Hummersknott Academy

Hummersknott Academy is a secondary school in Darlington in the north east of England. It has approximately 1,250 pupils aged eleven to sixteen. It has had specialist Language College status since 2005. History The school began as the Darlington High School, a girls' grammar school, in 1885. This school moved to new premises in 1955, officially opened by the Duke of Edinburgh on 15 November 1955. In 1968 it was reorganised by the then Darlington County Borough to form one of six 11–16 co-educational comprehensive schools, with the Boys' Grammar School becoming a sixth form college nearer the town centre and near to the College of Technology, now known as QE (Queen Elizabeth). New build In July 2007 a £15 million scheme to demolish and replace some school buildings and renovate others was initiated. The bulk of the funding was provided by national government, with the local council providing £2.7m and the school £0.7m. Work began on the school building during the summer of 2007, although plans for the new design were drawn up a year earlier. The work was completed in 2010 and the refurbished school was 'reopened' by the Duke of Gloucester in September 2010. The main hall was refurbished and new lighting and stage area was included in the refurbishment. Academy Trust The school became a self-governing academy, under the name Hummersknott Academy on 1 July 2011. It is operated by the Hummersknott Academy Trust, a company limited by guarantee. On 1 February 2013, the Hummersknott Academy Trust was reconstituted as a multi-academy trust when it took over the newly formed Skerne Park Academy (a converting primary school) in the town. In January 2023 it was announced that a multi-academy trust in County Durham had bought the school; the deal was completed in September 2023. House and college reform Originally, when a grammar school for girls, the school had six houses into which all pupils were distributed and these houses competed against each other in sporting and music competitions for the House Shield. The shields of each house can be seen above the doorways on the front of the school building. These houses were: Barrett, Bede, Caedmon, Carroll, St Hild and Wycliffe. The house system was changed in the late 1980s and the school then had four houses: Dunelm, Edinburgh, Starmer and Trinity. In July 2006 these were replaced by a system of colleges.

Hungerford Almshouses

The Hungerford Almshouses in Corsham, Wiltshire, England, were built in 1668 for Lady Margaret Hungerford of Corsham Court. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building. The almshouses were founded to provide homes for six (later eight) poor people and education for ten children, on a site on the eastern edge of the town, near the south entrance to Corsham Court. The L-shaped building has six houses for single women along its north-east side, each with a gable and mullioned windows; at the centre is a Baroque carving of the Hungerford arms described as "flamboyant" by Orbach. The west side has the warden's house and a combined schoolroom and chapel, and a full-height porch which is also elaborately embellished. Margaret Hungerford was the daughter of William Holliday, a wealthy London merchant and alderman, and the widow of Sir Edward Hungerford. In 1802, Edward Hasted was given the Mastership of The Hungerford Almshouses by his friend William Bouverie, who had become Earl of Radnor in 1765. Hasted remained Master of the Almshouse from 1807 until his death in 1812. The site, also known as Lady Margaret Hungerford Almshouses & Schoolroom and Corsham Almshouses & 17th Century Schoolroom, is operated as a visitor attraction.

Hunsdon House

Hunsdon House is a historic house in Hunsdon, Hertfordshire, England, northwest of Harlow. Originally constructed in the 15th century, it was most notably the estate of Henry VIII of England. It has been rebuilt several times since then, and is no longer as grand as it was in the Tudor era. It is a Grade I listed building. Early history It was originally constructed of brick in 1447 by Sir William Oldhall in the shape of a tower, but as Oldhall supported the House of York during the Wars of the Roses, he was stripped of the property by the Lancastrian Henry VI. Upon the Yorkist Edward IV's accession to the throne in 1471, the land was returned to the Oldhall family. John Oldhall then died in the Battle of Bosworth and with the Lancastrians back in power, the estate was taken over by Henry VII. Henry traded it to his mother Margaret Beaufort for Old Soar Manor in Kent in 1503. After the death of Margaret in 1509, her grandson Henry VIII gave it to Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk in 1514. Howard's son reduced the height of the tower for safety reasons in 1524. Tudor era When Henry VIII retook possession in 1525 after Thomas Howard's death, he set about expanding the house into a palatial estate in the Tudor style, complete with royal apartments and even a moat. Although he visited frequently and enjoyed hunting in the deerpark, the house was mainly used for his children, especially Mary, who lived there until her accession to the throne. She even inherited the house after the death of her father and kept it until her death. Prince Edward notably spent much time at Hunsdon, most famously in 1546 when his portrait was painted with the house in the background. Elizabeth I made her cousin Henry Carey the first Baron Hunsdon, after granting the house to him in 1559. Recent centuries The manor stayed in the Carey family for over 100 years, after which it passed to the Bluck family and then the Calvert family. Much of Henry VIII's expansions were torn down in the early 17th century, and the moat was filled some time in the 18th century. The house was rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century, but 1860 renovations by Nicolson Calvert changed much of the architecture to an Elizabethan style. One last renovation in 1983 revealed some of the 15th-century brickwork. The current house is less than a quarter of its size under Henry VIII. Today the building is Grade I listed, privately owned and not open to the public. It is possible to view the exterior from public footpaths when walking the area.

