Minster in Thanet Priory

Minster Abbey is the name of two abbeys in Minster-in-Thanet, Kent, England. The first was a 7th-century foundation which lasted until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Beside its ruins is St Mildred's Priory, a Benedictine community of women founded in 1937. History According to the Kentish Royal Legend, Minster Abbey was a double monastery founded AD 670 by Domne Eafe or Domneva; Eormenburg or Ermenburga is either her original name or that of her sister and all four names are associated with accounts of the early life of the abbey. There has been over a thousand years of potential confusion over the names which is explained in more detail at Domne Eafe and Eormenburg. Cursus Cerve ( St Mildred’s Lynch ) Domne Eafe was the Kentish princess who accepted land for a house of prayer as Weregild for the killing of her brothers Æthelred and Æthelberht. The story is that she was granted as much land as her pet deer could define in a day, whence the deer used to symbolise Minster-in-Thanet. The boundary so defined is shown on mediaeval maps, and has been called the Cursus Cerve or St Mildred’s Lynch. Further history Domne Eafe was succeeded as abbess in about 700 by her daughter Mildrith (Mildred), who was succeeded by Edburga, daughter of King Centwine of the West Saxons. At the end of the eighth century the abbess was Selethryth, sister of King Offa of Mercia, and she was remembered for recovering estates of the abbey which had been seized by Archbishop Wulfred of Canterbury. She was succeeded by Abbess Cwoenthryth. According to late traditions the abbey was sacked by the Vikings in about 855, but at the end of the ninth century Asser wrote in the present tense that "an excellent minster is established on the island". The boundary of the community is mentioned in Charter S 535 of 948. At the Reformation the abbeys were dissolved and Minster Abbey became Crown property. It became a private house until in 1937 it was bought by Benedictine nuns from St Walburga's Abbey in Eichstätt, Bavaria as a refuge from persecution and became a dependent Priory. In 1953 a small relic of St Mildred was returned to Minster from Deventer in the Netherlands. Holy Days 13 July, St Mildred's feast day 19 November, St Ermenburga's feast day 12 December, St Edburga's feast day Visiting Most of the grounds of the abbey are closed to the public, although it is possible to view the outside of the Saxon and Norman wings on guided tours. The abbey's chapel is accessible for private prayer as is the nearby parish church, St Mary the Virgin. There is a train station (Minster railway station) about 350 yards from the abbey.

Mirehouse

Mirehouse is a 17th-century house to the north of Keswick in Cumbria, at the foot of Dodd, near Bassenthwaite Lake and St Bega's Church, on the A591 road. Although still a family home it and its grounds are open to the public and in 1999 won the award for 'Best Heritage Property for Families in the UK'. History Mirehouse was built in 1666 by Charles Stanley, 8th Earl of Derby, who sold it in 1688 to his agent, Roger Greg. The Greg family and then their descendants, the Storys owned the estate until 1802 when Thomas Story left it in his will to John Spedding. The Spedding family, who still own the house, have enlarged the house several times, with the last major changes occurring in the 1960s, when extensive renovation work was carried out, and in the 1980s, when the ground floor and grounds were opened to the public. The grounds now include a bee garden, a wild flower meadow, a "poetry walk", squirrel island and adventure playgrounds. The Spedding family had strong links to a number of poets, including Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Robert Southey, Edward FitzGerald and Thomas Carlyle. In celebration of these poetic links, an annual Poetry competition is now held. References External links The Mirehouse
Kathedrale von Guildford

