St Mary's Church, Snettisham

St Mary's Church is the parish church of Snettisham in the English county of Norfolk. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The church is late-14th-century Decorated and partly later reconstruction. It is Grade I listed. History The church was built in the late 14th century in the Decorated style, a phase of English Gothic architecture characterised by elaborate window tracery and rich ornamentation. The listing description suggests that it is the best example of a Decorated church in Norfolk. It is built from flint with stone dressings and a stone spire. The spire reaches to 175 feet (53 m) and was traditionally a navigation feature for mariners in The Wash. The tower with spire is above the transept crossing. The design was originally cruciform: the 40-foot-long chancel was demolished by Sir Wymond Carye before 1600, and the north transept was reduced in 1597. There is a galilee porch to the west. The church was restored by Frederick Preedy in 1856. During the First World War, the church sustained damage from a bombing raid by the German Navy Zeppelin L 4 on 19 January 1915. A bomb landed nearby, reportedly striking part of the structure. Features There is a 15th-century pulpit, with painted panels; the font is also 15th-century. Bells The church has a ring of six bells, originally dating from 1710 and cast by Thomas Newman. In 1958 they were overhauled and three of the six were recast by John Taylor & Co. A 13th-century sanctus bell is also displayed in the church. Stained glass windows Stained glass in the east window was installed by Frederick Preedy in 1855–56. This was destroyed by a Zeppelin bomb in WWI. It was replaced by Percy Bacon Brothers in 1920. That window is a five-light depiction of the Crucifixion. The west window is six-lights, depicting scenes from the Old Testament, and is an early work by William Warrington, dating from before 1850. The windows in the nave are by Preedy, M & A O'Connor, and Burlison & Grylls, with a modern 3-light window by Paul Jeffries of G King & Son, depicting the Blessed Virgin with the symbols of the four gospel writers. Organ The organ dates from 1885 and was made by Alfred Kirkland. Christ Church Cathedral, Fredericton, New Brunswick The Anglican diocese of Fredericton in New Brunswick was established in 1845, with John Medley as its first bishop. Medley chose St Mary's, Snettisham, as the model for the new Fredericton cathedral. Before leaving England, Medley hired the Exeter architect Frank Wills to visit St Mary's and make detailed plans, which Medley had with him when he arrived in Fredericton. With additional work by William Butterfield, the cathedral was consecrated in 1853. Parish activities There are annual illuminations of the church each December. References
Hollin Hall, Littlethorpe

Hollin Hall is a historic building in Littlethorpe, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The building was constructed in the late 17th century, probably for William Thomson, replacing an earlier building. It was originally named Hollin Close Hall. It was altered in about 1811, at which time it was owned by Richard Wood, who shortened its name to "Hollin Hall". The building was grade II* listed in 1967. The main ranges of the house are constructed of stuccoed and painted red brick, with stone dressings, quoins, and stone slate roofs, and the outbuildings in brick and stone with pantile roofs. The plan is complicated, and consists of a main range with two storeys and an L-shaped plan, with an entrance front of five bays, and a south front of six bays, a two-storey L-shaped service wing to the north, and an L-shaped range of outbuildings with one and two storeys further to the north. The middle bay of the entrance front projects under a pediment containing an oeil-de-boeuf, and the outer bays also project. In the centre is a portico with paired Tuscan columns carrying an entablature, a cornice and a blocking course. There is a floor band and a dentilled eaves cornice, and the windows are sashes. Inside, there are some carved wooden fireplaces, elaborate plasterwork, some 17th century panelling, and a hidden staircase leading to an attic room.

The Wakeman's House

The Wakeman's House is a historic building in Ripon, a city in Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed as a house in the 16th or early 17th century, facing onto High Skellgate. In about 1600, the entrance was altered to face onto the Market Square, and over time most of the building was demolished, leaving one wing standing. It was traditionally considered to have been the house of Hugh Ripley, the last Wakeman of Ripon, who in 1604 became the city's first mayor. In 1917, the remaining wing was under threat of demolition, but was purchased by the city council and restored, with a kitchen added at the rear. The council opened the building as a museum, and stripped the plaster from the front, to expose the timber frame. The building was Grade II* listed in 1949. After the museum closed, the building served successively as a tea shop, a tourist information centre, the offices of the Ripon Improvement Trust, a dress shop, and then a tea shop again. In 2000, the kitchen was demolished, and public toilets were constructed on the site. The building has two main storeys and an attic. It is timber-framed throughout, with a stone slate roof. The front of the building has oriel windows on both floors, while the attic has a window in its gable end. Inside, the staircase has balusters with a pattern of circles and rectangles. A local tradition claims that the building is haunted by the ghost of Hugh Ripley, even though he never lived in the building. When it reopened in the 1920s after restoration, there was a ceremony at which the city hornblower performed. Several members of the crowd claimed to have seen the ghost at an upstairs window.

