Christ Church, Belper

Christ Church is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England in Belper, Derbyshire. History The church was built to the designs of the architect Henry Isaac Stevens and consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry on 30 July 1850. A vicarage was built on land to the south of the church in 1857, also to the designs of Stevens. The church was restored in 1878 when the varnish was removed from the roof timbers and the ceiling and walls were painted by T.R. Hibbert of Belper. A screen was erected and the gas lighting extended. The floor of the church was lowered by 5 inches (13 cm) and the aisles were paved with encaustic tiles. This work was carried out under the supervision of the architect Mr. Robinson of Derby. At the same time the organ, which had formerly stood on the north side, was split either side of the chancel. The work was paid for by local industrialist G.H. Strutt whose liberality enabled the church to be converted into a free and open church. In 1903, two vestries were built and other alterations made, to the designs of Hunter and Woodhouse of Belper.

Corby Viaduct

Corby Viaduct is a railway bridge built to carry the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway over the Corby Beck near Great Corby, in the parish of Wetheral, to the east of Carlisle in north-western England. One of the largest structures on the route, it is a grade II listed building. Background The idea of linking Newcastle upon Tyne on England's east coast with Carlisle on the west dates back to at least the 1770s, when proposals were tabled for a canal. The prospectus for the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway was published in 1825 and construction work began in 1829 under the supervision of Francis Giles. The line was one of the earliest mainline railways and Britain's first major east-west line. Giles was the consulting engineer for the entire line but was also directly responsible for the principal works at the western end, which presented some of the greatest engineering challenges on the route, including Corby Viaduct as well as the next feature on the line, the Corby Bridge (or Wetheral Viaduct, which crosses the River Eden), and the Gelt Bridge further east. Description The viaduct crosses Corby Beck on seven red sandstone arches, supported by six piers. The arches have a span of 13 metres (43 feet) each and the whole structure is 160 metres (520 feet) long, carrying the railway 23 metres (75 feet) above the valley floor. The viaduct has similar architectural details to the nearby Corby Bridge (Wetheral Viaduct). It crosses the entrance drive to Corby Castle and was used as an entrance to the castle; the coat of arms of the Howard family are carved into the both faces of the central arch. History The bridge was built from 1830 to 1834. The road to Corby Castle is now disused and much overgrown. Vegetation makes the viaduct largely inaccessible at ground level. The viaduct is a grade II listed building. The list entry describes it as "an early and important railway structure, forming an impressive landscape feature".

St Philip and St James Church, Up Hatherley

St Philip and St James, Up Hatherley is the Church of England parish church in Up Hatherley, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. The church is part of the Anglican Diocese of Gloucester. The present church is a Grade II listed building and has been a centre for worship since 1886. Dedication The church is dedicated to the Apostles St Philip and St James. Their feast day is 1 May. History Up Hatherley has been a site of Christian worship since Saxon times, with a documented deed from 1022 that was witnessed by the Bishop of Worcester and the Archbishop of York. The year 1291, as recorded in Pope Nicholas IV's taxation records, further attests to the presence of a church building in Up Hatherley. Unfortunately, in 1640, the church faced destruction by fire, compelling the local community to seek worship in Shurdington for an extended period. The foundation stone of the present St Philip and St James Church was laid in 1885, owing to the benevolence of Mrs Laura Gretton, who covered the entire cost of construction. The Reverend W. H. Gretton, her husband, had provided the land for this new structure. Originally conceived as a private chapel near Mrs Gretton's residence due to her declining health, overwhelming requests from Up Hatherley residents prompted her to decide on a separate church. Consecrated on Easter Tuesday in 1886 by the Bishop of Gloucester, the original church followed a thirteenth-century Gothic style, accommodating around 150 worshippers. Designed by Messrs J. H. Middleton, H. A. Prothero, and G. H. Philpot, the church utilized local stone. An organ, crafted by Cheltenham resident Mr A. J. Price, was installed in 1900. In 1985, responding to the area's population growth, a significant extension project commenced. Consecrated by the Bishop of Gloucester on Saturday 21 September 1985, the new extension involved the removal of the south nave wall, the addition of a large bay, and a reorientation of the seating to a north–south axis. The capacity of the church was expanded to approximately 180 worshippers, and a Church Centre was integrated to provide additional facilities for both the church and the local community. To ensure aesthetic harmony with the original design, Mr Ron Sims, an ecclesiastical architect from York, spearheaded the interior reordering. This included the installation of a soundproof screen and staircase to an upper meeting room. Vicars of the Parish E. L.

