Grimsby Minster

Das zur Church of England gehörende Grimsby Minster in der ostenglischen Hafenstadt Grimsby ist dem Apostel Jakobus dem Älteren (Saint James) geweiht. Der seit 1951 als Grade-I-Baudenkmal eingestufte Kirchenbau erhielt im Jahr 2010 den offiziellen Status eines Minsters; außerdem gehört er zum Major Churches Network. Lage Die Fischereistadt Grimsby und ihre Pfarrkirche liegen auf dem Südufer des Humber-Ästuars in die Nordsee in einer Höhe von etwa 6 bis 10 m. Geschichte Das Grimsby Minster war seit seiner Gründung die Pfarrkirche der durch Fischerei wohlhabend gewordenen Gemeinde. Im Jahr 1114 wurde ein älterer Kirchenbau an Robert Blouet, den Lordkanzler und Siegelbewahrer von England in den Jahren 1092/93 und damaligen Bischof von Lincoln, übergeben. Dieser vergrößerte den Bau, der jedoch erst im 14./15. Jahrhundert durch die Aufstockung des Vierungsturms und den Anbau von zwei Seitenschiffen und einen neuen Chor sein heutiges Aussehen erhielt. Die Veränderungen sind an den Fenstern deutlich abzulesen. In der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde die Kirche grundlegend restauriert. Architektur Grundlage des heutigen Baus war die eher schlichte normannische Kirche, die jedoch im Innern über ein Emporengeschoss verfügte. Langhaus, Querhaus und Chor haben eher einfache Holzgewölbe mit Zugbalken; die Seitenschiffgewölbe sind etwas komplizierter konstruiert. Ausstattung Die Kirche enthält das arg verwitterte Kenotaph-Grabmal von Sir Thomas Haslerton aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, der die Rüstung und Kleidung eines Ritters trägt und dessen Füße auf einem liegenden Löwen ruhen; die Buntfenster stammen allesamt aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Ein Denkmal erinnert an 810 im Ersten Weltkrieg gefallene Soldaten des 10th Service Battalions, die „Grimsby Chums“. Sämtliche Soldaten wurden in Grimsby und dessen Nachbarorten rekrutiert. Am 1. Juli 1916, dem ersten Tag der Schlacht an der Somme gehörten die Grimsby Chums zur ersten Angriffswelle auf die befestigte Stadt Ovillers-la-Boisselle, südlich der Straße von Albert nach Bapaume. Zur Unterstützung des Angriffs wurde am 1. Juli um 7 Uhr 28 eine enorme Mine gesprengt, die den heute noch bestehenden Lochnagar-Krater hinterließ. Um 7 Uhr 30 besetzten die Grimsby Chums den Krater. Viele Soldaten lagen für den Rest des Tages in diesem Krater unter deutschem und britischem Beschuss.

Grimsby Minster

Grimsby Minster es una minster anglicana situada en la localidad de Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, Inglaterra. El templo también conocido como iglesia de Santiago o iglesia de San Jacobo (en inglés: Church of St James), y está clasificado al edificio de grado I.​ Historia En 1114, un edificio religioso existente fue transferido a Robert Bloet, el obispo de Lincoln. En los años siguientes supervisó muchas renovaciones y desarrollos del edificio, los que resultaron en la iglesia de Santiago, un templo que contiene una nave con seis tramos. La torre central se añadió en 1365. En 1586, el templo se convirtió en la iglesia parroquial de Grimsby, después de que John Whitgift hubiera unido las parroquias de Santiago y de Santa María. La iglesia parroquial de Santa María había sido ubicada en la calle Victoria. En 1856, Canon Ainslie comenzó una restauración completa de la iglesia, que incluyó el alargamiento del presbiterio y la reconstrucción del transepto sur. Los trabajos posteriores incluyeron la instalación de nuevas ventanas con tracería de piedra y la instalación de nuevos techos de roble. El siguiente evento clave en la historia de la iglesia fue la apertura del James College en 1883. El predecesor de la escuela de Santiago de hoy, fue fundada por Canon Young. Fue la única escuela coral en el Reino Unido que se adjuntó a una iglesia parroquial hasta la reestructuración del coro en septiembre de 2013 por Anthony Pinel, abriendo la membresía del coro a niños y niñas de cualquier escuela local.​ La noticia de que a la iglesia se le concedería el estatus de minster se anunció en Grimsby Telegraph el 15 de abril de 2010.​ El domingo, 16 de mayo de 2010, se llevó a cabo la ceremonia de minster-making, que fue dirigida por el obispo de Lincoln y el obispo de Grimsby.​ El alcalde de North East Lincolnshire, John Colebrook, aceptó la declaración oficial del estatus de Minster en nombre del borough.

