George Hotel and Pilgrims’ Inn

Das George Hotel and Pilgrims’ Inn ist ein um 1470 erbautes Gasthaus im englischen Glastonbury. Es diente zunächst als Unterkunft für die Gäste der nahegelegenen Glastonbury Abbey. Bauherr war John Selwood – der damalige Abt des Klosters. Bis heute wird das Gebäude immer noch als Hotel und Gaststätte genutzt. Von besonderer kunsthistorischer Bedeutung ist die Fassade zur High Street. Sie ist, obwohl von der Grundanlage her noch spätgotisch, doch schon mit Anklängen an die aufkommende Renaissance gearbeitet. Zeugnis dessen sind zum einen die stark rechtwinklige Gliederung der Fassadenelemente und zum zweiten die ausgeprägt horizontale Betonung, vor allem der Gesimse. Das mittlere der drei Wappenfelder über dem Portal zeigt das Wappen König Edwards IV. Das Hotel verfügt über 15 Zimmer, von denen 8 noch im historischen Teil des Gebäudes liegen. 1933 fand die Gaststätte Eingang in das Hauptwerk des walisischen Schriftstellers John Cowper Powys Glastonbury Romance. Seit 1950 steht es unter der höchsten Stufe (Grade I) des englischen Denkmalschutzes. Literatur Harald Busch, Bernd Lohse: Baukunst der Renaissance in Europa, Umschau Verlag, Frankfurt/Main 1960.

George Hotel and Pilgrims' Inn, Glastonbury

The George Hotel and Pilgrims' Inn in Glastonbury, Somerset, England, was built in the late 15th century to accommodate visitors to Glastonbury Abbey. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building. It is claimed to be the oldest purpose built public house in the South West of England. Having once been the Pilgrims' Inn of Glastonbury Abbey, by the mid-nineteenth century the building was known as the George Hotel. The current name preserves both. The first record of the building is from 1439 when the tenant was N. Kynge. In 1493 Abbot John Selwood gave a "new" building to the abbey chamberlain. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries it became the property of the Duke of Somerset. By 1562, when a 21-year lease on the building was taken out by George Cowdrey, it was described as "in such great ruin that it is likely that in default of repair within a few years the rent will not be answered" but included "six featherbeds". In 1658 the property was divided and a horsemill installed to grind malt. The building was also used for meetings and inquiries for example by Royal Commissioners (in 1672) and the Quakers (in 1691). The front of the three-storey building is divided into three tiers of panels with traceried heads. Above the right of centre entrance arch are three carved panels bearing the coats of arms of the Abbey and of King Edward IV. The building is panelled and stone faced, with the stone work resembling that normally created in wood at the time of its construction. The stone columns reflect the arrangement of halls and chambers within the building. In front of the roof gables is a crenellated parapet with a small bell tower above. The interior includes a stone newel staircase and beneath the bar are large cellars. It is believed to be haunted. See also List of Grade I listed buildings in Mendip References Notes Bibliography
New Armouries