St Katherine's Church, Rowsley is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England in Rowsley, Derbyshire. History The foundation stone was laid on 29 May 1854 by John Manners, 7th Duke of Rutland, who laid coins of every value, from a sovereign to half a farthing, in the foundations. The church was built to the designs of the architect Anthony Salvin. It was dedicated to St Catherine, after the name and in honour of the late Lady Manners. The church was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield on 18 July 1855. In 1862 a mortuary chapel was erected to contain a monument erected to the late Lady John Manners, the first wife of John Manners, 7th Duke of Rutland. The figures were carved of white statuary, the columns of russet marble, and the other portions of Darley Dale stone. It was executed under the superintendence of Anthony Salvin, the figure executed by William Calder Marshall, and the sculpture and architectural part of the monument by J. Forsyth of Hemsptead Road, London. The floor was inlaid with marble mosaics displaying the circle and the cross. Parish status The church is in a joint parish with: All Saints’ Church, Bakewell Holy Trinity Church, Ashford-in-the-Water St Anne's Church, Over Haddon St Michael and All Angels' Church, Sheldon Stained glass The east window, designed by T.

St Thomas' Church, Brampton

St Thomas’ Church, Brampton is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England in Brampton, Derbyshire. History The church was built as a Commissioners' church between 1830 and 1831 by the architects John Woodhead and William Hurst. The commissioners awarded a grant of £2,063 (equivalent to £203,733 in 2025). It was consecrated on 9 August 1832. The church was restored in 1887 when the high-backed pews were replaced with open pitch pine seating to provide accommodation for an extra 100 people. The church was cleaned and colour washed, and painted. The heating apparatus was improved. The circular communion rails were removed and replaced with straight ones. The altar was replaced and hung with curtains on either side. This restoration was carried out by Messrs. Marsden and Son of Brampton. The foundation stone for the chancel was laid by Mrs. Alfred Barnes of Ashgate on 29 August 1888 and it was constructed by Naylor and Sale of Derby. The new chancel was consecrated by Bishop George Ridding on 7 July 1891. The church restoration in 1903 by Cole Adams was marred by the death of a Sheffield painter, James Walter Hardy, who fell from a scaffold on 1 July 1903.

The Talbot, Stow-on-the-Wold

The Talbot, formerly known as The Talbot Hotel, is a public house in the Market Square in Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire, England. The structure, which was originally a coaching inn and later served as the local corn exchange as well as the main hotel in the town, is a Grade II listed building. History The Talbot was originally conceived as a coaching inn with stables in the street behind. It was designed in the vernacular style, built in rubble masonry in around 1714. In the 1840s, the building began to serve as the local corn exchange and, at that time, the left-hand section of three bays was refaced in ashlar stone such that it slightly projected forward onto the Market Square. The new façade was fenestrated with sash windows on all three floors with hood moulds above each window and a parapet at roof level. Meanwhile, the right-hand section of two bays remained faced in rubble masonry with more basic finishes. A brass letter box was installed between the windows on the ground floor to enable corn merchants to post their weekly corn returns: these returns informed the weekly summary of local corn trades published in national newspapers. In the second half of the 18th century, the hotel proprietor was Richard Day and it was branded "Day's Talbot Hotel". The use of the building as a corn exchange declined significantly in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century. However, the building continued to provide lodging for customers and to serve as a regular meeting place for local farmers, and for the local masonic lodge. An extensive programme of repairs was carried out, following a serious fire in the building in February 1870. The hotel was acquired by Hitchman's Brewery of Chipping Norton in the late 19th century, before passing to Hunt Edmunds Brewery of Banbury in 1925. It came into the ownership of Bass Charrington in the 1960s, by which time it was the largest hotel in the town. It was subsequently acquired by Wadworths of Devizes in 1985.

The Old Lodge (Minchinhampton)

The Old Lodge (also known as Old Lodge Inn) is a Grade II listed building in Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire, England. It stands in the centre of Minchinhampton Common. The building dates to the mid-to-late 17th century, originally built as a hunting lodge, and was enlarged around a century later when it became an inn. It is constructed of limestone rubble, with ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof. It is two storeys with an attic; it was extended to the south. The original 17th-century frontage is on the northern side, obscured by a late-19th-century wing addition with an east-facing gable. It became the clubhouse for the adjacent golf course in 1895. Minchinhampton Commons Golf Club had been formed six years earlier. Some sources claim the building was originally the home of the Common's warrener, who oversaw artificial medieval rabbit warrens. Another states that Charles I played lawn bowls at the lodge when he was passing through in 1643, on his way to the siege of Gloucester. The bowling enclosure has been dated to 1788, however. Until the foot-and-mouth epidemic of 2001, the Lodge was the venue for Marking Day, on which animals had their ears tagged before being allowed to graze on the common. Post-epidemic requirements are that animals are now marked at their home farm. References
Winchcombe Town Hall

