St Mark's, Battersea Rise

St Mark's, Battersea Rise, is a Victorian Grade II* listed Anglican church located in Clapham Junction in London. The church was designed by William White and built from 1872 to 1874 in a Geometric Middle-pointed, 13th Century Gothic style using yellow bricks with red brick dressings and diapering. Inside, the nave comprises four bays with north aisles, a tower at the south-west corner supporting a wooden belfry and a shingled spire. Concrete piers with naturalistic stone-carved capitals were produced by Harry Hems. The interior floor is tiled. The choir stalls, pulpit and font were built to White's designs. The altar is raised on a stone plinth behind low brass rails. At the east end, the ambulatory descends to the crypt. After a declining congregation and a dilapidated church building, the parish recovered as the result of a church plant in 1987 from Holy Trinity Brompton, led by Pastor Paul Perkin, his wife Christine and a group of about 50 followers. Through donations from the congregation, building works have been undertaken, with a new welcome hall and extended meeting hall opened in 2007. St Mark's Church has been described as conservative and evangelical and was the subject of an article by The Guardian newspaper in 2012, Money becomes new church battleground. The article describes a "bitter power struggle within the CofE and the wider Anglican communion" on conservative issues such as homosexuality and the ordination of women priests. Boutflower Road, which runs to the east of the church, is named for Henry Boutflower Verdon, the church's first vicar-designate who died, young, in 1879, seven years before the construction of the road as part of Alfred Heaver's St John's Park property development.

Town of Ramsgate

The Town of Ramsgate public house is located at the centre of the ancient hamlet of Wapping in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It features in several books about London inns where it is rated as "a notable specimen of a waterman's tavern." Construction Although the present building dates back to 1758, the National Monuments Record have stated that it was constructed on earlier foundations. Today it benefits from a Grade II listing, awarded primarily for the pub's interior; the "beamed ceilings, benches, plank paneling and engraved glass screen" but also for its "group value and historical associations." Nearby The pub is located between Wapping Old Stairs and Oliver's Wharf. To the left of the inn are the Georgian houses of Pier Head which were built in 1811 for the employees of the London Dock Company. The railed gardens cover the former entrance to Wapping Basin. Opposite the pub is St. John's Church. Built in 1790, all that remains is the tower, as the main body of the church was destroyed during the Blitz. To the right is Oliver's Wharf.

St Stephen's Church, Westbourne Park

St Stephen's Church, Westbourne Park, is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England in London. History St Stephen's Church dates from 1856. It was designed by the architect brothers Frederick John and Horace Francis, who designed at least 20 other churches around London – only St Stephen's is believed to still be in existence. Many changes have been made to the church over the years, the most notable being the removal of a tall spire. The latter was removed following World War II when it was deemed unsafe. The church, both exterior and interior, appears in the 1954 Adelphi feature film The Crowded Day. Vicars Richard Dryer (current) Organ The organ dates from 1866 by William Hill. There have been subsequent modifications by Hill, Norman and Beard. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.

Trelissick Garden

Trelissick Garden ist ein Garten in Cornwall mit subtropischem und fernöstlichem Bewuchs. Der Garten liegt in Feock, einem Ortsteil von Truro, ca. 4 Meilen nördlich der Stadt Falmouth oberhalb des Fal River und der Carrick Roads. Seine Fläche beträgt ca. 10 Hektar. Der kornische Name Trelissicks bedeutet Haus des Klanführers. Der Garten Im Gegensatz zu den einige Meilen südwestlich liegenden Gärten Trebah und Glendurgan ist Trelissick kein Schluchtgarten, sondern hat den Charakter eines Landschaftsparks. Der Garten besteht aus zwei Teilen, die von einer schmalen Straße durchschnitten werden, die zur Autofähre über den Fal führt. Verbunden werden die beiden Gartenteile durch eine kleine Holzbrücke. Dank des durch den Golfstrom milden kornischen Klimas ist es möglich, in Trelissick neben heimischen Arten eine große Anzahl subtropischer und fernöstlicher Gewächse ganzjährig im Freiland zu kultivieren. So finden sich in Trelissick u. a. Yuccas, Taschentuchbäume und Baumfarn und – für das südliche Cornwall selbstverständlich – Rhododendron. Im späten Frühjahr und Frühsommer leuchtet Trelissick in allen Farben der Rhododendrenblüten. Ein besonderes Schmuckstück ist die japanische Zeder auf der zentralen Rasenfläche des Gartens. Der „Parsley Garden“, der alte Haus- und Kräutergarten am Eingang des Anwesens, wird ebenfalls noch bewirtschaftet und kann besichtigt werden. Ansichten aus Trelissick Geschichte Die englische Porzellanfabrikantin Ida Copeland erbte Trelissick 1937. Zwischen 1937 und 1955 ließ sie den ursprünglichen Landschaftspark umgestalten, so dass der Garten einen mehr subtropischen und fernöstlichen Charakter erhielt. Im Jahr 1955 übertrugen die Copelands Trelissick dem National Trust, der es der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich machte und in den folgenden Jahren die Bepflanzung erweiterte und veränderte. Dabei wurde auch Wert auf eine Bepflanzung mit spät blühenden Rhododendren und Hortensien gelegt, um die Blütezeit zu verlängern. 2019 wurde Trelissick Garden von rund 228.000 Personen besucht. 2024 betrug die Besucherzahl etwa 183.000 Personen. Wissenswertes Trelissick beherbergt die nationale Britische Sammlung von Photinien und Azaras. Ebenfalls befindet sich hier die Porzellansammlung der Familie Copeland („Copeland China Collection“), die besichtigt werden kann. Literatur Stephen Lacey: Gardens of the National Trust.

