Lancaster Academy

Lancaster Academy is a co-educational secondary school located in Knighton, Leicester, England. History On 1 September 2000 Lancaster School acquired specialist sports college status one of only four schools in the East Midlands to have achieved this designation at that time. In January 2007, the school alongside Sir Jonathan North Community College added a jointly owned £1.6 million four court indoor tennis centre to accompany its six floodlit outdoor tennis courts, multi-use games area, two gymnasiums and field. During the 2006/2007 school term, the School was featured in the BBC Two documentary series The Choir: Boys Don't Sing, in which choir master Gareth Malone started a student and staff choir and took them to perform at the Royal Albert Hall which was aired during February 2008. In January 2014, the school opened a new building costing £13 million which consisted of new science, maths and IT departments alongside a state of the art dinner atrium and a new kitchen to replace the ageing buildings which had been in use since the early 1970s. During early 2015 Mr. R Kennedy left his position as Headteacher with Anna Fisher becoming interim head. In 2016 a published report showed the school was in £1 million of debt. During 2017 the school became an academy in partnership with The Learning without Limits Academy trust who also operate Babington Academy in Beaumont Leys.

Lancaster University Chaplaincy Centre

Lancaster University Chaplaincy Centre, on the campus of Lancaster University in the United Kingdom brings together the many faith groups represented on the campus and in the wider community. History When the university was being designed, the architect Gabriel Epstein suggested a site to the north-west of Alexandra Square for a chapel, potentially linked to University House. The Anglican Bishop of Blackburn, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Lancaster, and the Rev. G. A. Maland (representing the free churches) held discussions together and agreed to retain the Preston-based firm Cassidy & Ashton, who specialised in religious buildings, as architects. Later, these churches were joined by the Jewish community, and the University Grants Committee agreed to help with the cost of fees and fittings for the social areas. Built in 1968−1969, the Chaplaincy Centre consists of three circular lobes with a three pronged spire, intended to embody an aspirational ecumenical spirit and representing the coming together of the three Christian denominations of Anglicanism, Catholicism and Nonconformism. The Chaplaincy Centre's spire was the basis of the university's 1989 logo, introduced in the university's silver jubilee. Similar facilities exist at the universities of Dundee and Bath. However, very few universities in the United Kingdom have such purpose built facilities. Lancaster was the first such joint centre in the United Kingdom. Interior details At the insistence of the Catholic Diocese of Lancaster, the Catholic chapel is separate to the chapel shared by Anglican and Free Church Christians, but moveable screens mean that both chapels can open up into the concourse for shared activities such as carol services. A portable organ, with one manual and four stops, was installed in 1983, and can be moved for use in either chapel or the concourse. Each chapel seats about 220 people. The Anglican/Free Church chapel is decorated with a wooden sculpture behind the communion table, entitled "The Battle". Constructed by local artist, Jan Thorn, it is reminiscent of a crown of thorns. The wall behind the Catholic alter is decorated with a fresco-secco depicting the Transfiguration of Jesus, which was painted over 12 days in 2017 by the Eastern Orthodox iconographer Aidan Hart. Usage The centre also includes a Buddhist Meditation Room and a Quiet Room used by Quakers. The centre hosts weekly Mindfulness sessions and serves as a meeting place for the Lancaster Jewish Society every Shabbat. Opposite the Chaplaincy Centre in Ash House are the university's Islamic prayer rooms. The centre is also used as a polling station for local and national elections.

Church of King Charles the Martyr, Royal Tunbridge Wells

The Church of King Charles the Martyr is a Church of England parish church in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. It is a Grade I listed building. History In the 1670s, Tunbridge Wells had few permanent structures when it started to receive visits from members of the English Royal Family. The church was built on land belonging to Viscountess Purbeck as a chapel of ease for those visiting The Pantiles and was opened in 1676 after being constructed by Thomas Neale. It was dedicated to King Charles the Martyr: the cult of Charles I, who was executed in 1649 and whose son Charles II had been restored in 1660. While it was a chapel of ease, it served the parishes of Frant, Speldhurst and Tonbridge. When it was built, the church was the first substantial building constructed in Tunbridge Wells. The church had no resident vicar until 1709, and relied on visiting clergymen to conduct services. As Tunbridge Wells expanded, so did the church. After new parishes were created for the expanding town, the position of the chapel became an anomaly and it eventually became itself a parish church in 1889, but with an unusually small parochial area. It had been visited by the young Queen Victoria with her mother the Duchess of Kent, and a plaque was installed to commemorate this on the pew they sat in. Design The church was built using red bricks. The ceilings inside are made of plaster with five domes and were designed in 1678 by John Wetherell. In 1688, Henry Doogood, the chief plasterer of Sir Christopher Wren, expanded it. In 1846, a vestry and a schoolroom was added. In 1882, Ewan Christian re-orientated the church while adding a chancel and reinforcing the church with steel. The panels either side of the altar in the new chancel came from a demolished church designed by Christopher Wren, St. Antholin, Budge Row, in the City of London. Outside the church is a stone set into the pavement which marked the parish boundaries of Speldhurst, Tonbridge and Frant, and also of Kent and Sussex before the county boundaries were redrawn. In 1969, Lawrence Lee produced The Ruth Window, a small two-light window with the figure of Ruth in one light and her work - gleaning in the fields - in the other.

