former residents of the street have included Iraqi businessman Nemir Kirdar, Ariana Grande, Sir Billy Butlin, Dame Gracie Fields, Katie Boyle, Sir Peter Saunders (producer of the play The Mousetrap), the businessmen Asil Nadir and Emil Savundra and Heather Mills (the former wife of Paul McCartney), who owned an apartment there. Ten of the houses on the street owned by the House of Saud were sold for £73 million.

Equestrian statue of Viscount Combermere

The equestrian statue of Viscount Combermere stands on an island in Grosvenor Road, Chester, Cheshire, England, opposite the entrance to Chester Castle. It commemorates his successful military career, and was made by Carlo Marochetti. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. History Stapleton Cotton, 1st Viscount Combermere (1773–1865) was a cavalry officer, diplomat and politician, who served with distinction under Wellington in the Peninsular War. In 1863 it was suggested that a monument to him should be erected. The proposal quickly gained support from the major landowners of Cheshire and John Graham, Bishop of Chester, who were all major subscribers to the project. It was agreed, because of Combermere's distinguished cavalry career, that the monument should be an equestrian statue. Carlo Marochetti, noted for his equestrian statues, was commissioned to create the work. It was also agreed that the statue should stand on a prestigious site opposite Chester Castle. Work began in 1864 but, before the work could be completed, Combermere died in February 1865. The statue was unveiled on 26 October 1865 and cost about £5,000 (equivalent to £540,000 in 2025). Around £7,000 had been raised from the subscriptions, and the difference was given to charitable causes. It was the first major piece of open-air public sculpture to be erected in Cheshire. Description The statue consists of a bronze figure seated on a horse, standing on a pedestal of Cornish granite. The figure is about 3.4 metres (11 ft) in height, and the pedestal is about 3.7 metres (12 ft) high. Combermere is dressed in the uniform of a field marshal, sitting on a horse at rest with one foot raised. The pedestal is inscribed with Combermere's name and dates, and the names of the major conflicts in which he had been involved. Appraisal The statue was designated as a Grade II* listed building on 10 January 1972. Grade II* is the middle of the three grades of listing designated by English Heritage, and is granted to "particularly important buildings of more than special interest".

Fairfax House

Fairfax House ist ein Stadthaus in York in der englischen Verwaltungseinheit North Yorkshire. Es liegt auf dem Anwesen Nr. 27, Castlegate in der Nähe des York Castle. Vermutlich ließ es ein örtlicher Kaufmann Anfang der 1740er-Jahre errichten und 1759 kaufte es Charles Gregory Fairfax, 9. Viscount Fairfax of Emley, der den Architekten John Carr mit dem Umbau des Inneren beauftragte. Nach dem Tod des Viscounts 1772 wurde das Haus verkauft, ging anschließend durch die Hände etlicher ortsansässiger Familien und beherbergte dann nacheinander einen Club, eine Baugesellschaft und ein Kino. In den 1980er-Jahren erwarb der York Civic Trust das Anwesen und ließ es in altem Glanz restaurieren. Fairfax House ist heute ein öffentlich zugängliches Museum und English Heritage hat es als historisches Gebäude I. Grades gelistet. Geschichte 1761 beauftragte Viscount Fairfax den Architekten John Carr mit dem Umbau des Hauses. Die Arbeiten wurden 1765 fertiggestellt. Im Inneren finden sich einige der schönsten Stuck- und Schnitzarbeiten aus dem 18. Jahrhundert in Yorkshire. Sie wurden von James Henderson (Wirkungszeit: 1755–1778) und Giuseppe Cortese (Wirkungszeit: 1745–1778) durchgeführt. Die schmiedeeiserne Balustraden der Treppenhäuser wurden von Maurice Tobin (Wirkungszeit: 1762) geschaffen. Viscount Fairfax starb 1772 und sein Titel erlosch. Die nachfolgenden Besitzer des Hauses waren z. B. Sir Walter Vavasour, 6. Baronet of Haslewood, (1780), William Danby (1787), Peregrin Wentworth (1792), Sir John Lister-Kaye, 1. Baronet Lister-Kaye of Grange, (1820) und Mrs Ann Mary Pemberton (1840–1865). Irgendwann später wurde das in St George’s Hall umbenannte Fairfax House nicht mehr benötigt und verfiel. Ende des 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts diente ein Teil des Anwesens als Tanzsaal. 1921 wurde St George's Cinema neben dem Fairfax House eröffnet und schloss erst 1970 wieder seine Tore. Von 1982 bis 1984 ließ der York Civic Trust das Gebäude renovieren und den nicht mehr benötigten Eingang zum Kino in einen Haupteingang zu Fairfax House umbauen. Anschließend übernahm der York Conservation Trust das Haus und vermietete es an den York Civic Trust zurück. Nach dem Tod des Schokoladenfabrikanten Noel Terry 1980 wurde dessen Sammlung georgianischer Möbel und Uhren dem Fairfax House gespendet.