Die Kathedrale von Guildford ist das geistliche Zentrum der Diözese Guildford der Church of England. Sie liegt in der ca. 50 km südwestlich von London gelegenen Stadt Guildford in der Grafschaft Surrey im Süden Englands und untersteht dem Patrozinium des Heiligen Geistes. Das Bauwerk ist als Grade II-Building eingestuft. Lage Die Kathedrale liegt auf dem Stag Hill, dem höchsten Punkt (ca. 100 m) im Zentrum der Stadt Guildford unweit des River Wey, eines Nebenflusses der Themse. Guildford liegt etwa auf halber Strecke zwischen den traditionsreichen Pilgerstädten Canterbury (ca. 130 km Fahrtstrecke östlich) und Salisbury (ca. 110 km südwestlich). Geschichte Das Bistum Guildford wurde im Jahr 1927 neugeschaffen. Mit dem Bau der Kathedrale wurde jedoch erst im Jahr 1936 begonnen. Mit der Planung und dem Bau wurde Edward Maufe beauftragt, der an mehreren Kirchenneu- und -umbauten in England beteiligt war; die Kathedrale von Guildford gilt jedoch als sein Hauptwerk. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurden die Bauarbeiten unterbrochen; die gestiegenen Baukosten wurden mit dem Verkauf von namentlich gekennzeichneten Ziegelsteinen finanziert. Im Jahr 1961 konnte die Kirche geweiht werden; die Bauarbeiten wurden jedoch erst vier Jahre später abgeschlossen. Architektur Der Kirchenbau ist dreischiffig, wobei die Seitenschiffe äußerst schmal gehalten sind und eigentlich nur als schmuckloser Zugang zum Kirchengestühl genutzt werden können. Sie sind mit dem ebenfalls kreuzgratgewölbten und nur wenig erhöhten Mittelschiff durch hohe oktogonale Stützen ohne Basis und Kapitell verbunden. Der von außen so markante ca. 50 m hohe Vierungsturm wird im Innern der Kirche nur in geringem Maße wirksam; im Turm befinden sich 12 Glocken. Hinter dem flachen Chorschluss befindet sich eine Marienkapelle (Lady Chapel) mit polygonal gebrochener Apsis. Ausstattung Durch die spärliche Ausstattung der Kirche wird die architektonische Wirkung deutlich hervorgehoben.

Cathédrale de Guildford

La cathédrale de Guildford est la cathédrale anglicane de Guildford, en Angleterre. Elle est la seule cathédrale anglicane construite sur un nouveau site dans la province méridionale de l'Angleterre depuis la Réforme anglaise. Guildford a été dotée d'un diocèse à part entière en 1927, et sa nouvelle cathédrale, conçue par Sir Edward Maufe, a été édifiée neuf ans plus tard, avec la première pierre posée par l'archevêque de Canterbury Cosmo Lang en 1936. Sa construction a été interrompue par la Seconde Guerre mondiale entre 1939 et 1952, et elle ne fut consacrée qu'en mai 1961. Dans l'intervalle, l'église de la Sainte-Trinité a été pro-cathédrale.

Гилфордский собор

Гилфордский собор (Собор Святого Духа; англ. Guildford Cathedral) — кафедральный собор Церкви Англии диоцеза Гилфорда. Находится в городе Гилфорд, графство Суррей, Англия. История Созданный в 1927 году диоцез Гилфорда охватывает бо́льшую часть графства Суррей. Ричард Онслоу, 5-й граф Онслоу, пожертвовал первые шесть акров земли, на которых стоит собор, а виконт Беннет, бывший премьер-министр Канады, купил остальную землю и подарил её собору в 1947 году. Строительство собора началось только через 9 лет, в 1936 году. В тендере, устроенном комитетом собора, победил проект Эдварда Мауфа (позже сэр Эдвард Мауф); в том же году Космо Лэнг, архиепископ Кентерберийский заложил первый камень в фундамент. Проект указывал бюджет строительства — 250 000 фунтов стерлингов. Работы начались в 1937 году, но были приостановлены во время Второй мировой войны. К тому времени, когда после войны были сняты ограничения на строительство, от первоначальных 250 000 фунтов стерлингов, ранее собранных на строительство собора, почти не осталось. В 1952 году Уолтер Боултон, который служил в основном в Индии, был назначен настоятелем и пробстом Святой Троицы. Вместе с комитетом собора он возобновил сбор средств, запустив кампанию «Купи кирпич». В 1952—1961 годах более 200 тысяч простых людей заплатили 2 шиллинга (приблизительно эквиваленты 6 фунтам), чтобы написать на кирпиче для собора своё имя или имя другого человека. Королева Елизавета II и принц Филипп, как и другие члены королевской семьи, собственноручно подписали кирпичи, которые теперь выставлены внутри собора. С 1927 года и до открытия собора в 1961 году церковь Святой Троицы выполняла функции прокафедрального собора в Гилфорде. Здание было освящено в присутствии королевы Елизаветы 17 мая 1961 года. К большому разочарованию жителей города Гилфорд и диоцеза, первым деканом Гилфорда стал не Уолтер Боултон, а преподобный Джордж Кларксон. Строительные работы были полностью завершены в 1965 году.