Grimstone Viaduct

Grimstone Viaduct is a railway bridge at Grimstone (near Dorchester) in Dorset, south-western England. It carries the Heart of Wessex Line over a road junction off the A37 road. It is directly north of the site of the closed Grimstone and Frampton railway station. History The viaduct was built for the Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth Railway (WSWR) whose line provided a connection between the ports of Bristol (on the west coast) and Weymouth on the south. The WSWR was under the influence of the Great Western Railway (GWR). Thus, the viaduct was designed by the GWR's chief engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It opened in 1857. Description The bridge is built in a classical style. It carries the railway over a road junction just off the A37 road and a stream. It consists of three arches—the central arch, spanning the road, is round-headed and much the largest. It is flanked by a smaller arch on each side, one of which spans Sydling Water, a minor river. The piers of the main arch contain four relieving arches, all round-headed and similar to the flanking arches; the outer arches are heavier and square. The whole structure is built from blocks of stone and faced with rock. The arches have ashlar stone voussoirs, above which is a moulded cornice and band course (a line of decorative stonework), surmounted by a low parapet. The surrounding embankment is retained by substantial wing walls, curved and coped to form a revetment. The viaduct is a Grade II listed building, first designated on 20 May 1985. Listed status provides it with legal protection. References

Christ's College (formerly "Grindon Hall Christian School") is a free school located in Sunderland, in the North East of England. It is non-selective and includes a Primary Department and a Secondary Department. This arrangement allows the incorporation of students from 4 years old to 16 years old. It is a family-run school, based on Christianity, although it welcomes children from other faiths. There are approximately 540 children in the school as of 2013/14. Grindon Hall was originally a manor house. It became a sanitorium and later Fulwell Grange Christian School, which became Grindon Hall Christian School in the year 2000. Fulwell Grange Christian School was founded by Elizabeth Gray in 1988. Her son, Christopher Gray, became head teacher following her retirement. She has since become a school governor. Previously a private school, Grindon Hall became a free school in 2012 and is now state-funded and free to attend. In September 2019, the school was renamed as part of its transition to join the Emmanuel Schools Foundation Buildings and grounds The school comprises a number of different buildings. One is the original Grindon Hall building, and this is used for the Secondary Department. An extension was added in 2001–2002, called the T-Block, which housed changing facilities and two classrooms. The Grade II listed Stable Block was converted in order to be used as the Primary Department, along with 2 modular buildings. The Nursery Department is one modular building. There is a front field which incorporates a rugby pitch, and in addition to this, there is a back yard, for use in wet weather and before school. The size of the estate is approximately 9 acres (36,000 m2). Since becoming a free school, Grindon Hall has undergone various changes to its buildings which were completed for the 2013–14 school year. The aforementioned T-Block has been demolished, and in its place an extension, comprising a sports hall, changing facilities and dining hall. The extension also includes a 14-classroom primary school, replacing the Stable Block as the Primary Department. The Stable Block is now used as additional classrooms for the Secondary Department. The new Cabins are For the Secondary Department alongside another modular building used for DT(design and technology) Academics Grindon Hall used to host an annual Awards Evening at The Sage Gateshead where pupils from both lower- and upper-school were recognised for achievement in various areas of school life. Since around 2016 this has been held in the school sports hall. House system Pupils are assigned to one of the school's two (now three, as of 2017) house teams when they join the school. Pupils can gather points for their house team throughout the year by performing well academically, participating in organised house events, and from collecting praise points from teachers.