Trelissick

Trelissick (Cornish: Trelesyk) is a house and garden in the ownership of the National Trust at Feock, near Truro, Cornwall, England. It is located on the B3289 road, just west of King Harry Ferry, and overlooks the estuary known as Carrick Roads. It lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation. It receives over 200,000 visitors annually. History Trelissick, first recorded in 1275, means "Leidic's farm". Trelissick in the parish of St Ewe has the same derivation but Trelissick in St Erth and Trelissick in Sithney have a different one ("Gwledic's farm"). The house was designed around 1750 by the paternal grandfather of Humphry Davy for John Lawrence and remodelled in the 1820s by Thomas Daniell. It was further extended in the late 19th century. It is Grade II* listed. The estate has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1955 when it was donated by Ida Copeland following the death of her son Geoffrey, on the understanding that the family could continue to reside there. A stained glass memorial bearing the Copeland coat of arms was donated to Feock parish church by Mrs. Copeland. The house and garden had formerly been owned and developed by the Daniell family, which had made its fortune in the 18th century Cornish copper mining industry. The contents of the house were sold in July 2013 by Bonhams auctioneers. Cornish wrestling Cornish wrestling tournaments, for prizes, were held in Trelissick in the 1900s. Garden Many of the species that flourish in the mild Cornish air, including the rhododendrons and azaleas which are now such a feature of the garden, were planted by the Copelands including hydrangeas, camellias and flowering cherries, and exotics such as the ginkgo and various species of palm. They also ensured that the blossoms they nurtured had a wider, if unknowing audience. Mr Ronald Copeland was chairman and later managing director of his family's business, the Spode china factory. Flowers grown at Trelissick were used as models for those painted on ware produced at the works. The Copeland family crest, a horse's head, now decorates the weathervane on the turret of the stable block, making a pair with the Gilbert squirrels on the Victorian Gothic water tower, an echo of the family who lived here in the second half of the 19th century (their ancestor, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, was lost at sea in his ship Squirrel after discovering Newfoundland). The garden is noted for its rare shrubs. It offers a large park, woodland walks, views over the estuary of the River Fal and Falmouth. Special plants Trelissick Garden is the home of the National Plant Collections of photinias and azaras.

Trelissick Garden

Trelissick Garden(s) (in lingua cornica: Lowarth Trelesyk) è un giardino con piante esotiche del villaggio inglese di Trelissick, nella parrocchia civile di Feock (dintorni di Truro), in Cornovaglia, ospitato all'interno della tenuta di Trelissick ed approntato nella prima metà del XX secolo. Il giardino è posto sotto la tutela del National Trust. Descrizione Il Trelissick Garden si trova lungo l'estuario del fiume Fal e si estende in un'area di circa 375 acri. Il giardino ospita camelie, magnolie, ortensie e rododendri. Vi trovano inoltre posto piante rampicanti, aceri, conifere, alberi da fico e un meleto della Cornovaglia. All'interno della tenuta di Trelissick si trova inoltre la Trelissick House, una residenza risalente al 1750. Storia La storia della tenuta ebbe inizio nel 1750, quando vi fu costruita una villa a due piani. Intorno al 1800 la villa fu acquisita da un ricco ereditiero, il Sig. Daniell. In seguito, la villa passò al figlio di quest'ultimo, Thomas Daniell, che nel 1825 commissionò a Peter Frederick Robinson di approntare delle modifiche all'edificio (si deve a lui il portico colonnato). La tenuta divenne in seguito, segnatamente tra il 1844 e il 1913 di proprietà della famiglia Gilbert. I Gilbert aggiunsero alla tenuta un bosco ornamentale, querce e conifere. Nel 1937 la tenuta fu ereditata dalla Sig.ra Copeland. La realizzazione di gran parte dei giardini visibili tuttora si deve proprio ai coniugi Copeland.

