St Saviour's Church, Eastbourne

St Saviour's Church is a Church of England parish church in Eastbourne, East Sussex. The church is a grade II* listed building which was designed by G. E. Street. History St Saviour's Church was designed by George Edmund Street. On 17 October 1865, the foundation stone of the new church was laid.

There were later additions to the church: a baptistry was added in 1892; a chapel was added to the south in 1903; and church room was built in 1954. The church was originally dedicated as the Church of the Holy Saviour. In 1971, the neighbouring St Peter's Church was demolished and the two parishes were combined, but it remained St Saviour's Church.

Present day St Saviour's Church is in the parish of St. Saviour and St. Peter, Eastbourne in the Archdeaconry of Hastings of the Diocese of Chichester. The church was built as a Tractarian place of worship, and the parish currently stands in the Traditional Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England.

St Andrew's Church, South Runcton

St Andrew's is a redundant church in the village of South Runcton, Norfolk, England (grid reference TF635089). Dating from the 12th century, the church was almost entirely rebuilt between 1838 and 1839 by John Brown, the surveyor of Norwich Cathedral. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building and is under the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches. History The Church of St Andrew dates from the early 12th century. Almost nothing of this original church now remains. When the artist John Sell Cotman sketched the church in 1812 it was in complete ruin. In the 1830s, the Norwich Diocesan architect John Brown was engaged to undertake a rebuilding. Bill Wilson, writing in his Norfolk 2: North-West and South volume in the Buildings of England series, revised and re-issued in 2002, terms Brown's almost complete reconstruction "pitiless". Little beyond a fragment of the chancel arch remains of the original building. In 2023, having been declared redundant by the Church of England and attempts to identify alternative uses for the building having failed, St Andrew's was taken into the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches. As at 2025, the church remains closed while the FoFC undertakes a major restoration of the building, in consultation with Historic England. Architecture and description St Andrew's consists of a nave with porch, a chancel and a bellcote. The style is Romanesque Revival. The building material is brick, cased in cement render and with a slate roof. The interior is plain and whitewashed. The church is a Grade II* listed building.

Pelham House

Pelham House is a large red-bricked building at St Andrews Lane in Lewes, East Sussex. The building which was the headquarters of East Sussex County Council from 1938 to 1968, is a Grade II listed building. History The house was built for George Goring, one of the two members of parliament for Lewes, in about 1579. It remained in the Goring family until 1649, when it was sold to Peter Courthope, who served as Sheriff of Sussex in 1650. Courthope in turn sold it to Sir Thomas Pelham, one of the members of parliament for Sussex, in 1653. It remained in the Pelham family and, after it passed to Thomas Pelham of Catsfield in 1725, he arranged for it to be re-fronted in the classical style in the mid-18th century. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with seven bays facing north; the centre section of three bays featured a doorway with a fanlight on the ground floor with a large cast iron lamp above; there was a deep recess on the first floor with a large rounded headed window in the centre flanked by two square windows. Following the death of Thomas Pelham, 1st Earl of Chichester, the last member of the Pelham family to own the building, it was acquired by Thomas Campion, a wine importer, in 1805. After sale by the Campion family in the mid 19th century, it passed to John Fullager (a lawyer), then to William Robins (a brewer), to John Ingham Blencowe (an estate agent), to Margaret Sikes Duval (a spinster) and, finally, to William Taylor Banks (a stockbroker). The building was bought in 1928 by East Sussex County Council and converted to offices. In 1938 the building also became the meeting place of the county council, replacing the old County Hall, following the completion of an extension incorporating a council chamber and committee rooms. In addition, the county council built itself a large new office block called Southover House on the former gardens to the south of the house, which was also completed in 1938. During the Second World War, the Home Guard established a miniature rifle range in the grounds which were substantial and sloped downwards, in three tiers, to the south. The county council established offices at St Anne's Crescent in Lewes in 1968 but continued using offices in Pelham house for the chief executive's department and the legal and community services department and also continued to use the council chamber for county council meetings until October 2003. Southover House was sold to Lewes District Council in 1998. However, in the early 21st century, the house was then deemed surplus to requirements and was marketed for sale. It was acquired by a consortium of five families in 2004 and subsequently converted into a hotel and conference centre based on the plans of LCE Architects. After the consortium decided to dispose of its interest, the house was then bought by a venture known as Pelham House Lewes Ltd in 2018 and subsequently converted into a wedding venue based on plans by Sedley Place Design.

Church of All Saints, Chipstable

The Church of All Saints is an Anglican church in Chipstable, Somerset, England which probably dates from the early 13th century. It is located in the deanery of Tone, within the diocese of Bath and Wells. It is a Grade II* listed building. Usage The church is part of the Church of England, and forms a combined benefice with a number of other churches around Wiveliscombe, known as Wiveliscombe and the Hills. The churches share the same rector, The Reverend David Widdows, and are within the deanery of Tone, within the diocese of Bath and Wells. The church was a sole benefice until 1929. History and architecture A church has been located in Chipstable at least as far back as the early 11th century, and was recorded in the Domesday Book. The earliest known rector was "Stephen, Parson of Cyppestable", who was present in 1248. The church of Chipstable was administered by the monks of Muchelney Abbey until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538. In 1531, the Church of All Saints was dedicated. The church website dates the church tower to around 1239, although the Historic England listing describes it as 15th century. The tower is crenellated, and features what Nikolaus Pevsner describes as "handsome capitals of the three-bay arcade". Each of the four side of the three-stage tower has demi-figures of angels. The nave was rebuilt in 1869 by Benjamin Ferrey, in red sandstone with hamstone dressings, reusing the stone from the original building where possible. The nave has twin aisles, and a south porch which retains a 15th-century doorway, though the door is 19th century. The building combines Decorated and Perpendicular Gothic styles. The bell tower contained five bells until 1901, when a sixth was added. Two square-headed bench ends were retained when the building was renovated, dating from around 1530, featuring a pestle on one, and a huntsman on the other. A two-storey rectory dates from at least the early 17th century, and was rebuilt and enlarged in 1870. It was sold just over 100 years later, and is now known as "The Grange. A new rectory was built in 1975 in replacement. In the churchyard, a group of three chest tombs are Grade II listed; the oldest is from the 17th century, though with 18th century alterations, while the other two are 18th and 19th century respectively. The English Heritage listing noted that all three are damaged, and were overgrown when the survey was carried out. The name of John Hastings is visible on the oldest tomb, but the wording on the others was illegible. See also List of ecclesiastical parishes in the Diocese of Bath and Wells References

Torilla (house)

Torilla is a Grade II* listed house in Wilkin's Green Lane in Hatfield, England. It was designed in 1934–35 by F. R. S. Yorke in the modernist style and has influences from Le Corbusier's Maison La Roche. This was the first building designed by Yorke. Occupation and use Torilla was unoccupied for several decades and became derelict. According to an article in the Independent on 19 March 1995, "the house had always been almost uninhabitable because of faults in its experimental design. The concrete walls and roof were too thin and lacked thermal insulation. Mould grew on walls and curtains and clothing rotted when it was heated because of excess condensation on cold walls." The cost of repairs to make it habitable was estimated at £400,000. Listing and conservation According to the Independent article, Torilla had been listed in 1983 then delisted the following year when permission was given to demolish it. It was bought by a new purchaser on 11 May 1993 who intended to demolish it, but who discovered it had been re-listed the previous month, on 23 April 1993. The architect John Winter later took on the work of conservation of the house. References Further reading Architectural Review, September 1935, pp. 97–99. Gould, Jeremy.
