Divinity School (Oxford)

Divinity School je středověká budova a prostor v perpendicularním stylu v Oxfordu v Anglii, který je součástí Oxfordské univerzity. Postavena v letech 1427 až 1488, je nejstarší dochovanou účelovou budovou pro univerzitní použití, konkrétně pro přednášky, ústní zkoušky a diskuse o teologii. Už není pro tento účel používána, ačkoli Oxford nabízí teologická studia, která jsou umístěna v Theology Faculty Centre, 41 St Giles', Oxford. Strop se skládá z velmi komplikovaného žebrového klenutí, navrženého Williamem Orchardem v roce 1480. Budova je fyzicky připojena k Bodleyově knihovně (s knihovnou vévody Humphreyho v prvním patře), a je naproti Sheldonova divadla. Na druhém konci od vchodu do Bodleyovy knihovny vedou dveře do Convocation House (stavba 1634-7).

Divinity School, Oxford

The Divinity School is a medieval building and room in the Perpendicular style in Oxford, England, part of the University of Oxford. Built between 1427 and 1483, it is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures, oral exams and discussions on theology. It is no longer used for this purpose, although Oxford does offer degrees in Theology and Religion taught by its Faculty of Theology and Religion. The ceiling consists of very elaborate lierne vaulting with bosses (455 of them), designed by William Orchard in the 1480s. The building is physically attached to the Bodleian Library (with Duke Humfrey's Library on the first floor above it), and is opposite the Sheldonian Theatre where students matriculate and graduate. At the far end from the Bodleian Library entrance, a door leads to Convocation House (built 1634–7). References External links Historic England. "Divinity School (1047185)".

Divinity School, Oxford

Divinity School är en medeltida byggnad i Oxford i England och är Oxfords universitets äldsta bevarade specialbyggda byggnad för universitetsbruk, särskilt för föreläsningar, muntliga prov och teologiska diskussioner. Den används inte längre för detta ändamål, även om Oxford erbjuder examina i teologi och religion som undervisas av dess teologiska fakultet. Historia Byggnaden uppfördes mellan 1427 och 1483 i engelsk sengotisk stil. Byggnaden ligger i anslutning till Bodleianska biblioteket, Convocation House och Sheldonian Theatre, och övervåningen inrymmer bibliotekets äldsta samlingar, hertig Humphreys bibliotek. Det karakteristiska stjärnvalvstaket designades av William Orchard på 1480-talet. Taket består av ett mycket utsmyckat stjärnvalv med slutstenar (455 stycken), designade av William Orchard på 1480-talet. 1669 togs en ny portal upp i nordfasaden, ritad av Christopher Wren, som är fysiskt ansluten till Bodleian Library (med Duke Humfrey's Library på första våningen ovanför) och ligger mittemot Sheldonian Theatre där studenterna skrivs in och senare tar examen. I den bortre änden från Bodleian Librarys ingång leder en dörr till Convocation House (byggt 1634–37). Den stora salen och Duke Humfrey's Library på övervåningen användes vid inspelningarna av filmen Harry Potter och de vises sten.

Dixie Grammar School

Dixie Grammar School is a private school in Market Bosworth, Leicestershire. The earliest records of the School's existence date from 1320, but the school was re-founded in 1601 under the will of an Elizabethan merchant and Lord Mayor of London, Sir Wolstan Dixie, by his great-nephew Sir Wolstan Dixie of Appleby Magna, who came to live in Market Bosworth in 1608. The most distinguished of the School's former pupils is Thomas Hooker, founder of Hartford, Connecticut, known as the Father of American Democracy. Samuel Johnson, moralist, poet and author of the famous dictionary, taught at the school in the mid-eighteenth century. The main building of today's school was built in 1828 and faces the market square of Market Bosworth. A distinguished headmaster of the school was the Rev. Arthur Benoni Evans from 1829 till his death in 1854. The school ceased to exist as a "grammar school" in 1969, with the establishment of Market Bosworth High School (11–13 years) and Bosworth Community College, Desford (14–18 years), as much larger comprehensive schools found favour. The Leicestershire Independent Educational Trust was formed in 1983, and four years later the school was re-opened as a selective, independent, day school for boys and girls of all backgrounds between the ages of 10 and 18. Three years later the Junior School opened, moving in 2001 to its present premises, Temple Hall in Wellsborough. The Dixie Grammar provides education for the following ages of children: The Pippins Nursery School (ages 3–4)– in Wellsborough The Dixie Grammar Junior School (ages 5–10) – in Wellsborough The Dixie Grammar School (ages 10–18) – in Market Bosworth The school has maintained the Independent Schools' Inspectorate top rating of 'Excellent' for Educational Quality unbroken since 2015. The Headmaster, Mr Richard Lynn, has been in post since 2014. References External links Official Website
Dixons City Academy

