Acklam Park

Acklam Park is a rugby union and cricket ground located in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England. Initially opened in 1929, the venue has hosted games of Middlesbrough RUFC since the ground's opening in 1929, as well as Middlesbrough Cricket Club since 1932. Yorkshire County Cricket Club also played a number of first class matches at Acklam Park between 1956 and 1996. With a capacity of 5,000, the ground initially cost £1,200 in construction cost upon its opening. History Middlesbrough RUFC purchased a 12-acre field in 1928 for a fee of £1,200. The club paid 13 shillings, club members paid £500 and £800 was loaned from the Rugby Football Union. Middlesbrough played their first games on their present ground in 1929, having played at several previous venues. Due to the cost of the ground, the club officials began selling oats and wheat from the field in order to pay off their loan from the Rugby Football Union. The name Acklam Park was adopted in 1930, and the following year a stand and pavilion was built, funded as a result of 12 interest-free loans of £100 each from local businessmen, the majority of whom refused to take repayment of their loan. In 1932, Middlesbrough Cricket Club became joint-owners of Acklam Park, soon attracting the interest from Yorkshire County Cricket Club, who had a ground history as tenants of the ground between 1956 and 1996. With play halted during the Second World War, the ground closed in 1940, before being re-opened in 1945. In 2008, a new clubhouse was opened at Acklam Park, which includes a bar, a café, a gymnasium, a function room and lounge. Improved changing rooms were also inserted, leading out to an exit to the main cricket and rugby pitches. A new stand was constructed, with seats being placed in front of the changing rooms exit and café door exit. Despite seats, supporters are eligible to stand and watch the rugby and cricket teams play. The stand uses bench seating, though plans are in place to have plastic seats added into the stand. In August 2018, the rugby club added dug-outs to the first team pitch. Location The ground sits on Green Lane, and is located near Acklam Shops and Green Lane Primary School, with a range of pubs near the ground. On the exterior of the ground, a number of housing estates are on the boundaries of the clubhouse. Other events Annually, a summer beer festival is held at the ground, which has raised much money over the years. They also host an annual firework display. On 27 August 2016, Middlesbrough Cricket Club hosted the first fundraiser event, Party in Acklam Park!, with live music and entertainment. The purpose of this event was to raise more money for the cricket club and for new developments in the youth teams. Party in Acklam Park went from strength-to-strength in the subsequent years, welcoming more than 3,000 guests each year, and celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026, welcoming back some of the most popular acts from the previous decade.

At the inspection in 2015 leaders were criticised for have not "had an accurate understanding of the quality of teaching in the academy. This has led to a failure to address poor practice and slowed progress." "Monitoring of achievement has been inaccurate. Unreliable assessment practices mean that too often, learning is planned that does not challenge pupils appropriately." The January 2016 Ofsted report found Acle Academy to be an "Inadequate" in all areas. In 2019 Ofsted monitored the school and wrote to the governors saying: "Detailed development plans are used effectively by you and your leadership team to gauge the rate of progress being made in improving the school. You feel that new appointments have ensured that you have 'the right people in the right posts' to enable the school to improve further and that there are no significant barriers preventing the school from being judged good at its next inspection. The school's small size and staffing changes mean that leaders and some staff have taken more responsibility for making improvements. Finances are tightly managed and you value the support of the trust in helping you to do this.." References External links Official website

