Aldershot Town Hall

Aldershot Town Hall is a municipal building in Grosvenor Road, Aldershot, Hampshire, England. The town hall, which was the headquarters of Aldershot Borough Council, is a Grade II listed building. History Following significant population growth associated with the rebuilding of the barracks to create Marlborough, Stanhope and Wellington Lines in 1890, the area became an urban district in 1896. In this context, the new council decided to procure a dedicated town hall; the site they selected was open land to the west of Grosvenor Road. The new building was designed by Charles E. Hutchinson in the Edwardian Baroque style, built in red brick with Bath stone dressings and was completed in 1904. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with seven bays facing onto Grosvenor Road; the central section of three bays, which slightly projected forward and benefited from an extra storey, featured an arched doorway on the ground floor and an elaborate centrepiece involving carved panels between the sash windows on first and second floors, flanked by Ionic order pilasters with an segmental canopy above. Extensive municipal gardens were laid out to the south east of the town hall and were opened at the same time. After the town was advanced to the status of municipal borough in 1922, a cenotaph commemorating the lives of service personnel who had died in the First World War was unveiled in the municipal gardens by the Duke of Gloucester on 18 March 1925. On 21 April 1954, a military parade took place in front of the town hall to mark the centenary of the creation of Aldershot as the first permanent training camp for the British Army. The salute was taken by the mayor, Alderman Frederic Stay, supported by the General Officer Commanding, Aldershot Command, Major-General Sir Alexander Campbell. The building continued to serve as the headquarters of Aldershot Borough Council for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Rushmoor Council was formed with its offices in Farnborough in 1974. The building was converted for use as a magistrates' court in 1981 and then converted again for use as offices for the Social Services Department of Hampshire County Council in 1992. The county council left the building in November 2017 and Rushmoor Council started work on converting the town hall into a hub for companies operating in the digital and computer games sector in March 2020.

St Mary's Church, Laverstoke

St Mary's Church, Laverstoke is a parish church in the Church of England in Laverstoke, Hampshire. The church is to the east of Laverstoke village, near the small village of Freefolk. It was built in 1896 to designs of the architect John Loughborough Pearson. It was constructed in flint with Bath stone dressings. It has a steeple on the south side containing a chapel. Pevsner is fairly scathing about the design by Pearson, saying "not a church to do him much credit...Nothing is vaulted, and the only a little more than humdrum feature inside is the wall-passage or detached shafting in the chancel's wall." Organ The pipe organ by Wordsworth and Maskell dates from 1896. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. References
Alton Town Hall

Alton Town Hall is a municipal building in the Market Square in Alton, Hampshire, England. The structure, which is the meeting place of Alton Town Council, is a Grade II listed building. History The first such structure in Alton was a medieval guildhall which dated back at least to the early 15th century. The court rolls indicate that, by the 17th century, the structures in the Market Square included a cage, stocks and whipping post. The current building was financed by public subscription and was a reconstruction of an existing building: it was designed by in the neoclassical style, built in red brick with coloured rendering and was completed in 1813. The building, which was extended in 1840, was arcaded on the ground floor so that markets could be held, with an assembly room on the first floor. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with six bays facing onto the west side of the Market Square: this elevation featured five sash windows on the first floor. There were quoins at the corners and a modillioned cornice at roof level. The building became the meeting place of the local board after it was formed in 1860 and it was the venue for the trial of Frederick Baker, accused of the murder of Fanny Adams, in December 1867: Baker was found guilty and hanged outside Winchester Gaol later that month. After significant population growth, partly due to its status as a market town, the area became an urban district with the town hall as its headquarters in 1894. A fire station was established on the ground floor in the early 1920s. The town hall continued to serve as the offices and meeting place of the urban district council but ceased to be the local seat of government when the council acquired an early 18th century residential property in the High Street and converted it for municipal use in 1934. The council also established a new purpose-built fire station on an adjacent site at the corner with Cross and Pillory Lane at the same time. Concerts and other events that were held to raise funds for the Wings for Victory Week during the Second World War. Following local government reorganisation in 1974, the town hall became the offices and meeting place of Alton Town Council; an extensive programme of refurbishment works, which involved the conversion of the ground floor into retail units, was completed in 1987. A square wooden cupola, with clock and weather vane, was subsequently installed on the roof to recognise the work of Ewart Ings, the last town clerk of the urban district council. Notes References
Carlton Cinema, Westgate-on-Sea

The Carlton Cinema, in Westgate-on-Sea, Kent, England dates from 1910. The extension of the railway into East Kent in 1871 led to the creation of a number of seaside resorts along the Kent coast to the west of Margate. Westgate-on-Sea was built in the 1870 by the London-based developers Corbett & McClymont. In 1910, a town hall was constructed but within 2 years, the building had been converted into a cinema. Originally named the Town Hall Cinema, it was renamed the Carlton in the 1930s. It remains a, privately owned, functioning cinema and is a Grade II listed building. History and description The north-east Kent coast had been a popular holiday resort for Londoners since the establishment of Margate as one of England's first seaside resorts in the early 18th century. The 1860s saw the completion of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway with its terminal at Margate opening in 1863. This led to the construction of a number of resorts along the Kent coast to the west of Margate, including Westgate-on-Sea. Developed by the firm of Corbett & McClymont, which had a large property development and construction business in West London, many of the buildings in the town were designed by the company architect Charles Beazley. The town hall does not have a recorded architect but was built in 1910. Within two years, it had been converted to a cinema and it remains a privately run cinema a century later. In 1987, the Carlton won the British cinema industry’s “Cinema of the Year” award. John Newman, in his Kent: Northeast and East Pevsner, describes the Carlton as "an extraordinary mélange of disparate motifs". A central, crenellated clock tower is flanked by two-storey, gabled wings with chimneystacks of an "outsized" Tudoresque appearance. Beneath the clock face is a statue of a trumpeting angel. To the rear is a range of windows in a Moorish Revival style. Margate's Civic society describes the overall architectural effect as "Swiss-Gothic". The cinema is a Grade II listed building.