Dixons City Academy is an academy in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. The school was founded in 1990 as Dixons City Technology College which focused on a specialism of design and technology and product design. In 2005, the school converted into an academy and changed its name to Dixons City Academy. With the change of name was a change of focus as the school became a specialist performing arts school which allows it to select 10% of admissions purely based on ability in this field. In November 2018, the school was judged "outstanding", in an Ofsted inspection. Dixons Academies Trust The school founded the Dixons Academies Charitable Trust, Ltd. Founding principal Sir John Lewis retired from the school in 2006 and was succeeded by Sir Nick Weller. Weller became Executive Principal in September 2011 when Dixons took over the former Rhodesway School in Allerton, Bradford. His deputy Shirley Watson then became the principal. Sir Nick Weller became CEO of the Dixons Academies Trust as it expanded, with Shirley Watson later becoming one of two Executive Directors (along with Luke Sparkes, former Principal of one of Dixons' highest performing schools: Dixons Trinity Academy, and four Executive Principals: Wesley Davies of Dixons McMillan; Michelle Long of Dixons Music Primary; Neil Miley of Dixons Kings; Clare Skelding of Dixons Allerton). Sir Nick was made Knight Bachelor by Queen Elizabeth II for services to education in 2015, and his report to HM Treasury and the Department for Education on schools in the Northern Powerhouse region was published in November 2016. Michael Feely, former Deputy Headteacher at Our Lady's Convent Roman Catholic High School in London and England Youth international football player, was appointed as Principal of DCA in September 2018, leading the academy to a successful "Outstanding" Ofsted report 2 months later.

Dixton Wood

Dixton Wood (grid reference SO979313) is a 13.14-hectare (32.5-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 2000. Dixton Wood is recognised as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) under the EU Habitats Directive. Location The wood lies in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near Winchcombe and north of Cheltenham. It is a steep east facing woodland, which is surrounded by permanent grassland. It is in the foothills of the scarp and may be considered as a similar landscape feature as that of the nearby Bredon Hill which is a national nature reserve (NNR). Protected Species interest The site is notified for its population of Violet Click Beetle (Limoniscus violaceus), and for a deadwood (saproxylic) beetle assemblage. The Violet Click Beetle is protected under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981 (as amended) and listed on Annex IIa of the EC Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora. Its presence indicates the great importance of the wood, and indicates habitat of a high quality for this special invertebrate group (deadwood beetle fauna). The beetle is currently only known elsewhere in Britain on Bredon Hill NNR and in Windsor Forest. There are also some fifteen sites in central Europe. Woodland structure There is a well-developed high forest structure and the management of the wood has yielded a number of large, low ash pollards and a range of deadwood. The moist clay soils, the eastern aspect and the ground and scrub maintain a humid microclimate. This is likely to enhance the decay process, which has resulted in a continuity of forest conditions. Reports in by Natural England in November 2010 are detailed in the ageing of the trees, and planting needs to maintain the favourability of the site.

Dock Road Edwardian Pumping Station

Dock Road Edwardian Pumping Station is a sewage pumping station in Northwich, Cheshire, United Kingdom. The pumping station is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History Towards the end of the 19th century, Brunner Mond chemical company was provided new housing for their employees and Northwich sewage facilities were not adequate. The first sewers were laid in the town and discharged into the River Weaver, causing widespread pollution and providing no defence against disease. The Wallerscote Sewage Works was opened in 1902, and was successful in improving the conditions within the area it served. However, there were large parts of the town that was too low-lying for sewage to flow to Wallerscote. To solve the problem, Northwich Urban District Council built the pumping station next to the River Weaver at Dock Road in 1913. The station intercepted sewage before it entered the river and pumped it across the river to the top of Castle Hill and onwards to the Wallerscote Works. The pumping station was in use for over 60 years and is now maintained by United Utilities as a monument that is open to the public. Equipment The station was equipped with two single-cylinder Crossley 'N'-type gas-fired engines and two Haywood Tyler triplex lift and force pumps, capable of pumping 9,600 gallons per hour. In the 1970s, a new station containing electric pumps capable of pumping 36,000 gallons per hour was built alongside the Edwardian building but the original engines and pumps have now been restored.

Doddington Hall (Lincolnshire)