Acton Burnell Castle

Acton Burnell Castle is a 13th-century fortified manor house, located near the village of Acton Burnell, Shropshire, England (grid reference SJ534019). It is believed that the first Parliament of England at which the Commons were fully represented was held here in 1283. Today all that remains is the outer shell of the manor house and the gable ends of the barn. It is a Grade I listed building on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. Initial building The manor house was built in 1284 by Robert Burnell, Bishop of Bath and Wells, friend and advisor to King Edward I. Its position was important at the time because it was near the old Roman road of Watling Street. The extent of the estate is not known, as much of the building has been destroyed or remains undiscovered. It would have been substantial enough to accommodate Edward I and his retinue, soldiers and advisers, but was never an actual castle. Robert Burnell was granted a royal licence to crenellate and fortify the manor on 28 January 1284, a benefit only extended to trusted people. The building was rectangular with a tower at each corner. It was three storeys high consisting of a hall, solar, bedrooms, offices, chapel and kitchen. Robert Burnell also built the nearby Church of St Mary and the surrounding village. Before this, in the autumn of 1283, Edward I had held a Parliament at Acton Burnell, presumably in the adjacent great barn, the only building large enough. It is significant in that it was the first time in English history that the law-making process included the Commons. The law passed became known as the Statute of Acton Burnell, a law giving protection to creditors, indicating the increasing significance of traders during those times. Subsequent owners When Robert Burnell died in 1292, the estate was passed down through the family line, eventually becoming owned by the Lovels of Titchmarsh, Northamptonshire via a marriage. Following the Battle of Stoke Field in 1487, the land was confiscated by Henry VII, who in turn granted it to Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk. By the time it passed to the Smythe family in the mid-17th century, it had been mostly demolished.Today Acton Burnell Castle is maintained by English Heritage. All that remains open to the public is the shell of the former private residence, accessible via a footpath through a small wood.

Château d'Acton Burnell

Le château d'Acton Burnell est un manoir fortifié du XIIIe siècle, situé près du village d'Acton Burnell, dans le Shropshire, en Angleterre. On pense que le premier Parlement d'Angleterre au cours duquel les Communes étaient pleinement représentées s'est tenu ici en 1283. Aujourd'hui, il ne reste que l'enveloppe extérieure du manoir et les pignons de la grange. Il s'agit d'un bâtiment classé Grade I sur la liste des bâtiments présentant un intérêt architectural ou historique particulier. Bâtiment initial Le manoir est construit en 1284 par Robert Burnell, évêque de Bath et Wells, ami et conseiller du roi Édouard Ier. Sa position est importante à l'époque car elle se trouve à proximité de l'ancienne voie romaine de Watling Street. L'étendue du domaine n'est pas connue, car une grande partie du bâtiment a été détruite ou n'a pas été découverte. Il aurait été suffisamment grand pour accueillir Édouard Ier et sa suite, soldats et conseillers, mais n'a jamais été un véritable château. Robert Burnell obtient une licence royale pour créneler et fortifier le manoir le 28 janvier 1284, un avantage réservé uniquement aux personnes de confiance. Le bâtiment est rectangulaire avec une tour à chaque coin. Il a trois étages et se compose d'un hall, d'un solaire, de chambres, d'une chapelle et d'une cuisine. Robert Burnell a également construit l'église voisine de St Mary et le village environnant. Avant cela, à l'automne 1283, Édouard Ier tient un Parlement à Acton Burnell, vraisemblablement dans la grande grange adjacente, le seul bâtiment assez grand. C’est significatif dans la mesure où c’est la première fois dans l’histoire anglaise que le processus législatif comprend les Communes. La loi adoptée est connue sous le nom de Statute of Acton Burnell, une loi accordant une protection aux créanciers, indiquant l'importance croissante des commerçants à cette époque. Propriétaires ultérieurs À la mort de Robert Burnell en 1292, le domaine est transmis dans sa famille, pour finalement devenir la propriété des Lovels de Titchmarsh, via un mariage. Après la bataille de Stoke Field en 1487, les terres sont confisquées par Henri VII, qui les concèdent à son tour à Thomas Howard, 2e duc de Norfolk. Au moment où il passe aux mains de la famille Smythe au milieu du XVIIe siècle, il a été en grande partie démoli. Aujourd'hui, le château d'Acton Burnell est entretenu par English Heritage. Ne reste ouverte au public que la coque de l'ancienne demeure privée, accessible par un chemin piétonnier.