Winchcombe Town Hall is a municipal building in the High Street, Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England. The structure, which accommodates the Winchcombe Folk and Police Museum, is a Grade II listed building. History The current building was commissioned to replace an earlier town hall which had become very dilapidated. The new building, formed by the southwest section of the current structure, was designed by William Hill Knight of Cheltenham in the Tudor style, built in red brick with stone dressings at a cost of £367 and was completed in 1853. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto the High Street. The building was arcaded on the ground floor, so that markets could be held, with three square-shaped piers supporting an entablature. The first floor was fenestrated by a prominent oriel window with a gable above. Internally, the principal room was an assembly room on the first floor. The structure was extended with an extra block, recessed from the High Street and extending along North Street, which was completed in 1871. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of two bays facing onto the High Street. There was an arched doorway with brick voussoirs in the left hand bay, while the first floor was fenestrated by a cusped lancet window in the left hand bay and by a castellated oriel window in the right hand bay with a parapet above. A projecting clock, presented by wealthy stockbroker and art collector, Reginald Heber Prance of Hampstead, was installed in the gable in 1897. Petty sessions were held in the town hall from an early stage. However, the borough council, which was administered by a court leet that met in the town hall, was abolished under the Municipal Corporations Act 1883. The assets of the corporation were transferred to a newly established entity, the Winchcombe Town Trust, in 1890. The building subsequently became a community events venue and local cinema. The Winchcombe Museum, which had been established in the Parvis Room above the porch of St Peter's Church in Winchcombe in 1928, moved to the town hall in 1986. Items accessioned to the museum included artefacts associated with local history as well as police uniforms, police weapons and other police-related items. It subsequently developed as the Winchcombe Folk and Police Museum. An extensive programme of refurbishment works, costing £150,000 much of which was financed by the Heritage Lottery Fund, was completed in 1999. Works of art in the town hall include five portraits by Josiah Rushton of various civic leaders. References
Painswick Town Hall

Painswick Town Hall is a municipal building in Victoria Square, Painswick, Gloucestershire, England. The building, which is used as an events venue and also as the offices of Painswick Parish Council, is a Grade II listed building. History The first municipal building in Painswick was a structure on the south side of Victoria Square close to St Mary's Parish Church on a site known as "Jumbles Den". The building, known as the "Stock House", included a school and a lock-up for petty criminals and was completed in 1628. A workhouse was subsequently built behind the old Stock House but, by the early 19th century, the old Stock House had become dilapidated and the parish leaders decided to demolish the old buildings and to commission a new Stock House on the north side of the square. The old Stock House was duly demolished and, re-purposed as a garden: in 1920, it became the site of a new war memorial, designed by F. L. Griggs in the form of a shaft with an octagonal head to commemorate the lives of local service personnel who had died in the First World War. The new building was designed in the Tudor Revival style, built in limestone and was completed in 1840. The design involved a main frontage with just one bay facing onto Victoria Square; on both the ground floor and the first floor there were five-light casement windows with pointed heads to the lights. There was a stepped gable above, which contained a quatrefoil-shaped panel with an inscription commemorating the old Stock House, and a lean-to structure to the right containing an arched doorway giving access to the main building. Internally, the principal rooms were the lower hall, which was used as an events venue, and the upper hall, which was used as a school classroom from 1844 until 1867. In the late 20th century, the author, Laurie Lee, who wrote the autobiographical trilogy Cider with Rosie, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning and A Moment of War, was a frequent visitor to receptions held in the town hall. Following the closure of the old public library on the east side of Stroud Road in December 2009, a major refurbishment of the town hall took place in spring 2012, and a new community library, established with financial support from Gloucestershire County Council, opened on the first floor of the building in May 2012. A room on the ground floor was made available for use as a post office and the parish council moved back into an office on the first floor of the building. References
Military Headquarters Building, Aldershot

The Military Headquarters Building is a military office building in Aldershot, Hampshire. It is a Grade II listed building. History The foundation stone for the building was laid by General the Duke of Connaught, the General Officer Commanding Aldershot Command, on 28 March 1894. The building, which was designed by Thomas Jerome in the Victorian style as the military headquarters for Aldershot Command, was built by Martin Wells & Co and completed in 1895. It subsequently went on to become the military headquarters for a succession of military formations: for Aldershot Area within South Eastern Command in February 1941, for Aldershot District within Southern Command in September 1944, for South-East District in 1967, for Southern District in 1992 and finally for 4th Division in 1995. After 4th Division was disbanded in 2012, the building was briefly used by Regional Command until it moved to modern facilities at Montgomery House in May 2014. The Military Headquarters Building was refurbished by Millgrove Construction to provide a neighbourhood centre for the Wellesley Project, a major residential development by Grainger plc, in 2016.