Doddington Hall ist ein Herrenhaus im elisabethanischen Stil mit eingefriedeten Höfen und einem Torhaus mit Giebeln. Es liegt im Dorf Doddington westlich der Stadt Lincoln in der englischen Grafschaft Lincolnshire. Geschichte Doddington Hall wurde zwischen 1593 und 1600 von Robert Smythson für Thomas Tailor, den Registrar des Bischofs von Lincoln, gebaut. English Heritage hat das Haus als historisches Gebäude I. Grades gelistet. Im 12. Jahrhundert gehörte das Herrenhaus von Doddington der Familie Pigot, die es 1450 an Sir Thomas Burgh verkaufte. Danach gelangte es in die Hände von John Savile aus Howley Hall in Leeds. Im Jahre 1593 verkaufte dieser das Herrenhaus an Thomas Tailor, der es abreißen und das heutige Haus erbauen ließ. Nach seinem Tode erbten sein Sohn und dann seine Enkelin Elisabeth Anton, die mit Sir Edward Hussey aus Honington verheiratet war, das Haus. Deren gemeinsamer Sohn, Sir Thomas Hussey, erbte das Anwesen 1658. Nach seinem Tod 1706 erbten seine drei Töchter zu gleichen Teilen. Mrs Sarah Apreece lebte am längsten von ihnen und vererbte 1749 das Haus an ihre Tochter Rhoda, Gattin von Captain Francis Blake Delaval aus Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland. Dann ging das Haus an deren zweiten Sohn, Sir John Hussey-Delaval. Er ließ 1761 von Thomas und William Lumby aus Lincoln einige Verbesserungen am Haus anbringen. Johns jüngerer Bruder Edward erbte 1808 und seine Tochter, Mrs Sarah Gunman, die ihren Vater 1814 beerbte, gab das Haus ihrerseits 1829 an Lieutenant Colonel George Jarvis weiter. Bei seinem Tod fiel das Anwesen an seinen Vetter, Rev. Robert Eden Cole und befindet sich bis heute in privater Hand. Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde das Herrenhaus von Laurence Bond und Francis Johnson restauriert. Die Innenausstattung des Herrenhauses, wie Textilien, Keramik, Porzellan, Möbel und Bilder, spiegeln 400 Jahre ungebrochener Familientradition wider. Das Haus ist von 24.000 m² eingefriedeter und wilder Gärten umgeben. Blumen blühen dort von Frühlingsanfang bis zum Herbst. Herrenhaus und Gärten sind öffentlich zugänglich. Es gibt Einrichtungen für private Besichtigungstouren und Besuche von Schulklassen. Ein von Anthony Jarvis 1973 entworfener Tempel steht im Garten. Sommerkonzerte und gelegentliche Ausstellungen finden in der Langen Galerie statt. Auch andere Geschäfte haben sich auf den Anwesen entwickelt, wie z. B. der Verkauf von Christbäumen und die Ausrichtung von Hochzeiten. Ein Bauernladen verkauft lokale Produkte. Die Wandteppiche von Doddington 1762 bedeckte Sir John Hussey-Delaval jeden Quadratzentimeter des Holly-Raumes – sogar die Rückseiten der Türen – mit Wandteppichen, die Szenen des Landlebens zeigen. Diese Wandteppiche wurden in Flandern Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts hergestellt. Die Wandteppiche von Doddington gelten heute als selten. Geister Daniel Codd behauptet in Haunted Lincolnshire, dass durch Doddington Hall ein Mädchen geistert, die sich von Dach des Herrenhauses stürzte, als sie von einem lüsternen Schildknappen verfolgt wurde: Jeden Herbst schreit ihr Geist angstvoll auf und stürzt vom Dach.

Doddington Hall, Lincolnshire

Doddington Hall is, from the outside, an Elizabethan prodigy house or mansion complete with walled courtyards and a gabled gatehouse. Inside it was largely updated in the 1760s. It is located in the village of Doddington, to the west of the city of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. History Doddington Hall was built between 1595 and 1600 by Robert Smythson for Thomas Tailor, who was a lawyer, the Recorder to the Bishop of Lincoln. It is a grade I listed building. The facade is wide, but the house is only a single room deep at the centre. In the 12th century the manor of Doddington was owned by the Pigot family who sold it to Sir Thomas Burgh in 1450, and eventually to John Savile of Howley Hall in Leeds. In 1593, he sold the manor house to Thomas Tailor who commissioned the present house. It was inherited by his son, and then his granddaughter Elizabeth Anton who married Sir Edward Hussey of Honington in Lincolnshire. Their son Sir Thomas Hussey inherited in 1658. Sir Thomas's three daughters were his co-heiresses when he died in 1706. Mrs Sarah Apreece was the surviving heiress and on her death in 1749, her daughter Rhoda, wife of Captain Francis Blake Delaval (the elder) of Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland, inherited. It then passed to her second son, Sir John Hussey-Delaval, and he had improvements made to the Hall in 1761 by Thomas and William Lumby of Lincoln. John's younger brother Edward Delaval inherited in 1808, and his daughter, Mrs Sarah Gunman, who inherited on her father's death in 1814, left the Hall to Lieutenant Colonel George Jarvis in 1829. On his death it passed to his cousin the Rev Robert Eden Cole, and it remains in private ownership today. In the mid 20th century the hall was restored by Laurence Bond and Francis Johnson. The hall's contents, including textiles, ceramics, porcelain, furniture and pictures, reflect 400 years of unbroken family occupation. In 1762, Sir John Hussey Delaval covered every inch of the Holly Room – even the back of the doors – with tapestries showing country scenes. The tapestries were made in Flanders in the early 17th century. The hall and 6 acres (24,000 m2) of walled and wild gardens, with flowering from early spring until autumn, are open to the public. A temple designed by Antony Jarvis in 1973 stands in the gardens. Outdoor theatre and sculpture exhibitions are held in the gardens. Other businesses have been developed on the estate such as a farm shop, home store, country clothing shop, bicycle shop, two cafés, a tea room, restaurant, holiday cottages, weddings and the sale of Christmas trees. Daniel Codd in Haunted Lincolnshire claims that Doddington Hall is haunted. The parkland and gardens of Doddington Hall are listed Grade II* on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
