Church of St Christopher, Norris Green

The Church of St Christopher is in Lorenzo Drive, Norris Green, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is a former Anglican parish church in the diocese of Liverpool, the archdeaconry of Liverpool, and the deanery of West Derby. History The church was built in 1930–32, and designed by Bernard A. Miller. In 1964 the interior was repainted, replacing the original bright and varied colours with pale Wedgwood blue and cream. In 2025, due to declining attendance and issues with the building that were beyond the capacity of the congregation to repair, the church was closed for worship and its congregation merged into the new parish of Christ our Hope Liverpool. Architecture St Christopher's is constructed in brick on a steel frame with stone dressings and has a tiled roof. It has a cruciform plan, consisting of a four-bay nave, north and south transepts, a tower at the crossing, and a two-bay chancel, with north and south chapels. The west portal and the main windows in the church are hyperbolic in shape. The tower is low and contains three segmental-headed windows, and the chapels have triple round-headed windows. Above the entrance to the south chapel is a bell-shaped bellcote. There are more hyperbolic features inside the church, including the arches at the crossing, and in the vaulting. The chancel arch is decorated with a relief of a dove flanked by angels. The curved pulpit and lectern are integrated with the structures in the choir. The font has the plan of an eight-sided star, and its sides contain mirror glass. External features To the east of the church are three-bay cloisters with round arches. In the east wall of the cloisters is on open-air pulpit, which contains sculpture by Bainbridge Copnall. Further to the east is a church hall, also in brick on a steel frame. On each of its long walls is a plaque with the image of an angel blowing pipes by H. Tyson Smith. Both the cloisters and the church hall are in Byzantine style. Appraisal The church was designated as a Grade II* listed building on 16 January 1981. Both the description in the National Heritage List for England and Pollard and Pevsner in the Buildings of England series agree that it is Miller's most original church.

Church of St Mary Magdalene, Winterbourne Monkton

The Church of St Mary Magdalene is the Anglican church in the village of Winterbourne Monkton, north of Avebury in Wiltshire, England. It is a 19th-century rebuilding of a structure dating from the 14th century. Description The building was begun in the 12th century, with the vicarage being consecrated before 1229. It was attached to Cirencester Abbey and then Avebury. The endowment of the church was considered too small many times during the Middle Ages. An unusual feature inside the church is two huge tree trunks near the west end which originally supported the bells in the free-standing bell tower. That tower was joined to the chancel by the addition of the nave in the 14th century. There are four bells, three of them cast in the 17th century. The church was restored in 1877–8 by William Butterfield; the work included remodelling the wooden belfry and raising the roofs of the nave and chancel. Julian Orbach, updating Nikolaus Pevsner's description, calls the building "characterful" and writes that "Butterfield's attentions make a serious and coherent interior, still remarkably intact". The building was designated as Grade II listed in 1958. The circular font is from the 12th century, while the pulpit is from the 17th. The font is decorated in a zigzag style with foliage supported by trumpet scallops. On the northern side is a figure with splayed legs. There is some evidence that the font was originally painted. It has been speculated that the figure, which has three horns or a crown, could be an example of a Sheela na gig although several of its features contradict this suggestion. Parish The vicarage was united with Avebury until 1865, when it was instead united with Berwick Bassett; in 1929 the benefice was again united with Avebury, although the parishes remained separate. In 1970 Berwick Bassett was added to the union, and in 1975 a team ministry was established for the wider area. Today the parish of Winterbourne Monkton with Berwick Bassett is part of the Upper Kennet benefice within the Diocese of Salisbury, alongside seven other parishes around Avebury. References

Clarendon Park, Wiltshire

Clarendon Park is a Grade I listed building, estate and civil parish located a short distance east of the city of Salisbury in Wiltshire, England. According to the 2011 census the population of the parish was 246. The parish is almost entirely farmland, with parkland and gardens around the 18th-century house. In the southwest the parish extends to the Petersfinger area on the western outskirts of Salisbury, and the west bank of the Salisbury Avon. The Clarendon Way recreational footpath passes through the parish. History Part or all of Clarendon Forest was once known as Penchet. This name derives from Common Brittonic, from the words found today in modern Welsh as pen ("head, end, summit") and coed ("woodland"). Thus the name once meant "end of the wood". Clarendon Forest housed a royal hunting lodge in the 12th century, which was expanded into a royal palace in the 13th. In the 16th century the buildings reverted to a hunting lodge and were then abandoned. Today only foundations and part of one wall survive. House The mansion known as Clarendon House or Clarendon Park is 1.3 miles (2.1 km) south-east of the site of the palace. It was completed in 1737 for Peter Bathurst, MP for Salisbury, a member of the wealthy Bathurst slave-trading family, and remodelled internally in 1814 and 1920. After having been passed down the Hervey-Bathurst family, it was occupied by Sir Frederick Hervey-Bathurst, 3rd Baronet, from 1824 to 1881, and then by his son Sir Frederick Hervey-Bathurst, 4th Baronet, until 1900. Around 1920, Sir Frederick Hervey-Bathurst, 5th Baronet, sold it to a Christie-Miller. Around 1979, 19th-century service additions on the west side were demolished. The estate was bought by Marc Jonas and his wife in 2006. The house was designated as Grade I listed in 1960. References External links Clarendon Park Parish Council

Coopers School

Coopers School is a mixed secondary school with academy status in Chislehurst in the London Borough of Bromley, England. The current Head of School is Claire Bessa. The site is on land between Chislehurst Common and the National Trust's Hawkwood Estate, an area of working farmland and woodland, and is above the Chislehurst Caves. As of 2013 the school had some 1,357 students, of whom approximately 200 were in the sixth form. The school was inspected by Ofsted in 2023 and rated good. History The school was first established in 1939 as the Sidcup Day Commercial School, with headmistress Miss Scorrer. After World War II, in 1946, a second site linked to the Sidcup school was established at Hawkwood Lane, Chislehurst. The new school eventually became known as the Chislehurst and Sidcup Technical High School for Girls and in 1949 Mary Anderson was appointed head teacher. By 1969 the Chislehurst site had been further developed, with several new buildings, and the two schools split. The Chislehurst school became Coopers School, named after the Coopers Mansion House which stood on the site. The house is still standing, and has recently been refurbished to become the school's sixth form centre. Later, in 1969 later school accepted its first intake of 37 boys. In 1981 the school became an all-ability comprehensive school. The school became a specialist Technology College in 2002, and was renamed Coopers Technology College. In February 2012 the school converted to an academy. It subsequently renamed itself Coopers School. In late 2018, the school joined the Orion Education multi-academy trust (formerly Education for the 21st Century(E21C)). The house system was removed in 2021. The system previously divided students into the houses Pankhurst, Wilberforce, Newton and Franklin. Until 2023, the school shared a site with the community special school Marjorie McClure. Marjorie McClure School moved to a new purpose-built site in Chislehurst on 5 July 2023. Achievements The school won a national award for ICT in 2006, for using computers to improve the way in which it is run. The school's website allows extensive interactive access to school information by staff, students, parents and governors through its learning gateway.