Mitcham Common

Mitcham Common est un terrain communal de 182 hectares situé dans le sud de Londres. Il se trouve principalement dans le quartier londonien de Merton, avec des parties chevauchant les frontières de Croydon et Sutton. Il est désigné site d'importance métropolitaine pour la conservation de la nature. Histoire À l'époque féodale, le sol le plus pauvre et le moins productif d'une paroisse était désigné comme terrain commun disponible pour les paroissiens pour faire paître les animaux et couper le gazon et le bois de chauffage. Les membres de cette communauté avec ces droits étaient connus comme commoners. Cependant, au XIXe siècle, lorsque le matériel pour la construction de routes est devenu une ressource précieuse, l'ancien pâturage a été remplacé par une série de fosses pour l'extraction du gravier. Ces travaux ont atteint une proportion telle que l'opposition du public a abouti à la protection du Common en vertu de la Metropolitan Commons Act et le coût de son entretien a été réparti entre les conseils paroissiaux de Mitcham, Beddington, Wallington et Croydon selon à la proportion du Common dans chaque limite de paroisse. Mitcham, qui fait maintenant partie du Borough londonien de Merton, supporte la majorité des coûts, le reste allant aux arrondissements londoniens de Croydon et Sutton. Géographie et environnement Le cours de la Tamise s'est progressivement modifié, exposant les graviers initialement colonisés par les graminées et autres plantes à fleurs. Au fil du temps, les espèces ligneuses ont lentement submergé ces premiers colonisateurs, développant une végétation broussailleuse lâche qui est devenue plus dense jusqu'à ce que la forêt se soit développée. Les premiers humains étaient responsables de la coupe des arbres et de la suppression de leur régénération en faisant paître le bétail et en coupant le gazon et le bois pour se chauffer. À la fin du XIXe siècle, ces pratiques ont cessé et les bois ont pu se régénérer. Ce processus a permis une succession de prairies, à travers une série d'étapes intermédiaires, à des zones boisées. L'étang des Sept Îles est le plus grand des étangs du Common, et a été créé à la suite de l'extraction de gravier au cours du 19e siècle. L'étang le plus récent à être créé, Bidder's Pond, a été créé en 1990 et porte le nom de George Parker Bidder. Bâtiments Il y a quelques bâtiments sur le Common. Les bâtiments qui composent le Windmill Trading Estate existent sous une forme ou une autre depuis 1782, date à laquelle le domaine a été créé comme lieu de travail pour les pauvres. Les entreprises ayant utilisé les bâtiments comprennent Hooper Telegraph Works. Récemment, le domaine a été remplacé par un ensemble mixte de logements. Le Mill House Ecology Centre et le Harvester (anciennement le Mill House Pub) sont situés près du site d'un ancien moulin à vent, dont les vestiges existent toujours. Il existe également une pierre de granit sculptée en commémoration de George Parker Bidder.