Langage Power Station

Langage Power Station is a combined-cycle power plant near the city of Plymouth in Devon, England. Centrica, the original owners of the site, announced on 16 June 2006 that the natural gas fired power station was to be constructed on their behalf by Alstom. Section 36 consent was granted in 2000 and Reserved Matters were approved in 2005. The 885 MW plant was expected to cost £400 million and to start generating in early 2009, but problems with internal pipework pushed this back. The power station was completed and operations started in March 2010. Langage was set to be the first fossil fuel power station built in the UK since 2005, but due to delays it was preceded by Marchwood Power Station, which was commissioned in 2009. Multiple other CCGT stations were also commissioned around this time, including Pembroke Power Station and West Burton B. The station was commissioned against an expected 'energy gap' in UK generating capacity, caused by the expected closure of nuclear and older coal-fired stations. The power station had permission to build three gas-powered turbines when it bought the site in 2004, but due to land constraints they were only able to build two. The plant uses two Alstom GT26 gas turbines, each driving an air-cooled turbogenerator, with a heat recovery steam generator powering a single STF30C steam turbine which also drives another air-cooled turbogenerator. Centrica put the plant up for sale in May 2014, stating an aim to invest in smaller, more flexible power stations. On 21 June 2017, Centrica agreed to sell the power station to EP UK Investments as part of a deal that also saw South Humber Bank CCGT power station change hands between the two companies. EP UK Investments is the daughter company of EP Power Europe, which is 100% owned by Czech energy group EPH (owned by Daniel Křetínský). The UK high pressure national gas pipeline network (the National Transmission System) was extended to Plymouth in 1989 (Feeder No.20 terminates at an Above Ground Installation (AGI) south of Smithaleigh). Langage Power Station was built to exploit the availability of high pressure gas and the station now represents the southernmost gas-fired station on the network.

Langford Hall

Langford Hall is a country house in Langford, Nottinghamshire, England. The house is built in the Neoclassical style and has many interesting architectural features. It is Grade II* listed and stands in 83 acres (34 ha) of parkland. It is constructed in two storeys of red brick with ashlar dressings and standing on an ashlar plinth with a hipped slate roof. The frontage has five bays. History The house was originally built circa 1774, probably as a hunting lodge, by John Carr of York for Charles Slingsby Duncombe (1746–1803), owner of all the land in Langford. On his death it passed to his son Charles (1764–1841), who was selected High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire for 1834. In 1832 the estate, along with that of nearby Winthorpe, was sold by the latter to Lord Middleton, who had estates in Yorkshire and owned Wollaton Hall in Nottinghamshire. A memorial tablet to Slingsby Duncombe, who afterwards lived in Bryanston Square, London, is on the interior wall of Langford Church. The Middleton family owned Langford until 1925 when the estate was sold to Trinity College, Cambridge. During the period 1832–1939 the house was let and there were a number of tenants over the years. In 1853 it was the seat of Alfred Haffenden. In 1880–81 William Henry Coape Oates of Langford Hall was high sheriff. Sir Charles Seely, 1st Baronet resided here in 1901. In 1939 at the outbreak of the war the house was requisitioned and was occupied by the Army and later the Air Force. In 1945 the Langford estate was sold, with Langford Hall itself being purchased by Charles Roach who established the Dolphin Preparatory school. In 1967 it was designated a Grade II* listed building, the school closed that same year. In 1968 the building was purchased by Patrick Radford CBE, who carried out a major programme of repairs completing in 1972. A large two-storey service wing was demolished and the vaulted cellars filled in. In 2009 it became the home of the Sumsion family.

Langley Chapel

Langley Chapel is an Anglican church, built in 1601, located in a remote area (the parish of Ruckley and Langley) approximately 1.5 miles to the south of Acton Burnell, Shropshire, England. It is now in the care of English Heritage, and is notable for having a complete set of original 17th-century wooden furniture, and its lack of a chancel, in line both with its small size and Protestant attitudes to worship. It is one of the few new churches built in England in the Elizabethan period. Despite being built at the start of the 17th century, the east window tracery is in a simplified Gothic style, though the doorways are in plain vernacular styles, one with a flat lintel and another round-headed. The window on the north side is also plain and rectangular. It is a Grade I listed building. Built on the site of an earlier medieval chapel, it provided worship for the nearby Langley Hall, whose ruins are contained within a nearby private farm. The Chapel was built with wooden box pews, a musicians desk and Communion table bench seats. It has no known dedication. The 19th century saw the disappearance of Langley Hall, followed by the loss of the local population. The chapel became disused. In 1914, it became one of the first buildings to be taken into the care of the state, the Ministry of Works as it was. The fact it was abandoned meant it escaped modernisation and remains a rare time capsule of the 17th century.