Acton Court

Acton Court is the historic manor house of the manor of Iron Acton in Gloucestershire, England. It is a grade I listed building of Tudor architecture and was recently restored. It is situated, at some considerable distance from the village of Iron Acton and the parish church of St Michael, on Latteridge Lane, Iron Acton, South Gloucestershire, England. The Poyntz family owned the property from 1364 until 1680. Nicholas Poyntz (died 1557) added the East Wing onto the existing moated manor house shortly before 1535. Construction took about 9 months to complete. Subsequently, the wing was lavishly and fashionably decorated to impress Henry VIII. The king and his second wife, Anne Boleyn, stayed in the house in 1535, during a tour of the West Country. Building work continued at Acton Court until Nicholas died in 1557. When the direct line of succession ended in 1680, the house was sold. It was reduced in size and converted for use as a tenanted farmhouse. Due to neglect, the house gradually fell into a dilapidated state. By the end of the 20th century, practically only the East Wing survived. However, the neglect resulted in a rare example of Tudor royal state apartments being preserved virtually intact. The house was purchased at auction in 1984 by Eva Dorothy Brown on behalf of the Bristol Visual and Environmental Group (BVEG). An extensive restoration was completed only recently. Prior to the restoration, English Heritage commissioned a comprehensive study, published as K. Rodwell and R. Bell, Acton Court: The evolution of an early Tudor courtier's house (2004). The monograph is now publicly available through the Archaeology Data Service Further reading Faulkner, Neil (May 2008). "'A goodly howse': the rebuilding of Acton Court".

Acton Reynald Hall

Acton Reynald Hall ist ein Landhaus im Dorf Acton Reynald in der englischen Grafschaft Shropshire. English Heritage hat das Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts errichtete Haus als historisches Bauwerk II*. Grades gelistet. Die Familie Corbet gab ihre nahegelegene Familienresidenz Moreton Corbet Castle um 1800 auf, nachdem ihr Landhaus aus dem 17. Jahrhundert für die Nutzung durch die Familie vergrößert und modernisiert worden war. Sir Andrew Corbet beauftragte den Architekten John Hiram Haycock (1759–1830) mit dem Entwurf des neuen Landhauses. Er entwarf es in neojakobinischem Stil. Die östliche Eingangsfassade mit sieben Jochen und drei Stockwerken enthält drei Joche und eine toskanische Vorhalle aus der Zeit von 1610 bis 1625. Das Hauptgebäude, das aus der Zeit um 1800 stammt, wurde um 1840 um Flügel für die Dienerschaft und 1893 um weitere Verbesserungen erweitert. Das gesamte Dorf Acton Reynald wurde in den 1840er-Jahren zusammen mit etlichen Bauernhöfen abgerissen, um Platz für die Anlage des Parks zu schaffen. Von 1919 bis 1995 war in dem Landhaus eine Mädchenschule untergebracht. Heute ist es wieder ein Privathaus. Einzelnachweise
Acton Reynald Hall

Acton Reynald Hall is a 19th-century country house at Acton Reynald, Moreton Corbet, Shropshire, England. It is a Grade II* listed building. The Corbet family abandoned nearby Moreton Corbet Castle as a residence in about 1800 after their 17th-century hall had been enlarged and improved for their occupation. Sir Andrew Corbet retained architect John Hiram Haycock (1759–1830), who created the new mansion in a Neo-Jacobean style. The seven-bayed, three-storey eastern entrance front retains three bays and a Tuscan portico dating from 1610 and 1625. The main block, dating from about 1800, was later extended by service wings in about 1840 and other improvements in 1893. The whole of the village of Acton Reynald together with several farms was demolished in the 1840s to facilitate the creation of the park. From about 1919 until 1995 the house was occupied by a girls' school. It is now once again a private residence.