Mitcham Common

Mitcham Common è un terreno comunale di 182 ettari situato nel sud di Londra. Si trova principalmente nel quartiere londinese di Merton, con parti a cavallo dei confini di Croydon e Sutton. È designato sito di importanza metropolitana per la conservazione della natura. Storia In epoca feudale, la terra più povera e meno produttiva di una parrocchia era designata come terra comune a disposizione dei parrocchiani per pascolare animali e tagliare erba e legna da ardere. I membri di questa comunità con questi diritti erano conosciuti come cittadini comuni. Tuttavia, nel XIX secolo, quando il materiale per la costruzione di strade divenne una risorsa preziosa, il vecchio pascolo fu sostituito da una serie di fosse per l'estrazione della ghiaia. Tale lavoro ha raggiunto un livello tale che l'opposizione pubblica ha portato alla protezione del Comune ai sensi del Metropolitan Commons Act e il costo del suo mantenimento è stato condiviso tra i consigli parrocchiali di Mitcham, Beddington, Wallington e Croydon secondo la proporzione del Comune in ogni confine parrocchiale. Mitcham, ora parte del London Borough of Merton, sostiene la maggior parte dei costi, il resto va ai London Boroughs di Croydon e Sutton. Geografia e ambiente Il corso del Tamigi è gradualmente cambiato, esponendo le graminacee inizialmente colonizzate da erbe e altre piante fiorite. Nel corso del tempo, le specie legnose hanno lentamente sopraffatto questi primi colonizzatori, sviluppando una vegetazione cespugliosa che è diventata più fitta fino a quando la foresta è cresciuta. I primi umani erano responsabili dell'abbattimento degli alberi e della soppressione della loro rigenerazione pascolando il bestiame e tagliando erba e legno per riscaldarsi. Alla fine dell'Ottocento queste pratiche cessarono e il bosco riuscì a rigenerarsi. Questo processo ha consentito un susseguirsi di prati, attraverso una serie di fasi intermedie, a zone boschive. Il Seven Islands Pond è il più grande degli stagni del Common ed è stato creato come risultato dell'estrazione di ghiaia nel XIX secolo. Lo stagno più recente realizzato, il Bidder's Pond è stato fondato nel 1990 e prende il nome da George Parker Bidder. Edifici Ci sono alcuni edifici sul Common. Gli edifici che compongono la Windmill Trading Estate esistono in una forma o nell'altra dal 1782, quando la tenuta fu istituita come luogo di lavoro per i poveri. Le aziende che hanno utilizzato gli edifici includono Hooper Telegraph Works. Recentemente la tenuta è stata sostituita da un complesso residenziale misto. Il Mill House Ecology Center e l'Harvester (ex Mill House Pub) si trovano vicino al sito di un vecchio mulino a vento, i cui resti esistono ancora. C'è anche una pietra di granito scolpita in commemorazione di George Parker Bidder.

Mitcham Cricket Green

Mitcham Cricket Green is a cricket ground in Mitcham, south London (historically in Surrey). It is the home of Mitcham Cricket Club and is reportedly the oldest cricket ground still in use, having been used for cricket since 1685. History In the 19th century, the Australian cricket team would stay at The Cricketers pub which formerly overlooked the green and practise on the green whilst on tour. The pub was used as the "pavilion" for the matches on the Cricket Green up until the current pavilion was built in at the beginning of the 20th Century, the scorer having a position on the balcony of the inn. The Cricketers pub was destroyed by an incendiary bomb in WW2 (which fell between the pub and the adjacent Vestry Hall - which still stands). A replacement pub was built post-war, but has since been demolished and there is a block of flats on the site. The present pavilion was built in 1904 and is rare in being one of only a few cricket pavilions to be separated from the ground by a road, (the A239). Surrey County Cricket Club first used the ground in 1949 for a match in the Minor Counties Championship. Surrey continued to use the ground for 2nd XI matches until 1973. Its first usage in the Second XI Championship was for a match in 1959. Surrey have never used Mitcham for an important match. In September 1919 the Green hosted a Mitcham v Australian Imperial Forces XI match (the final game of the AIF XI tour of England), the Australian team on the day included 3 players who subsequently played Test cricket for Australia. In 2019 Mitcham CC hosted a team from the Australian Embassy to commemorate the centenary of this match. The match on the Green which is reputed to have drawn the biggest crowd was a women's game Surrey v Australia in 1937 where press reports suggest that a crowd in excess of 10,000 was present. This was the last game of the Australia tour. Women's cricket has been played regularly on the Green, including a warm up game for the 1973 World Cup (Surrey v Jamaica). The most notable match of recent times was the Golden Jubilee Challenge Match, a match held between Mitcham and Hambledon Club, two of the oldest clubs in the country, in honour of the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II. Ian Botham made a guest appearance with the Queen's Jubilee Baton. The match was a two innings affair. Local government The Cricket Green also lends its name to the nearby area, and is a Conservation area and council ward. References