Thorpe Prebend House

Thorpe Prebend House is a historic building in Ripon, a city in North Yorkshire, in England. The oldest part of the building is the east wing, which was built in 1517. It is likely that it was an extension to an older building, to the west, which was replaced by a new hall and west wing, in 1584. In the mid 17th century, it was largely rebuilt in brick. The windows and doors were altered in the 18th and 19th centuries. Originally built to house the prebend of Littlethorpe, the house is recorded as having been used for casting bells at one time before being restored to house Marmaduke Bradley, the last abbot of Fountains Abbey. It is said to have later been used to entertain both James VI and I and Charles I of England. In 1914, it became Ripon Museum, which closed in 1956; the building was later restored to serve as the minster's interpretative centre. The building has been grade II* listed since 1949. Part of the house has a timber framed core, later encased or replaced in brick and roughcast, and the house has roofs of pantile and stone slate with coped gables on cut kneelers. There are two storeys and attics, a main range of four bays, and flanking wings projecting to the south. The doorway is on the north front and has a Tuscan surround. The west wing has French windows, a two-storey canted bay window and dormers, and elsewhere are sash and casement windows. Inside, the hall fireplace is 17th century, as is the reset panelling in the west wing. The elm staircase is 18th century, as is much of the woodwork in the room above the hall.

Octagon Tower

The Octagon Tower is a historic structure at Studley Royal, a World Heritage Site in North Yorkshire, in England. The tower was built between 1728 and 1732, probably as a viewing platform. It was commissioned by John Aislabie, and designed by Robert Doe, probably in the neoclassical style. In the 1740s, its appearance was altered to the gothic style, and it may have been at this time that the external steps were added. The building was grade II* listed in 1967, but was ruinous at the time. In 1976, it was restored by North Yorkshire County Council, replacing about 40% of the stonework, all the windows and plaster. It is also a scheduled monument. The tower is built of stone, has an octagonal plan, and three stages on a deep plinth. The entrance on the east side is approached by eight steps flanked by outward curving walls with pointed coping and piers with ball finials. The doors have a porch with buttresses containing arched niches. In the bottom stage are round-arched sash windows with moulded hood moulds, and the middle stage contains recesses with pointed arches. In the top stage are quatrefoil openings, above which is a parapet and crocketed finials.

St Andrew's Church, Northwold

St Andrew's Church is an active Church of England parish church in the village of Northwold, Norfolk, England. It is a Grade I listed building. History The village of Northwold was the birthplace of Hugh of Northwold at the end of the 12th century. Hugh became Bishop of Ely in 1229. Known as a considerable church benefactor, he was the likely driver of the early church at Northwold. St Andrew's dates from the 13th century. The chancel was added in the 14th. The tower dates from the later 15th century. The church was partially reconstructed and enlarged in the Victorian era. In the 19th century, the rector was Charles Manners Richard Norman, of the family of the Dukes of Rutland. He married Caroline Angerstein, daughter of John Julius Angerstein, a marine insurer and reputedly one of the richest commoners in England. In 2018, an attempt to steal the lead from the church roof was thwarted by the church’s security measures. Repairs to the roof and to the church fabric were carried out the same year. The church remains an active parish church in the Benefice of Grimshoe within the Diocese of Ely. It is home to a colony of bats, housed in a specially-constructed bat house. Architecture The church is built of flint, which is partially rendered. The nave and aisles are of the 13th century, the chancel of the 14th and the tower of the 15th. There is a hammerbeam roof. The most notable feature of the interior is the Easter Sepulchre. Bill Wilson, in his 2002 revised edition of Norfolk 2: North-West and South, in the Pevsner Buildings of England series, notes its "lavish composition", although he also records its poor state of preservation. Listing designations St Andrew's is a Grade I listed building. The churchyard contains a number of notable 18th century headstones, 13 of which are Grade II listed structures.

St John's Church, Bilton

St John's Church is the parish church of Bilton, a suburb of Harrogate in North Yorkshire. The church was constructed between 1851 and 1857, to a design by George Gilbert Scott. It is in the Early English style, and cost about £10,000 (equivalent to £1,207,016 in 2025). The work was funded entirely by William Sheepshanks, with his son becoming the first vicar. In 1858, the church was given its own parish. Although it was built with an organ installed, it proved too loud for many services, and a smaller organ was added in 1860. The church was reordered in about 1970, and in 1975 it was grade II* listed. The church is built of gritstone, with stone dressings in a contrasting colour, and a green slate roof with corbelled eaves. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel and a west tower. The aisle windows are lancets, in the clerestory are two-light windows, and at the east end are three tall lancets.