Adam & Eve, Birmingham

The Adam & Eve is a former public house located on the corner of Bradford Street and Warner Street, in Deritend, Birmingham, England. There had been a public house of this name in this location for at least 200 years. Name The Adam & Eve is an uncommon pub name. However, it is connected to the drinks trade through the Worshipful Company of Fruiterers who incorporated Adam and Eve in their crest. Original building The future site of the Adam & Eve is marked on an estate plan drawn by Samuel Bradford in 1748. However its first recorded licensee, John Robinson, does not appear in the Warwick Licensing and Justices records until 1801. Pubs in Deritend were also licensed by Bordesley magistrates but their names were not recorded. Robinson appears in these records for 1787–1800 and so may also have been the landlord during this period. The original building's layout is described in an 1837 rate book for Aston. This lists a back-part, a washhouse, a stable and a house fronting Warner Street, as each part of the property was subjected to a separate rate. Contemporary premises In 1889, the Adam & Eve was taken over by the Brewers Investment Corporation Ltd who set about remodelling it. Large windows and fascia boards were added, making it similar to other pubs of the time. The internal floor space was restructured and an outdoor department was created. Toilets were also constructed in the rear yard. Further modifications were made to the building in 1921 and 1928 when a smoke room and kitchen were added. An assembly room and dining room were also opened on the first floor. The new layout also incorporated indoor toilets, which made the pub rather up-market for the time. The Adam & Eve was severely damaged during the Birmingham Blitz and was never fully restored. Many of its neighbouring buildings were completely destroyed. Closure The Adam & Eve ceased trading as a public house in 2015, following a triple stabbing incident in October of the previous year. The premises were put up for auction and bought by a social housing trust who converted them into residential accommodation. In 2018 a not for profit coffee shop was opened on the ground floor.

Adderley Park

Adderley Park is an area in the east of Birmingham, England. Charles Adderley MP donated 10 acres (4.0 ha) of land to create the park, which he managed privately from 1855 to 1864. The park was opened to the public on 30 August 1856. At the park's entrance were buildings housing a library, reading room and museum. The buildings have since been demolished. The area is served by Adderley Park railway station. Adderley Park is notable for being the home of Wolseley Motors from 1901 until the late 1920s when following William Morris's purchase of Wolseley the plant was given over to commercial vehicle production, mainly light vans. With the formation of British Leyland in 1968, the Adderley Park plant's days were numbered. At that time it employed almost 3,000 people but was one of the first to be earmarked for closure. The last vans to be produced there left the factory in early 1972. References
Adderstone Hall

Adderstone Hall (grid reference NU141303) is a privately owned Georgian Grecian mansion situated on the bank of the River Warn near Lucker, Northumberland. It is a Grade II* listed building from which the present owners operate a holiday park. Historic England Heritage at Risk Adderstone Hall is currently recorded on Historic England Heritage at Risk register as in poor condition and slowly decaying. It is currently empty with no current plans for restoration History Adderstone was held by the Forster family, Governors of Bamburgh Castle from the 12th century. A pele tower of which no trace now remains existed on or close to the site in 1415. Thomas Forster (1659–1725), High Sheriff of Northumberland, built a new manor house in the early 18th century. The Forsters lived on the estate for over 400 years until they were ruined by the financial excesses of Sir William Forster (d. 1700) and the involvement of Thomas Forster (1683–1738) in the Jacobite rising of 1715. The property, already leased and subsequently acquired by the Watson family, passed briefly to John W. Bacon of Staward Hall in 1763 before passing to the Watsons who were already tenants of the property. The present hall was built in 1819 to a design by architect William Burn. The first Watson to be born at Adderstone (in 1760) was Captain John Watson whose son Sir William Watson, an MP and Baron of the Exchequer (1856) married Anne, the sister of the great industrialist Lord Armstrong. Their son John William (born at Adderstone Hall 1827) had one son, Willam, who inherited Cragside and the Armstrong fortune from his great-uncle, Lord Armstrong, who had bought Bamburgh Castle in the 1894 after the death of his wife, Margaret Ramshaw, and began restoring the building in grand Victorian style, but died (in 1900) before the work was completed. Adderstone was left to his sister Dorothy who married Noel Villiers in 1903 and lived at Adderstone Hall until she died in 1961, when the property was sold for the benefit of her many nephews and nieces.