Washington Old Hall

Washington Old Hall ist ein Herrenhaus im Zentrum von Washington im Nordosten Englands. Das Herrenhaus war der Stammsitz der Familie von George Washington, dem ersten Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten. Geschichte William de Hertburne, ein Vorfahre von George Washington, pachtete vermutlich das Wessyngtonland vom Bischof von Durham für eine jährliche Pacht von 4 £. Kurz darauf änderte er seinen Namen in William de Wessyngton (später Washington). Obwohl er die Rechtschreibung der normannischen Sprache verwendete (basierend auf einer mittelenglischen Wiedergabe des Originals), wird der Nachlass im Angelsächsischen, ursprünglich als Hwæssaingatūn genannt, was so viel bedeutet wie „Güter der Nachkommen von Hwæssa“ (Hwæssa wurde im modernen Englisch zu Wassa). Im Jahre 1613 zog die Washington-Familie in den Süden nach Sulgrave Manor, das Herrenhaus wurde an den Bischof von Durham verkauft. Washington Old Hall wurde bis ins 19. Jahrhundert als Wohnsitz verwendet, bis es als Mietshaus allmählich verfiel. Im Jahre 1936 wurde das Gebäude für unbewohnbar erklärt, aber vor dem Abriss von Fred Hill, einem örtlichen Lehrer, gerettet, indem er für die Restaurierung des Gebäudes die „Friends of the Old Hall“ gründete. Die Instandsetzungsarbeiten wurden während des Zweiten Weltkriegs pausiert und schließlich im Jahr 1955 abgeschlossen. 1957 übernahm der National Trust die Verantwortung für das Gebäude. Als Ergebnis der historischen Verbindungen zwischen Washington, D.C. und der City of Sunderland ist ein „Freundschaftsvertrag“, der die Hoffnung auf kulturelle und wirtschaftliche Beziehungen zueinander ankündigt, bezeugt. Die Wessyngton-(Washington)-Familie ist seit dem frühen 14. Jahrhundert nicht mehr im Besitz von Washington Old Hall, als Sir William Mallory Dionysia Tempest, die letzte Wessyington-Erbin, in der Hall heiratete. Dionysia war die Tochter von Sir William Tempest und seiner Cousine, Eleanor Wessyington. Der Verkauf im Jahr 1613 geschah durch Sir John Mallory und Anna Eure, Investoren in der Virginia-Charter; Sir John Mallory war ein Nachfahre von Sir William Mallory und Dionysia Tempest.

Washington Old Hall

Washington Old Hall is a historic manor house in Washington, Tyne and Wear, England. It lies in the centre of Washington, being surrounded by other villages. The building was the ancestral home of the family of George Washington (1732–1799), the first president of the United States. History William de Hertburne (originally William Bayard), an ancestor of George Washington, assumed tenancy of the Wessyngtonlands from the Bishop of Durham in the late 12th century. Soon after, he changed his name to William de Wessyngton (later Washington). In the early 15th century Sir William Mallory married Dionysia Tempest, the last Wessyngton heir at the Hall. Dionysia was daughter of Sir William Tempest and his cousin, Eleanor Wessyngton. In 1613, Sir John Mallory (a descendant of Sir William Mallory and Dionysia Tempest) and Anna Eure, shareholders in the Virginia Company, moved south to Sulgrave Manor in Northamptonshire, and the manor was sold to the Bishop of Durham. The Hall continued to be used as a residence until the 19th century, when it became tenement flats and gradually fell into disrepair. In 1936, the building was declared unfit for human habitation, and was rescued from demolition by Fred Hill, a local teacher, who created what is now the "Friends of the Old Hall" to press for restoration of the building. Restoration began in 1937. Preservation work stopped during World War II, but was completed in 1955. The building was opened by the American Ambassador, Winthrop W. Aldrich. In 1957, the National Trust assumed responsibility for the building. As a result of these historic ties, in 2007, Washington, D.C., and the City of Sunderland announced a "friendship agreement," hoping to create cultural and economic ties with one another.

Washington Old Hall

Washington Old Hall est un manoir-musée de style médiéval du XIIe siècle et Tudor-jacobéen du XVIe siècle, de Washington dans le comté de Durham, en Angleterre, au Royaume-Uni. Demeure ancestrale des origines anglaises de la famille Washington de George Washington (premier président des États-Unis) elle est transformée en musée depuis 1955 et classée Grade I du Royaume-Uni. Historique Ce manoir féodal de la seigneurie de Washington (du comté de Durham) est fondé vers 1183 sur une motte castrale, par sir William de Washington II (v1180-v1239) fils du seigneur William de Washington et de Marguerite de Huntingdon (entre autres duchesse de Bretagne et petite-fille du roi Henri d'Écosse). La famille Washington fonde en 1560 le manoir de Sulgrave dans le Northamptonshire, et vend alors ce manoir à l'évêque de Durham, qui le modifie en style Tudor-jacobéen du XVIe siècle, en conservant quelques éléments d'architecture médiévale d'origine. Musée Habité jusqu'au XIXe siècle, puis tombé en ruine, le manoir est sauvé de la destruction et restauré, entre 1936 et 1955, par une association amicale locale, avant d’être transformé en musée meublé d'époque, avec son jardin à l'anglaise et verger d'un hectare, inauguré et ouvert au public en 1955 par le National Trust. George Washington Ce manoir remonte aux origines anglaises historiques de la famille Washington de George Washington (du monument national du lieu de Naissance de George Washington et Mount Vernon) père-fondateur et premier président des États-Unis en 1789, après avoir remporté la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis en 1783, fondé Washington D.C. et la Constitution des États-Unis en 1787, et la Maison-Blanche en 1792.