Blackburn Hall

Blackburn Hall is a historic building in Grinton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building lies on the north side of the churchyard of St Andrew's Church, Grinton. It originated in the Mediaeval period as "Nether Hall", probably lodgings for canons from Bridlington Priory, and the cross-wing survives from this period. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it succeeded Swale Hall as home of the local manor house. In 1635, what is now the main body of the house was added. In the mid-18th century, the Blackburne family acquired the manor, and the house thereafter took their name. The house was grade II* listed in 1952. The house is built of stone, with quoins, and a stone slate roof with stone copings and kneelers. There are three storeys, the older part forming a cross-wing to the main range of 1635, and an outshut in the angle. The main range contains a doorway with chamfered stone jambs and a four-centred arched head. Throughout there are chamfered mullioned windows and hood moulds in the form of a pediment. Inside, the main range has a stone staircase and a fireplace with an inscription "EH B 1635". See also Grade II* listed buildings in North Yorkshire (district) Listed buildings in Grinton References

St Andrew's Church, Marks Tey

St Andrew's Church is a Church of England parish church in the Essex village of Marks Tey. It was Grade I listed in 1965. Its nave was built around 1100, using coursed walls of mixed rubble, puddingstone and Roman bricks, possibly from an undiscovered villa in the area. Its chancel was rebuilt around 1330, with a sedilia (recessed stone seating for the clergy), a piscina (a stone basin for washing communion vessels), a mid or late 14th-century chancel arch and a blocked-up doorway to a former rood screen, which would once have supported a cross. The current west tower and small spire are 16th century but may represent a rebuild of one from the later 14th century. Its base is of brick and rubble and the upper two-thirds of timber. The south porch is also 16th century, whilst the font cover is early 17th century. The whole building was restored in the 19th century. A Millennium window, by Susan McCarthy, incorportates various themes reflecting the history of the village and that the Gospel message has not changed.

Old Powder Magazine

The Old Powder Magazine is a historic building in Arkengarthdale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in about 1804, to store gunpowder used in the nearby C. B. lead mines. Named for Charles Bathurst, in 1800 the local mining rights had been transferred to a company based in Newcastle upon Tyne. A large mill was constructed in 1803, along with workshops which still survive, but the powder magazine was constructed in a field a short distance away, in case of explosion. After the closure of the mines and mill, the magazine was used for agriculture. It was grade II* listed in 1966. The single-storey hexagonal building is constructed of rubble, with quoins and a roof of stone slates. On one side is a window, inserted after its use as a magazine ceased, while the other sides have blank windows. The roof has a pyramidal form, and is topped by a finial in the shape of a ball.

Phare de Lundy

Le vieux phare de Lundy (ou Old Light) est un ancien phare situé sur Beacon Hill, le point le plus haut de l'île Lundy dans le canal de Bristol du comté de Devon en Angleterre. Il a été remplacé par le phare nord de Lundy et le phare sud de Lundy. Depuis 1990, il est protégé en tant que monument classé du Royaume-Uni de Grade II* . Histoire Les fondations d'un premier phare sur l'île Lundy ont été posées en 1787, mais le premier phare (maintenant connu sous le nom de Old Light) n'a été construit que lorsque Trinity House a obtenu un bail de 999 ans en 1819. La tour de granit mesure 30 m de haut. Elle a été érigée sur le point le plus haut de l'île et a été conçu par Daniel Asher Alexander et construit par Joseph Nelson. Parce que le site, Beacon Hill, est à 143 m au dessus du niveau de la mer, la plus grande hauteur pour la construction d'un phare en Angleterre, la lumière était souvent obscurci par le brouillard. Pour résoudre ce problème, un signal de brouillard a été construit vers 1861. Le phare possédait deux lumières : une lumière basse émettant une lumière blanche fixe et une lumière haute émettant une lumière blanche rapide clignotante toutes les 60 secondes. Cependant, cette rotation rapide a donné l'impression que ce feu était aussi une lumière fixe sans clignotement détectable. Cela peut avoir contribué au naufrage, à Cefn Sidan (en), de La Jeune Emma, un bateau reliant la Martinique à Cherbourg en 1828. 13 des 19 personnes à bord se sont noyés, dont Adeline Coquelin, la nièce âgée de 12 ans de la femme divorcée de Napoleon Bonaparte Joséphine de Beauharnais. En raison de plaintes consécutives à la difficulté d'apercevoir la lumière dans le brouillard, le phare a été abandonné lorsque les deux autres phares ont été construits et mis en service en 1897. Le vieux phare et les maisons des gardiens sont maintenus ouverts par le Landmark Trust pour des locations de vacances. Identifiant : ARLHS : ENG-073 .
