Stoney Royd Cemetery

Stoney (or Stony) Royd Cemetery is a cemetery in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England. Stoney Royd House was a brick house built for Christopher Rawson (1777-1849), the third son of John Rawson of Bolton "a little before 1764". It was demolished in the second half of the 20th century. One of its original gate lodges remains as part of the cemetery. In 1860 Halifax Corporation bought the site to turn it into a cemetery. Edward Milner won a competition for its design. It opened in 1861, and the northern section was consecrated on 11 September 1862. The southern section was for Nonconformist burials. Two chapels were built: one each for Church of England and Nonconformist funerals. The Church of England one was a cruciform Gothic Revival building with a tower, broach spire and polygonal apse. In 1973 the Department of the Environment made it a Grade II listed building. In 2007 its roof collapsed in a storm, and Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council obtained listed building consent to demolish it. The tower and spire survive. The cemetery contains monuments for 76 war dead, under the care of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. References External links Stoney Royd Cemetery at Find a Grave
York Cemetery, York

York Cemetery is a cemetery located in the city of York, England. Founded in 1837, it now encompasses 24 acres (97,000 m2) and is owned and administered by The York Cemetery Trust with support of the Friends of York Cemetery. It is situated on Cemetery Road in the Fishergate area of York. It has approximately 28,000 graves and over 17,000 monuments, six of which are Grade II-listed. The chapel is a Grade II* listed building, while the gatehouse, gate and railings are Grade II. The cemetery as a whole is a Grade II* listed park and garden. The architect of the buildings and designer of the grounds was James Pigott Pritchett. History The York Public Cemetery Company was formed in 1837 to provide better burial facilities for the citizens of York – whatever their station in life – than those offered by the overcrowded parish and non-conformist graveyards in the city. Initially, it had to compete with the existing graveyards, but, because of their unsatisfactory condition, these were all closed by an Order in Council in December 1854. From 1855 to the 1940s, the cemetery expanded to its present size of 24 acres (97,000 m2) by buying all the adjacent land that was available. It prospered, and paid good dividends to its shareholders. By the 1960s, with the cemetery nearly full, it became increasingly clear that it was no longer financially viable. The company went into voluntary liquidation in June 1966. The process was completed in 1979, by which date there was nothing of commercial value left, other than the land containing over 28,000 graves, 17,000 monuments and two listed buildings in an advanced state of disrepair. The abandoned site devolved to the Crown, and became an overgrown and derelict wilderness. In June 1984, the roof of the chapel collapsed, bringing down part of the rear wall with it. This stimulated a group of local people to take action, which led to the formation of York Cemetery Trust, a registered charity. In February 1987, the Crown Commissioners sold the freehold of the cemetery to the Trust for a nominal sum, giving the Trust responsibility for continuing the burial business, using the site for educational purposes, and restoring the chapel and gatehouse. A small staff of permanent employees, assisted by volunteers, now help maintain and develop the site as a heritage and environmental asset, while also allowing it to continue its original purpose as a burial place.

Hilton London Paddington

Le Hilton London Paddington, anciennement le Great Western Royal Hotel, est un hôtel qui fait partie du complexe de la Gare de Paddington à Londres. Le bâtiment, de style Second Empire français, est un monument classé de Grade II. Histoire L'hôtel était à l'origine l'idée d'Isambard Kingdom Brunel, qui était le premier directeur général de l'hôtel. Le financement est venu en grande partie des directeurs de la Great Western Railway Company, qui ont été persuadés par Brunel d'acheter des actions du projet. L'hôtel a été construit sur la Praed Street au début des années 1850 et a ouvert le 9 juin 1854 par le Prince Albert, Prince Consort, après 14 mois de construction. L'hôtel a été conçu par l'architecte Philip Charles Hardwick, coûtant environ 60 000 £, avec tous les meubles et accessoires - un bâtiment qui devait «rivaliser avec les installations des grands hôtels du continent». Le bâtiment forme effectivement la façade principale de la gare, fermant l'extrémité des quais du terminal. Il a été construit par MM. Holland Hannen & Cubitts, l'entreprise de construction fondée par Thomas Cubitt. À Paddington, Hardwick a été le pionnier du style Second Empire pour les bâtiments de ce type en Angleterre. Dans sa forme originale, l'hôtel était largement orné à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur, et il y a une sculpture allégorique restante dans le fronton par John Thomas. L'hôtel a été conçu dans le style Louis XIV et embelli par une sculpture figurative sur l'entrée principale de l'hôtel représentant la Paix, le Temps, la Science & l'Industrie. Thomas devait apporter de nombreuses statues et décorations dans l'actuel palais de Westminster. La compagnie de chemin de fer a pris le contrôle total de son exploitation à la fin du XIXe siècle, et dans les années 1930, elle l'a agrandie et rénovée sous la direction de leur architecte Percy Emerson Culverhouse. Norah, Lady Docker, la célèbre socialiste des années 1940 et 1950, est décédée à l'hôtel le 11 décembre 1983 . Conformément aux politiques gouvernementales de privatisation de British Rail, l'hôtel a été vendu au secteur privé en 1983. Il a été racheté, rénové et rouvert sous son nom actuel par la chaîne Hilton Hotels, en 2001.

