Chelsea Arts Club

Chelsea Arts Club is a private members' club at 143 Old Church Street in Chelsea, London with a membership of over 4,000, including artists, sculptors, architects, writers, designers, actors, musicians, photographers, and filmmakers. The club was established on 15 November 1890 (in Chelsea), as a rival to the older Arts Club in Mayfair, on the instigation of the artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, who had been a (sometimes controversial) member of the older club. During its primary events season from September to April, Chelsea Arts Club serves as a host for many functions, from instrumental and choral performances to film nights, literary talks and weekend artist lunches. Exhibitions of Members’ work are held throughout the year. Applicants for membership need to be sponsored by two current Members. The club is located in the former Bolton Lodge, a Grade II listed building on the National Heritage List for England. History Chelsea Arts Club was originally located in rooms at no. 181 King's Road. In 1902, the club moved to larger premises at no. 143 Old Church Street. In 1933 the club's premises, which had an acre of garden, were remodeled. The clubhouse includes a snooker room, bedrooms, dining room, former 'ladies bar' turned private party room, and a garden. From 1908 to 1958 the club held a series of public fancy dress balls, the Chelsea Arts Club Balls at the Royal Albert Hall, latterly on New Year's Eve, which raised funds for artists' charities. In 1958, balls were banned from the Albert Hall owing to their notoriety for rowdiness, nudity and public homosexuality (illegal before 1967). Subsequently, private functions were held at the club instead, with similarly lavish decorations and themes. In 1966 the club was redecorated, a new bar was opened, and membership was opened to women artists. The club exterior is often painted, for example by scenic artists Tony Common, Annie Ralli and Annie Millar. In 2010 it was painted bright colours with images of circus performers, and in 2011 was painted to appear as if it had been bombed in order to coincide with celebrations marking 70 years since the end of The Blitz.

Chelsea Arts Club

Le Chelsea Arts Club est un Private members' club (en) situé au 143 Old Church Street, dans le quartier de Chelsea à Londres. Il compte plus de 4 000 membres, parmi lesquels des artistes, sculpteurs, architectes, écrivains, designers, acteurs, musiciens, photographes et cinéastes. Fondé le 15 novembre 1890 à Chelsea, il se voulait alors un concurrent du prestigieux The Arts Club (en) de Mayfair, à l'initiative de l'artiste James Abbott McNeill Whistler, ancien membre (parfois controversé) de ce dernier. Durant sa principale saison d'événements, de septembre à avril, le Chelsea Arts Club accueille de nombreuses manifestations, allant de concerts instrumentaux et chorals à des projections de films, des rencontres littéraires et des déjeuners d'artistes le week-end. Des expositions des œuvres des membres sont organisées tout au long de l'année. Les candidats à l'adhésion doivent être parrainés par deux membres actuels. Le club est situé dans l'ancien Bolton Lodge, un bâtiment classé Grade II au National Heritage List for England. Histoire Le Chelsea Arts Club était initialement installé au 181 King's Road. En 1902, il déménage dans des locaux plus spacieux au 143 Old Church Street (en). En 1933, ses locaux, qui comprenaient un jardin d'un acre, sont rénovés. Le club-house comprend une salle de billard, des chambres, une salle à manger, un ancien bar réservé aux dames transformé en salle de réception privée, et un jardin. De 1908 à 1958, le club organise une série de bals costumés publics à l'Albert Hall, notamment le soir du Nouvel An, afin de récolter des fonds pour des œuvres caritatives destinées aux artistes. En 1958, les bals sont interdits à l'Albert Hall en raison de leur réputation de tapage, de nudité et d'homosexualité publique (illégale avant 1967). Par la suite, des réceptions privées sont organisées au club, avec des décorations et des thèmes tout aussi fastueux. En 1966, le club est redécoré, un nouveau bar ouvert et l'adhésion est ouverte aux femmes artistes.