Hunsdon House

Hunsdon House är ett slott i Hunsdon, Hertfordshire i England, nordväst om Harlow. Det var ett kungligt slott mellan 1525 och 1559, och är främst känt som kungligt Tudorslott, men byggnaden har blivit kraftigt ombyggt sedan Tudortiden och är betydligt mindre än det var då. Historik Herrgården uppfördes av Sir William Oldhall 1447. Det tillhörde Margaret Beaufort 1503-1509 och sedan Thomas Howard, 2:e hertig av Norfolk innan det köptes av Henrik VIII 1525. Henrik VIII byggde ut Hundsdon herrgård till ett praktfullt kungligt slott med vallgrav och kungliga våningar. Kungen använde ofta slottet för jakt samt bostad åt sina barn. Edvard VI bodde ofta på Hunsdon. Maria I ärvde slottet efter sin fars död 1547, och bodde ofta där fram till sin tronbestigning 1553. Elisabet I var dock inte intresserad av slottet utan gav det till Henry Carey, 1:e baron Hunsdon 1559. Hunsdon House ägdes av familjen Carey i hundra år. Byggnaden minskades kraftigt i storlek när Henrik VIII:s ombyggnationer revs under 1600-talet, vallgraven avlägsnades på 1700-talet och ytterligare ombyggnader på 1800-talet förändrade dess utseende. Byggnaden minskade med tre fjärdedelar från dess omfång på Tudortiden. Referenser Externa länkar Wikimedia Commons har media som rör Hunsdon House.
Victoria Riverside (Leeds)

Victoria Riverside (formerly known as the Hunslet Mill and Victoria Works Complex) is a series of very large previously disused mill buildings regenerated into apartment buildings on Goodman Street in Leeds, England. The regeneration, carried out between 2017 and 2023, introduced two new buildings alongside the restoration of five listed structures. Background The complex contains five listed buildings, plus two new buildings added during the regeneration project from 2017 to 2023. The five individual listed structures within the complex are Hunslet Mill (Grade II*), Victoria Flax Mill entrance range and bollards, Victoria Works Range, the former drying house part of Victoria Flax Mill complex, and Mill Range (all Grade II listed). At the time of its completion, the mill was the largest regeneration project of its kind in Europe. History 1800–1970: Hunslet Mill and Victoria Works Complex In 1838 the Victoria Works mill was constructed for W. B. Holdsworth. Victoria Works was occupied by a tailoring company called Botterill & Senior from the 1930s and later was owned by a firm of ironmongers called R. H. Bruce. The adjacent Hunslet Mill was constructed by William Fairbairn for John Wilkinson and completed circa 1842. By 1847 some 1,500 female staff were employed in the mill reeling flax. The mill was occupied by a firm of linen manufacturers called Richard Buckton and Son from 1868 and then by a firm of blanket weavers called Dodgson and Hargreaves from the mid-1920s until it closed in 1966. 2017–2023: Victoria Riverside The complex, which had been derelict since the 1970s, was purchased by developers Evans Property Group and Caddick Developments. However these development plans ultimately failed to commence, meaning that the complex remained derelict until the current developers, JM Construction, bought the site in the mid-2010s to redevelop it. The scheme was supported by Leeds City Council as a part of its brownfield redevelopment plans. The project to redevelop the complex was approved by the council in 2017 and construction began the same year. During the redevelopment a piece of newspaper was found dated 1919 amongst other artefacts by the developers. The development, which is called Victoria Riverside, consists of 356 apartments. The first phase of the redevelopment was completed in 2019. In 2019 Historic England praised the redevelopment and the developer for their "vision and commitment". The final portion of the redevelopment was completed and sold for £17 million in 2023.