Die New Armouries, gebaut als New Storehouse, sind ein Gebäude in der Festungsanlage des Tower of London. Das Lagergebäude wurde 1663 bis 1664 durch das Board of Ordnance errichtet. Es handelt sich um das einzige noch erhaltene Lagergebäude des Boards im Tower und vermutlich das älteste erhaltene Board-of-Ordnance-Gebäude des Vereinigten Königreichs. Das U-förmige Gebäude ist aus leuchtend rotem Backstein errichtet, hat zwei Stockwerke und einen doppelstöckigen Dachboden. Die Bauarbeiten fanden unter der Leitung des Zimmerers John Scott und des Maurers Thomas Norfolk statt. Der von Säulen getragene Eingangsbereich stammt aus den 1950er Jahren, als das Gebäude zu einem Museum umgebaut wurde. Außen im originalen Fachwerk ist ein Ziergiebel befestigt, der ursprünglich vom Grand Storehouse stammt. Der von John Young Jun. 1691 gefertigte Giebel zeigt das Wappen des Boards of Ordnance zusammen mit Flaggen und Waffen. Drei Jahre nach Beginn der Stuart-Restauration begannen diese auch den Tower zu restaurieren und den Wünschen ihrer Zeit einzupassen. Erstes von diversen Bauprojekten war der Bau eines neuen Lagerhauses im Tower für Waffen und Vorräte. Die Vorarbeiten begannen im Juli 1663 mit der Anlage eines gepflasterten Wegs zum späteren Gebäude, und im Herbst 1664 zogen die Waffen aus dem White Tower in die New Armouries um. Als Samuel Pepys das neu gebaute Lager im November 1664 zusammen mit dem König und anderen Würdenträgern besichtigte, bescheinigte er dem Tower mit dem neuen Gebäude einen „noblen Anblick.“ Die New Armouries waren nur eines von zahlreichen Lagergebäuden des Boards of Ordnance, die sich auf dem Festungsgelände befanden. Allerdings handelte es sich um das erste seiner Art und ist als einziges noch erhalten. Im 20. Jahrhundert stellten die Royal Armouries hier Teile ihrer Sammlung aus. Mit dem Umzug der Sammlung nach Leeds wurden die New Armouries 1996 wieder frei. Seit Ende der 1990er sind in ihm das Restaurant und Café des Towers sowie Konferenz- und Festsäle untergebracht, die von Externen gemietet werden können. Die Küchen dazu befinden sich in den Kasematten der Außenmauer. Literatur Graham Keevill, Steve Kelly: The Tower of London New Armouries Project.

Parcelforce Worldwide er et handelsnavn i Royal Mail-koncernen og er organiseret i koncernens division for britiske pakker, internationale division og brevdivision. Der leveres over hele verden via. et netværk af internationale partnere. Den europæiske partner General Logistics Systems (GLS) er et datterselskab til Royal Mail og leverer over en million pakker om dagen i 34 europæiske lande. Parcelforce Worldwide er i direkte konkurrence med andre verdensleverandører som DHL, DX Group, FedEx og United Parcel Service. Parcelforce Worldwide driver et "hub and spoke" indleverings og omdelingssystem med to hubs i Coventry nær lufthavnen. Den ene hub er for pakker i Storbritannien og den anden hub er for internationale pakker. UK-huben er en af nationens største bygninger på 24.000 m2. Bygningen er højautomatiseret og kan håndtere op til 58.500 pakker i timen. Historie Pakkepostservicen i Royal Mail begyndte i 1883, og blev drevet gennem jernbaneselskaberne, senere også gennem Red Star Parcels og British Road Services. Royal Mail blev i 1986 opdelt i tre divisioner og i 1990 skiftede Royal Mail Parcels navn til Parcelforce. I 2002 blev pakkeleveringen overført til Royal Mail, således at Parcelforce nu koncentrerede sig om en og todagesleveringer.

Parcelforce

Parcelforce Worldwide is a courier and logistics service in the United Kingdom. Parcelforce Worldwide is a trading name of Royal Mail, which is a subsidiary of International Distribution Services, and is organised within the UK Parcels, International and Letters division of the group. The company delivers to destinations worldwide, using an international partner network. Parcelforce Worldwide is a provider of express delivery services covering 99.6% of the world's population, with over 6,500 employees. Its European delivery partner, General Logistics Systems (GLS), is also a subsidiary of International Distribution Services and delivers more than one million parcels a day across 34 countries in Europe. Parcelforce Worldwide is a direct competitor of other worldwide delivery brands, such as DHL, DX Group, FedEx and UPS. Parcelforce Limited operates a "hub and spoke" collection and delivery system with two hubs in the West Midlands, south of Coventry. One hub is for parcels for the United Kingdom, and the other for international parcels. The hub for the United Kingdom, one of the country's largest buildings, is a highly automated tracking and sorting centre covering 24,000 square metres (5.9 acres) and can handle up to 58,500 parcels an hour. History The Parcel Post service of Royal Mail was started in 1883, though parcel services operated by the railway companies, later Red Star Parcels and British Road Services, were also heavily used for many decades. Royal Mail was split into three divisions in 1986 and in March 1990, Royal Mail Parcels was rebranded as Parcelforce. In July 1992, the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, Michael Heseltine, proposed a privatisation of the Parcelforce business. He argued that the company provided most of its services to businesses rather than individuals, and that the competitive market it operated in meant there was no need for it to remain a publicly owned company. In March 2002, the universal parcels service was transferred to Royal Mail, leaving Parcelforce to concentrate on time-guaranteed, next-day and two-day express deliveries. In January 2007, Parcelforce Worldwide became the first express carrier in the United Kingdom to give its customers the option to offset the carbon emissions associated with the delivery of their parcels. The company allowed customers to donate 5p for a delivery for the United Kingdom, or 10p for an international delivery to the Woodland Trust. Parcelforce would then match the donation. In October 2012, Royal Mail announced an investment of £75 million in Parcelforce Worldwide planned over four years, which would involve the opening of new processing centres in Chorley, Lancashire and depots in Basingstoke, Hampshire and Bodmin, Cornwall. In September 2021, Aaron Barnes took over as managing director of Parcelforce Worldwide. Depot network Parcelforce Worldwide operates its collection and delivery services via a network of 54 local depots. References External links Official website
Castell de Highclere