Great House at Sonning

The Great House at Sonning (formerly the White Hart public house) is a hotel and restaurant with a riverside garden on the River Thames near Sonning Bridge at Sonning, Berkshire, England. It is possible for patrons to moor along the towpath running past the hotel on the river. It was formerly a public house, known as the White Hart because King Richard II's wife, Isabella of Valois was kept prisoner at the Bishop's Palace in the village after his death and his badge was a White Hart. In 1989, the original White Hart was combined with The Red House, previously a private home on Lee's Hill where the dramatist Sir Terence Rattigan resided during 1945–47, to become The Great House. About 150 metres East on the opposite side of the B478 road are Deanery Garden and St Andrew's Church. Close by, just over Sonning Bridge, is The Mill at Sonning, now a dinner theatre. On the opposite Oxfordshire bank of the Thames is another riverside hotel and restaurant, the French Horn. See also The Bull at Sonning References External links Official website
New Hall Manor

New Hall Manor is a medieval manor house, now used as a hotel, in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, England. It is claimed to be one of the oldest inhabited moated houses in Britain, dating from the 13th century when the Earl of Warwick built a hunting lodge on the site. The first reference to the site as a manor is from 1435 when by the homage in a court baron at Sutton after Sir Richard Stanhope's death, when he held it of the Earl of Warwick. The core of the present building, including the great hall, dates from the 16th century when the Gibbons family (relatives of Bishop Vesey) were in residence. Thomas Gibbons is said to have bought New Hall in 1552. Later owners included the Sacheverells, who received it from Thomas and Edward Giddons, and the Chadwicks, who were bequeathed it from George Sacheverell. In 1739, the Sacheverells mortgaged the New Hall estate to Francis Horton of Wolverhampton. The buildings served briefly as a school from 1885; Lt. Col. Wilkinson restored the Hall to residential use in 1903. In 1923 it was acquired by Alfred Owen of Rubery Owen and remained the Owen family home until the 1970s. It was converted to a hotel in 1988 by Ian Hannah and Ken Arkley, of Thistle Hotels. It is now owned and operated by Hand Picked Hotels. The house gives its name to Sutton New Hall ward, New Hall Valley and the New Hall Valley Country Park therein, and also the New Hall Estate and New Hall Manor Estate, which was constructed on New Hall Farm, both residential developments. Plants Brook used to drive New Hall Mill before being channelled away from the mill. The building is Grade I listed, with other Grade II structures. Bon Jovi's music video for "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" was filmed at New Hall Manor in 1993. The exteriors of the building were additionally briefly used during the third season of TV show Killing Eve in 2020 References Further reading 2023.

The Falmouth Hotel

The Falmouth Hotel is a Victorian hotel located on the seafront in Falmouth, Cornwall, overlooking Castle Beach. As the first purpose-built hotel in Falmouth, it opened on 9 May 1865 to provide to tourists due to the new railway station being linked nearby. It is located next to the Royal Duchy Hotel. The foundation stone was laid on 6 August 1863, by Robert Tweedy and it cost about £9000. Additions were added in 1880, 1898 and 1972. The hotel has 71 rooms and is set in 5 acres (2.0 ha) of landscaped gardens. In May 2024, the hotel was acquired by The Cornwall Hotel Collection, returning the landmark to local ownership alongside sister properties The Greenbank, The Alverton, and The Atlantic. Previously, the hotel had been owned by the Richardson Group since 2005. Beatrix Potter's stay During the spring of 1892, a 25-year-old Beatrix Potter stayed at the hotel for twelve days with her parents. During this visit, she wrote her earliest known picture letter to Noel Moore, the son of her former governess, dated 11 March 1892. In the letter, she described the hotel as the "big house close to the sea" and included detailed illustrations of the "puff-puff" steam train she travelled in, Falmouth harbour with its ships and fishermen, and the tame seagulls she observed from the hotel. This style of illustrated storytelling is considered a precursor to her later literary success, as similar "picture letters" eventually led to the publication of The Tale of Peter Rabbit.

Moresby Hall

Moresby Hall is a former manor house and hotel in Parton, Cumbria, England, overlooking the Cumbrian Fells, and just to the north of the village of Moresby. The hall is located south of Lowca, off the A595 on the A66-595, two miles (3.2 km) north of Whitehaven and 12 miles (19 km) south-west of Cockermouth. Dating back to the 12th century, it is a Grade I listed building and has been cited by English Heritage as being one of the most important buildings in Cumbria. Moresby Hall adjoins St Bridget's Church, built 1822 to 1823. The chancel arch of the previous building still stands in the graveyard. History The name derives from the original builder named Morisceby, Mawriceby or Moricebi as early as 1150, when the Rosmerta Cottage was built using a spiral stone staircase believed to be from an original stone pele tower that preceded the property. The adjacent church is on the site of a Roman fort named Gabrosentum, the earth banks of which can still be seen. The graveyard of the church contains many of the people who lived and died at Moresby Hall and the hamlet of Low Moresby. The wealthy Moresby family owned the estate for centuries during medieval times and had contacts with English royalty. Christopher de Moresby fought in the Battle of Agincourt and was knighted by King Henry V, and Anne, his great-granddaughter who was sole heiress of the estate, saw her fiancé Sir Francis Weston executed by King Henry VIII along with Queen Anne Boleyn. Later the very wealthy Fletcher family (from Cockermouth) owned Moresby Hall for a 250-year period. During this period it underwent some changes by architect Inigo Jones around 1620 and later between 1670 and 1690, by either William Thackery or Edward Addison. During the 18th century, the house was owned by several different people after Thomas Fletcher died childless. It fell into disrepair and was used as a farmhouse for some years, before it was restored in 1910 and became a small manor house again until 1955. Until the late 1990s it was owned by High Duty Alloys as a business venue. Moresby Hall is now a hotel and was purchased by new owners in 2023.