Christ Church, Emery Down

Christ Church is a Church of England church in Emery Down, Hampshire, England. Designed by William Butterfield, it was constructed between 1863 and 1864. The church has been a Grade II listed building since 1987. History Christ Church was built to serve the scattered parts of the parish of Lyndhurst, including the hamlets of Emery Down and Bank. Although the parish church, St Michael and All Angels, had opened shortly beforehand, replacing an earlier church, it was considered unable to comfortably accommodate the entire congregation and was also criticised for being drafty and cold. As a resident of Emery Down, Admiral Frederick Moore Boultbee recognised the need for a church and funded the construction of Christ Church entirely at his own expense. The church cost approximately £1,300 to build, and the Admiral also provided an endowment of £1,700. The plans for the church were drawn up by William Butterfield of London, with Messrs. Hillary of Andover hired as the builders. Construction began in mid-1863, and the church was consecrated by the Bishop of Winchester, the Right Rev. Charles Sumner, on 26 May 1864. With the completion of the church, Emery Down became a separate ecclesiastical parish distinct from Lyndhurst. Architecture Christ Church is built of local brick with Bath stone dressings and a tiled roof. Red brick is predominately used, with some diapering using blue brick. Designed to accommodate 165 persons, the church is made up of a nave, chancel, organ chamber, vestry and north-west porch. There is a bellcote containing a single bell at the west end. The floor of the nave is laid with red and black squared tiles, and the chancel laid with encaustic tiles from Mintons. Fittings include the pews of stained deal, the lectern and altar table of oak, and the pulpit, which is placed on a pedestal of Bath stone. A wall tablet was installed in the church in 1915 in memory of Admiral Boultbee, who died in 1876. References
St Peter's Church, Winchester

St Peter's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Winchester, England. It was built in 1924 and designed by Frederick Walters in the Gothic revival style. It is situated on Jewry Street, backing onto St Peter's Street, next to Milner Hall, in the centre of Winchester. It is a Grade II listed building. History Foundation After the English Reformation there is recorded evidence of a Catholic community in Winchester. In 1575, Cardinal Allen wrote that there were sufficient Catholics in Winchester to constitute the only'district' in south England. Mass was said in My Lady West's House in Fishmonger Street between 1579 and 1583. The building is now the Royal Hotel. Later the house was owned by Roger Corham, he built a residence for a priest called St Peter's House. Above the ground floor of the residence was a chapel. From 1740, a separate chapel was built in the garden of the residence. In 1779, John Milner, later Bishop Milner, became the resident priest in Winchester. In 1784, he paid for an extension to be built onto the chapel. Later, he rebuilt the chapel in the Gothic revival style. The architect was his friend John Carter and the chapel was consecrated on 5 December 1792. The building still exists, it is called Milner Hall, was restored in 1986 and acts as the parish hall next to the church. Construction In 1924, building work started on St Peter's Church. It was designed by Frederick Walters, who was the architect of many churches in south England. The church cost £23,000, was built by the Hussellwhite of Basingstoke construction firm and was opened on 15 July 1926. Twelve years later, on 22 September 1938, the church was consecrated. Developments The stained glass windows in the chancel and south chapel were built by Burlison and Grylls. In the lady chapel, the windows were designed by Arthur Edward Buss (1905–1999). In 1968, a presbytery was built next door to the church. In 1986, this presbytery became a parish centre when a new priest's residence was constructed elsewhere. Parish St Peter's Church is in the same parish as four other churches: St Gregory the Great Church in New Alresford has its Sunday Mass at 11:00am, St Margaret of Scotland Church in Tichborne, St Stephen's Church in Olivers Battery has its Sunday Mass at 9:15am and St Thomas More Church in Stockbridge has its Sunday Mass at 9:00am.

St Peter's Church, Warmsworth

St Peter's Church is the parish church of Warmsworth, south-west of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, in England. The original St Peter's Church was mediaeval. It was restored in the Georgian period and rebuilt in the Victorian era. In 1939, a new St Peter's Church was commissioned by Reverend Herbert Raison, on a site half a mile from the original, and was funded by selling the old site. The church was designed by Brundell & Faran, and built by P. P. Taylor. It was consecrated in 1942; the National Churches Trust claims that it was the only church in England to be consecrated during the Second World War. It was mentioned in a propaganda broadcaster by William Joyce. In 2003, the church was Grade II listed. The church is built of brick, which is painted and rendered, leading to the local nickname of the "White Church". The roof is covered in blue and green pantiles. The church has a wide nave, with a west porch, and a chancel with an octagonal dome. To the left of the chancel is the Lady Chapel, and to the right is the vestry. The porch has triple arched doorways, and most of the windows are narrow and round-headed. The vestry has a brick chimney stack. Inside the church, there are stairs up to a west gallery, which contained a 19th-century organ. Items brought from the old church include a poor box and 19th century stone font. The nave has a wood block floor in a herringbone pattern, and there are a wooden pulpit and lectern, and painted wooden pews. There are marble steps up from the nave to the sanctuary, and again up to the altar. The altar is faced in similar marble, and there are 1930s statues of Christ, Mary, and St Peter. The Lady Chapel contained various fragments from the old church, including tombstones and memorial tablets, and a mediaeval piscina.