The Wilson (Cheltenham)

The Wilson, formerly known as Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum, in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, was opened in 1899. It offers free admission, and has a programme of special exhibitions. It was renamed The Wilson in honour of polar explorer Edward Wilson, a son of Cheltenham, in 2013 after the building was extended. The gallery and museum is managed by The Cheltenham Trust. The museum is housed in part of a Regency building on Clarence Street (Cheltenham Library currently occupies much of the original building), designed as the Cheltenham Public Library by architect William Hill Knight, who also designed the Cheltenham Synagogue and Montpellier Walk. In 2007 a national architectural design competition was launched by RIBA Competitions to extend the building, providing more space for the renowned Arts and Crafts collection. Through this process Berman Guedes Stretton were selected by Cheltenham Borough Council and the extension was completed in 2012. Baron de Ferrieres, a former Mayor and Liberal MP for Cheltenham, gave 43 important paintings, mostly from Belgium and the Netherlands, to the town. He also donated £1,000 towards the building of a gallery in which to display them. The Museum was opened in 1907 in the adjacent former Schools of Art and Science. A major extension to the building by Hugh Casson was opened by the Princess Royal in September 1989, where the main entrance to the gallery is now situated. The museum is particularly noted for its Arts and Crafts collection of furniture, textiles, ceramics, carvings, silver and jewellery which is recognised as an outstanding collection of international importance for which the Art Gallery & Museum has received Designated status. Cheltenham's history is well represented, and in addition there are paintings spanning four centuries, oriental collections of pottery and costume, and archaeological treasures from the neighbouring Cotswolds. The Edward Wilson gallery shows the life of the Antarctic explorer who perished with Scott on his expedition to the South Pole in 1912. References External links Official Website

Cheltenham Minster

Das zu Ehren der Jungfrau Maria geweihte Cheltenham Minster in der heutigen Großstadt Cheltenham in der Grafschaft (county) Gloucestershire ist eine mittelalterliche Pfarrkirche; seit der englischen Reformation gehört sie zur Church of England. Die Kirche wurde erst im Jahr 2013 offiziell in den Rang eines Minsters erhoben. Sie ist als Grade-I-Bauwerk anerkannt und gehört zum Major Churches Network. Lage Die ehemalige Kleinstadt Cheltenham liegt am westlichen Rand der wirtschaftlich erfolgreichen Region der Cotswolds knapp 100 km (Fahrtstrecke) nordwestlich von London bzw. ca. 80 km südlich von Birmingham in einer Höhe von ca. 70 m; die Großstadt Gloucester ist nur etwa 13 km in südwestlicher Richtung entfernt. Geschichte Die Kirche war niemals Sitz eines Bischofs, sondern immer nur Pfarrkirche. Angaben zur Geschichte des Bauwerks und zu möglichen Auftraggebern fehlen jedoch. Aus stilgeschichtlichen Gründen wird eine Bauzeit im 13./14. Jahrhundert angenommen; allgemein wird der Bau den Stilepochen des Decorated Style (ca. 1250–1370) und des Perpendicular Style (ca. 1330–1520) zugeordnet. Der gesamte Kirchenbau wurde in der 2. Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts umfassend restauriert. Architektur Der ca. 40 m hohe oktogonale maßwerklose Spitzhelm des Vierungsturms stammt aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Die Kirche ist dreischiffig und basilikal mit Holzgewölben; sie verfügt über ein Querschiff und einen Chor mit geradem Schluss. Ausstattung Wichtigste Elemente der Ausstattung sind die Maßwerkfenster, deren Verglasung jedoch aus viktorianischer Zeit stammt. Eine hölzerne, mit zahlreichen Figuren bestückte Altarrückwand (reredos) im neugotischen Stil wurde im Jahr 1916 eingebaut.

Cheltenham Synagogue

The Cheltenham Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Synagogue Lane in St James's Square of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation was formed in 1820 and worships in the Ashkenazi rite. The synagogue building was completed in 1839, designed by William Hill Knight in the Regency style. Assessed in 1951 as one of the architecturally "best" non-Anglican ecclesiastical buildings in Britain, the synagogue was listed as a Grade II* building in 1972 as "an outstanding example of a small provincial English synagogue". History The congregation first met in around 1820 in a hired space at the St George's Place entrance to Manchester Walk. The cornerstone for the synagogue was laid on 25 July 1837. It was founded when Cheltenham was a popular spa town. However, the synagogue declined with the town and closed in 1903. It reopened in 1939 to serve as an evacuation centre for those who were being rehoused from London, refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe, and soldiers stationed in nearby bases, including a number of Americans. Architecture The elegant Regency building was designed by architect William Hill Knight (1837–9), who also designed the Cheltenham Public Library, now 'The Wilson' (formerly Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum), and Montpellier Walk. The synagogue's chaste Regency facade features Doric pilasters and a pediment. The interior features a coffered saucer dome – a typically Regency feature. At the centre of the dome is a lantern made by Nicholas Adam which provides natural light. The Georgian Torah ark and bimah are reused elements of the London New Synagogue in Leadenhall Street from 1761. That congregation was in the process of constructing a new building, which was dedicated in 1838. The cost of wagon freight from London was £86. A number of unusual elements of the original furnishings survive. Among these are the original rattan upholstery of the pews and bimah seats and the prayer boards. One board has the Yom Kippur prayers and the other has the prayer for the welfare of Queen Victoria. Victoria's name is superimposed over the names of previous British monarchs, the earliest of which is George II.