Huntingdon Racecourse

Huntingdon Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located in Brampton near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, England. It is located on a Site of Special Scientific Interest of the original Brampton Racecourse. The most notable race held at Huntingdon Racecourse is the Peterborough Chase in December. History The first race meeting at Huntingdon Racecourse took place on Easter Monday, 1886. The race was a three mile steeplechase won by a horse named Catherine The Great. In 1920, the racecourse was part of the Huntingdon Steeplechase Group managed by Bob Lenton for 25 years. In 1953, chairman of the committee John Goodcliff managed construction of the grandstand that still stands on the racecourse today. The Peterborough Chase is Huntingdon's showpiece event and started in 1969. By 1979 it secured its formal name as used today. The race has seen big name winners including Best Mate and One Man. Edredon Bleu is the most successful horse in the race, winning four times in a row between 1998 and 2001. Trainer Henrietta Knight saddled 8 winners in the race over 10 years. Currently the racecourse is owned and operated by The Jockey Club. Huntingdon Racecourse has been voted Best Small Racecourse in South Midlands and East Anglia by the Racegoers Club twice in 2011 and 2014. Course Huntingdon Racecourse only hosts National Hunt races. It is an oval shaped course that runs right-handed. It is notable for its flatness, with few undulations. It is a fast course, however due to its location there can be muddy and testing conditions. The steeplechase course has nine fences, meanwhile the hurdle course has five on each circuit. The home straight features two fences for each type. Until 2008, Huntingdon featured a water jump. The land the racecourse is on was originally known as Brampton Racecourse. It is a 21.1-hectare (52-acre) Site of Special Scientific Interest. It sits on the flood plain of Alconbury Brook and has a number of rare species including the largest population of green-winged orchids in the UK. Over the years, Huntingdon Racecourse has suffered with extensive flooding which has caused a number of race days to be postponed. Notable races References

Hunton Park

Hunton Park is a large country house and estate in Abbots Langley, in south west Hertfordshire, in the United Kingdom. It was originally called Hazelwood House when first built in the early 19th century. The original house was destroyed in 1908 and completely rebuilt. It is now a hotel owned by the Khanna family. History A wealthy Londoner Henry Botham built the first Hazelwood House from around 1810 as a country residence. Between 1810 and 1826 he acquired some 53 acres (21 ha) of surrounding land as a park. The ownership of Hazelwood House stayed in the Botham family for many years. It later passed around 1850 to Sir Henry Robinson Montagu, the 6th Lord Rokeby, a soldier who had fought at Waterloo as a 16-year-old Ensign and later commanded a division of the British army in the Crimean War. Other notable owners include Admiral Ralph Cator from 1886 and the Vicar of Honingham, Henry Stewart Gladstone in the early 20th century. Gladstone made a thousand pounds worth of improvements to the property, but a fire on 8 March 1908 completely destroyed the house, and it had to be demolished. Assisted by an insurance compensation of £10,500, Gladstone built the second Hazelwood House, similar in appearance to the first, but sited at a different angle to the ornamental grounds. In 1930, the house was sold to Francis Edwin Fisher, a substantial landowner, farmer, meat wholesaler and businessman who frequently travelled the world with his wife, the explorer and journalist Violet Cressy-Marcks. During their absences, the house was left empty or rented out. Among the short-term occupants of this period was the Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, an exile from his country after the invasion by Italy in 1936. From 1939 to 1971, the house went through various uses and often stood empty. Part of the estate was taken over by the Ministry of Defence for aircraft manufacture, later becoming the Rolls-Royce aircraft factory, and, in the 1990s, Leavesden Film Studios. In the 1970s, the cinema industry became interested in the house as a location, and a number of the Hammer House of Horror Productions were filmed there (including Lust For a Vampire as well as The Executioner directed by Sam Wanamaker, and The Raging Moon (1971) by director Bryan Forbes. Shortly after this period, Paul Edwin Hember, the owner of several small businesses, bought the house and changed its name to Hunton Park.