Grosvenor Chapel

La chapelle Grosvenor, en anglais Grosvenor Chapel, est une église située dans la cité de Westminster, à Londres. Situation et accès L’église est située au no 24 de South Audley Street, dans le quartier de Mayfair. Le site est desservi par la ligne Central à la station de métro Marble Arch. Origine du nom L’église doit son nom à la famille Grosvenor (dont le nom vient du français « grand veneur »). Elle était connue, à l’origine, sous l’appellation Audley Chapel. Historique Entre 1720 et 1740, le terrain compris entre Regent Street et Park Lane est aménagé par la famille Grosvenor, qui l’a acquis par mariage en 1677. Cet aménagement entraîne un afflux de population, qui nécessite la construction de lieux de culte. La première pierre de la chapelle est posée le 7 avril 1730 par Richard Grosvenor, grand propriétaire terrien. L’église est construite par une équipe composée des charpentiers Benjamin Timbrell et Robert Scott et du maçon William Barlow. Elle est terminée et ouverte en avril 1731. L’intérieur est redessiné en 1912 par l’architecte John Ninian Comper. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les forces armées américaines y tiennent leur propre office dominical. L’église est jumelée à Grace Church de New York. Description Plusieurs auteurs soulignent la ressemblance entre Grosvenor Chapel et les petites églises de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Au cinéma La scène du mariage au début de Love Actually, film de Richard Curtis sorti en 2003, est tournée dans l’église. Bibliographie Donald Findlay, A Short History and Description.

Groucho Club

The Groucho Club is a private members' club based in London, England. It was founded in 1985 and located on Dean Street in Soho. The majority of club members are mainly drawn from the publishing, media, entertainment and arts industries. The club's facilities include three bars, two restaurants, a snooker room, an enclosed terrace, 17 bedrooms for members or their guests and four event rooms, which are available for hire. History The club opened on 5 May 1985. Its name is a reference to Groucho Marx saying he did not want to be a member of any club that would have him. The club was owned by Graphite Capital from 2006 to 2015, when it was sold to a group of investors led by Isfield Investments and Alcuin Capital Partners. In 2022, the Groucho Club was purchased through Manuela and Iwan Wirth's Art Farm, which owns a group of boutique hotels and restaurants, for £40 million. In March 2024, the club announced that it would be opening its inaugural branch outside of London at Bretton Hall near Wakefield in Yorkshire. In November 2024, the club's license was suspended by Westminster City Council as a result of a criminal investigation. During the closure, CEO Elli Jafari stepped down after 10 months in the role. Simon Cooke, former Managing Director of Ronnie Scott's Club, has taken over as interim managing director. The reopening introduced updated guest sign-in procedures, requiring digital registration through the Groucho app to enhance safety and security.

Grove Park (Sutton)

The Grove Park, or The Grove is a public park in Carshalton in the London Borough of Sutton. It is situated close to Carshalton Village in the area approximately bounded by the High Street, North Street and Mill Lane. The southwest corner of the park abuts one of Carshalton's ponds (Lower Pond) from where water flows through the park as the river Wandle. History The park land was in mediaeval times part of the manor of Stone Court, then consisting mainly of meadows. The manor house was situated at the corner of North Street and Mill Lane. The original Tudor house was re-built in about 1710; recently (2005) there was an archaeological investigation into the remains of this building. In the early 19th century a new house called The Grove was built on the other side of the river on higher ground and is the large house seen today. The remaining outbuildings of Stone Court were converted to what are now education department offices. The Grove, including the ornamental gardens, was bought by Carshalton Urban District Council in 1924 and the park was opened to the public several years later. Features of interest The Leoni Bridge Where Grove Park meets the Lower Pond there is a white Portland stone bridge. This is sometimes referred to as the Leoni Bridge as it is conjectured that the Venetian architect Giacomo Leoni designed it. Leoni had been commissioned to design a new mansion for Carshalton Park during the early 18th century, but the mansion itself was never constructed. The Grove House The house's early history is obscure, but it is shown on an 1847 map and so precedes this date. The building is now occupied by departments of the London Borough of Sutton. Upper Mill It is likely that a watermill existed here from Anglo-Saxon times, although much of the current structure is a recent restoration (2004) carried out after a fire. The Cascade The cascade is near the footbridge towards the Stone Court corner of the park. The 1.5m fall is now ornamental in design and was reconstructed in the 1960s. The original purpose was to create a head of water to power Upper Mill, which is nearby. Recreation To the east of The Grove House there are recreation grounds extending as far as the Westcroft Leisure Centre. There is an enclosed children's playground, miniature golf, cafeteria, ball court, bowling green and other facilities. Transport The park is a short walk from Carshalton railway station, turning left on exit. The park is also on the route of Transport for London buses 127 and 157, alighting at the Carshalton Ponds stop. See also Carshalton Park Oaks Park References External links Map of area from Streetmap