Cheltenham Town Hall

Cheltenham Town Hall is an early-20th century assembly room in Cheltenham, England. Unlike most town halls, it is a public venue and not the seat of the borough council, which is housed in the nearby Municipal Offices. It is a Grade II listed building. History In the 19th century the old Assembly Rooms in the High Street had been the main public venue for concerts in Cheltenham. The old Assembly Rooms had been demolished to make way for a bank at the turn of the century. The foundation stone for the building was laid by Alderman Colonel Richard Rogers on 1 October 1902. The building was designed by the Gloucester architect Frederick William Waller in the Classical style and built by the Cheltenham firm of Collins and Godfrey. The total cost of the building, including internal decoration, fixtures and fittings, was around £45,000. It was formally opened on 5 December 1903 by Sir Michael Hicks Beach MP, a former Chancellor of the Exchequer whose family had long-standing connections to Cheltenham. The design for the main frontage involved a large projecting arcaded Porte-cochère (i.e. gateway for horse-drawn coaches) at ground floor level. It also involved a three-bay frontage with Corinthian order columns between each of the three windows at first floor level with a large pediment above containing an oculus. Inside the building, the main hall, with Corinthian columns and coved ceiling, measures 92 by 52 feet (28 m × 16 m) and is 53 feet (16 m) high, with a capacity of 1,000 people. The Pillar Room serves as a secondary performance area, with a capacity of 300 people; to the left of the entrance hall, the Central Spa dispenses the waters from all the pump rooms of Cheltenham Spa. The octagonal table and urns, which are of Doulton ware, are still in use. In 1916, two plaster-cast statues of King Edward VII and King George V in coronation robes, made by Messrs R. L. Boulton & Sons of Cheltenham, were placed in alcoves on either side of the main stage. One was a gift from Mr. T. E. Whittaker and the other a gift from Messrs. Boulton themselves. The town hall organ was also a gift, from Mr and Mrs Edward J. Burrow; it was made by Rushworth and Dreaper of Liverpool and was installed in 1928. When resident with the Royal Corps of Signals at the Moray House Hotel (now the Hotel du Vin) from 1943, Sir Norman Wisdom performed at the hall in Army charity concerts, after one of which actor Rex Harrison came backstage and urged him to turn professional. One of the episodes from series 35 of the BBC television series the Antiques Roadshow was filmed at the town hall in 2013. It is now used for concerts, banquets, meetings, dances, balls, exhibitions, conferences and as one of the major homes of Cheltenham Festivals. Plans were announced to refurbish the building in March 2017 but they were the put on hold pending further consideration of the different options in July 2018.

Cheney Student Village

Cheney Student Village is one of the nine halls of residence at Oxford Brookes University in Oxford, England. Located on Cheney Lane in Headington, a few minutes walk away from the Gipsy Lane campus, it houses 750 students in single study bedrooms with en suite shower rooms and self catered kitchens. History Originally named Cheney Hall and knocked down in 2002 to 2003, Phase One of Cheney Student Village opened in September 2003 for 350 students (Blocks A to H). Phase Two opened one year later in September 2004 although a number of rooms were not completed until late October 2004. This meant a large group of student having to stay in Keble College and St Catherine's College, Oxford, for a month before transferring to Cheney. Cheney Student Village was built as part of a partnership between Oxford Brookes University and Jarvis UPP (formerly part of Jarvis PLC). This private finance initiative (PFI) meant that the Hall was financed, built and run by Jarvis UPP on behalf of the University on a 30-year contract. University Partnership Program (UPP Projects Ltd) took over operation of the business from Jarvis PLC in September 2005, and its sub-company UPP RSL Ltd now operate the running of the Hall. In the summer of 2006 the common room was completed and opened ready for the start of the 2006/07 academic year. Facilities Cheney Student Village is situated in landscaped grounds and has two onsite launderettes, and a sports centre with a floodlit all-weather football pitch nearby. Newly built and all en suite, the residence is made up of 750 single study bedrooms arranged in flats of five or six with shared kitchen/living/dining rooms.