Fulham House

Fulham House is a military installation at 87 Fulham High Street, Fulham, London. It is a Grade II listed building. History The original house was named Passors after a family living on the site during the reign of King Edward III. A passor or passator was a ferryman. A later occupant was the wool merchant Ralph Warren, who was Lord Mayor of London in 1536. It was then occupied by the cloth merchant Sir Thomas White, also a Lord Mayor of London, as well as a civic benefactor and founder of St John's College, Oxford. Passors was subsequently inherited by Sir Henry Cromwell, grandfather of Oliver Cromwell. The current building was built as a private house in the early 18th century. In 1804, it became the Fulham House School for Girls having been let to the Misses Fleming, then let to the Loves, and from 1840, let to the Misses King who ran the school for 40 years. In 1879, the house was purchased by the local builder Parkins Hammond Jones, and the family lived there until 1902 when it was acquired by the commanding officer of the 26th Middlesex (Cyclist) Rifle Volunteer Corps for use as the headquarters of his unit. The 26th Middlesex (Cyclist) Rifle Volunteer Corps evolved to become the 25th (County of London) Cyclist Battalion in 1908. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front. When the London Regiment was broken up in 1937, the battalion became part of the 47th (2nd London) Divisional Signals, Royal Signals. After the Second World War, the drill hall became the headquarters of the 23rd (Southern) Corps Signal Regiment. Once the Royal Signals left the site, the drill hall was occupied by B (Queen's Royal Rifles) Company of the 4th Battalion the Royal Green Jackets in 1967. This unit was re-formed at Fulham as F (Royal Green Jackets) Company, The London Regiment in 1999. F Company was disbanded in 2004. In 2006 the regimental headquarters of the Royal Yeomanry and its command and support squadron, the Westminster Dragoons, moved to Fulham House. As of 2014 its drill hall still housed the war memorial for the world wars for the London Scottish. References
George and Devonshire

The George and Devonshire is a Grade II listed public house at Burlington Lane, Chiswick, London. It was built in the 18th century, but the architect is not known. The pub claims that it dates back to 1650. In the 17th century, the pub on this site was named "The George", probably after Saint George, England's patron saint. John Thompson's brewery, forerunner of the nearby Griffin Brewery, acquired the building in 1791. By 1826, the pub had been renamed to "The George and Devonshire", after the Duke of Devonshire who owned the nearby Chiswick House. It is his coat of arms that now adorns the building. The pub is the last in the former Old Chiswick village by the river Thames. A legend tells that smugglers of rum had a secret passageway from the pub's cellar to the cottages that once lined the Thames below St Nicholas Church. The pub serves beer from the Griffin Brewery next door. References
Grand Entrance to Birkenhead Park

The Grand Entrance to Birkenhead Park is at the northeast entrance to Birkenhead Park in Birkenhead, Wirral, Merseyside, England. It consists of three arches flanked by lodges and is in Ionic style. The entrance was designed by Lewis Hornblower, with amendments by Joseph Paxton, the designer of the park. The park, and its entrance, were opened in 1847. The Grand Entrance is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. History Birkenhead Park was the first park in the world to be developed from public funds. It was designed by Joseph Paxton and its construction was supervised by Edward Kemp. Paxton appointed Lewis Hornblower to design the Grand Entrance. His plans were accepted by the Road and Improvement Committee in May 1845, but Paxton was not happy with them and made changes. The Grand Entrance was built by John and William Walker of Birkenhead between 1845 and 1847. The park, with its Grand Entrance, was opened on 5 April 1847 by Lord Morpeth, on the same day that Birkenhead Docks were opened. Description The Grand Entrance is built in ashlar stone, and is in Ionic style. It consists of three arches flanked by a pair of lodges. The central arch is the largest, and contains a carriageway, and on either side there are smaller arches for pedestrians. The whole structure is about 19 metres (62 ft) high. The central arch is flanked by pairs of unfluted columns, and above it is a decorative attic containing the arms of the town and the date. The lodges are identical, in two storeys, and with three bays separated by pilasters. They have sash windows, and at the tops there are balustraded parapets. Appraisal The Grand Entrance was designated as a Grade II* listed building on 29 June 1950. Grade II* is the middle of the three grades and is granted to "particularly important buildings of more than special interest". Hartwell and colleagues comment in the Buildings of England series that it is "grand indeed". The park itself is designated at Grade I in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. It influenced the design of Central Park in New York, which opened in 1858. See also Grade II* listed buildings in Merseyside Listed buildings in Birkenhead References Citations Sources