El castell de Highclere és una casa de camp victoriana d'estil isabelí amb un parc al voltant dissenyat per Capability Brown. Es troba a Hampshire, al sud de Newbury, al comtat de Berkshire, Anglaterra. És la casa de camp de la família Herbert, comtes de Carnarvon. Història L'actual castell es troba al lloc on abans va haver-hi una altra casa, la qual va edificar-se sobre els fonaments del palau medieval dels bisbes de Winchester, que foren propietaris d'aquestes terres des del segle viii. El 1692 Robert Sawyer, un advocat i amic de Samuel Pepys, va llegar una mansió a Highclere a la seva única filla, Margaret. El seu segon fill, Robert Herbert, que heretà Highclere, començà a formar-hi la seva col·lecció de quadres, i creà els templets del jardí. El seu nebot, Henry Herbert, fou nomenat baró de Porchester i primer comte de Carnarvon pel rei Jordi III. Aleshores la casa era una mansió quadrada clàssica, però fou remodelada i reconstruïda per al tercer comte per Charles Barry entre 1839 i 1842, després que acabés de construir les cases del Parlament. Fou construïda en estil alt isabelí i es va fer servir pedra de Bath per a la façana. El terme 'alt isabelí' amb què es defineix l'estil de la mansió es refereix a l'arquitectura anglesa de finals del segle xvi i començaments de xvii, quan l'estil tudor tradicional estava sent desafiat per les noves tendències del Renaixement italià. La tanca exterior està decorada amb cornisses, un tret típic de l'arquitectura renaixentista. El tema renaixentista també és evident en tot el castell. Curiosament, al gran saló, que com passa a Mentmore, està sobre un pati central, encerclat amb arcades i llotges. Tanmateix, en un intent de fer-lo semblant a un gran saló anglès medieval, Barry mesclà estils introduint-hi influència gòtica. Aquesta barreja d'estils era comuna en aquell període. Tot i que les ales nord, est i sud estaven acabadees quan morí tant el comte el 1849 com Charles Barry el 1852, l'interior de l'ala oest encara estava sense acabar. El 4t baró trià l'arquitecte Thomas Allen, que havia treballat amb Barry, per supervisar les obres de l'interior del castell, que fou acabat definitivament el 1878. Aquest castell és l'escenari on transcorre la sèrie televisiva d'ITV Downton Abbey.
Highclere Castle

Highclere Castle is een Engels landgoed in het uiterste noorden van het graafschap Hampshire, ongeveer 8 km ten zuiden van Newbury (Berkshire) en 15 km ten noorden van Andover (Hampshire). Het landgoed wordt voor het eerst vermeld in 749, een Angelsaksische koning schonk het toen aan de bisschoppen van Winchester. Het huidige landhuis is het resultaat van een ingrijpende verbouwing in 1842–49 in Jacobethanische stijl. Het park werd ontworpen door Capability Brown in 1770. Highclere is de woonplaats van de graven van Carnarvon. Highclere Castle ligt op een landgoed van in totaal 2000 hectare. Het kasteel beslaat 30.000 vierkante meter en heeft in totaal 300 kamers, waarvan ongeveer 61 slaapkamers op de bovenste verdiepingen. Bewoners De beroemdste bewoner was Lord Carnarvon, de 5e graaf George Edward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert (1866-1923), die de opgraving van de Egyptische farao Toetanchamon financierde.

Замок Хайклер

Замок Ха́йклер (англ. Highclere Castle) — резиденция графов Карнарвонов с 1679 года, построенная в начале XVII века. Замок расположен на севере английского графства Хэмпшир, к югу от города Ньюбери, который находится уже в Беркшире. Нынешний владелец замка — Джордж Герберт, 8-й граф Карнарвон. История строительства Здание замка основано на фундаменте старого дворца. После того как дворец был почти полностью разрушен, на ещё прочном основании практически сразу был возведён замок Хайклер. Старым дворцом владели Винчестеры на протяжении многих веков. После того, как появился замок, сюда переселилась известная семья Карнарвонов. Один из графов был известным собирателем древностей и привёз в замок многие египетские артефакты. Он известен тем, что спонсировал раскопки Говарда Картера, приведшие к обнаружению гробницы Тутанхамона. Первой в гробницу ступила дочь графа — леди Эвелин. До XIX века замок имел классические формы, пока за него не взялся архитектор Чарльз Бэрри, который был приглашён хозяином для переобустройства Хайклера, и тогда он обрёл свои черты. Известно, что архитектор был вдохновлён и восхищён стилем Итальянского Возрождения. Чарльз Бэрри не успел полностью закончить работу, он умер, когда некоторые части замка ещё не были достроены. Тогда четвёртый граф пригласил на работу над замком Томаса Аллема. Аллем в своё время работал с Бэрри и смог продолжить переустройство замка после мастера. В 1878 году замок Хайклер обрёл нынешний вид. Современное состояние С большого расстояния замок Хайклер производит благоприятное впечатление, однако внутри историческое здание пришло в негодность. Орудийные башни строения нуждаются в срочном ремонте, а с потолка во многих комнатах замка течёт вода. Используются только первый и второй этажи здания. По крайней мере, 50 комнат непригодны для проживания. Если в 1906 году в замке прислуживали: камердинер, дворецкий, 14 лакеев, 25 горничных, 25 садовников, два шофёра и три повара, то в настоящее время[когда?] замок обслуживают только 9 слуг. По мнению 7-го графа Карнарвона, чьей семье принадлежит замок, ремонт этого, а также других зданий на территории поместья площадью 24 км² обойдётся в 12 млн фунтов стерлингов. 8-й граф Карнарвон недавно[когда?] подал заявку на получение разрешения на строительство объектов жилой недвижимости на территории поместья. Вырученные в результате продажи исторической земли деньги предлагается пустить на ремонт замка. В XXI веке замок используется для проведения экскурсий и пышных свадебных церемоний.

Bonnington Square

Bonnington Square is a square in Vauxhall, south London, which was built in the 1870s. It became famous in the 1980s when all the houses in it, vacant and awaiting demolition, were squatted, and the community formed continues to the present day. History Bonnington Square was constructed in the 1870s in order to house railway workers. By the late 1970s, Bonnington Square was compulsorily purchased by the Greater London Council (GLC) for the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA), which intended to demolish it in order to build a new school. A Turkish shopkeeper in one of the buildings managed to prevent the demolition through legal means during the period in which all the houses' occupants were departing, and shortly afterward squatters began moving into the vacated buildings. Squatted In the 1980s, the square was almost completely occupied. The squatters established a volunteer-run vegetarian cafė, a community garden on part of the square that had been bombed during the Second World War, a bar, a nightclub and a wholefoods shop. The squatters subsequently formed a housing cooperative and successfully negotiated with ILEA for the right to lease the buildings. The café and garden continue into the present. The Pleasure Garden The residents of the square undertook a project in 1990 to change the garden into a "Pleasure Garden" (named in homage to the nearby Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens), and in the process formed the Bonnington Square Garden Association. The garden occupies the space left by seven buildings bombed out in World War II. In 1998, the housing cooperative was permitted by the London Borough of Lambeth to purchase the buildings. The garden includes many tropical plants, including palm trees. In June 2018, two performances of Twelfth Night by Flute Theatre were held in the gardens in a production directed by actress Kelly Hunter.
