The Chalk Hills Academy

The Chalk Hills Academy (formerly Halyard High School, Barnfield West Academy and West Academy) is a Mixed secondary school and sixth form, part of Advantage Schools located in the west of Luton in Bedfordshire, England. History Halyard High School converted to academy status on 1 September 2007 and became part of the Barnfield Federation. Many school buildings were renovated as part of Building Schools for the Future programme. From 2006 until 2010, Rachel de Souza (now Children's Commissioner for England) was the headteacher at Barnfield West Academy and received recognistion for significantly improving the overall performance of the school since it became an academy, as significantly noted in its ofsted reports. With the academy being issued a "Outstanding" grade from Ofsted in its 2010 inspection. In 2012, Barnfield West Academy achieved excellent value for money status from Ofsted as being run by a federation and was shown as good practice example in the governments drive to increase the number of academies. In 2015, the school split with the Barnfield Federation and became part of The Shared Learning Trust. This was due to an investigation into the Barnfield Federation by the Skills Funding Agency & the Education Funding Agency into financial mishandling, claiming for students incorrectly and grade issues. The school was subsequently renamed West Academy for a short time before being renamed The Chalk Hills Academy in December 2015. On 1 September the academy joined Advantage Schools after The Shared Learning Trust merged with Advantage Schools.

Barnsley Hall Hospital

Barnsley Hall Hospital was a psychiatric facility located in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. History The hospital was based on a 324-acre (131 ha) site purchased by the County Council in 1899. It was designed by George Thomas Hine and opened in 1907, to relieve pressure on the county's only existing asylum, Powick Hospital near Malvern and to serve the northern part of the county. It was used as a military hospital during the First World War. By 1929, it had become known as Worcestershire Mental Hospital and had reached its capacity of around 720 patients. It was used as a military hospital again during the Second World War. It joined the National Health Service as Barnsley Hall Mental Hospital in 1948 and became Barnsley Hall Hospital for Nervous and Mental Diseases in 1949. Additional buildings increased its capacity to about 1,200. It provided a continuation of psychiatric care after the Powick Hospital closed in 1989 and closed itself in 1996. Originally reserved as an Area of Development Restraint following the closure of the hospital, the land has been replaced by residential development as part of a drive to sell off NHS property in order to increase national housing stock in conjunction with a government plan to construct housing at affordable rents, while the sale would boost the NHS funds. After closure, only the administration block, part of the original complex designed by architect George Thomas Hine, an airing court shelter, and the porter's lodge, were retained. Attempts to get its landmark water tower listed failed and it was finally demolished in 2000. The airing court shelter was moved to Avoncroft Museum in 2012.

Barnwell Priory

Barnwell Priory was an Augustinian priory at Barnwell in Cambridgeshire, founded as a house of Canons Regular. The only surviving parts are 13th-century claustral building, which is a Grade II* listed, and remnants found in the walls, cellar and gardens of Abbey House. The priory was home to the Barnwell chronicler, an anonymous chronicler who wrote about the reign of King John. History The priory was founded in c.1092 by Picot of Cambridge, High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire, as a house of canons regular in St Giles' Church by Cambridge Castle. The Liber Memorandorum Ecclesie de Bernewelle (the Book of Things to do with Barnwell) says that Picot's wife, Hugolina, had been gravely ill and vowed that if she recovered, she would found a religious house. She recovered: although Picot endowed the priory, it could well have been on his wife's instructions. Two other East Anglian houses of canons regular were founded around this time: Colchester Priory and Huntingdon Priory. It is likely that Picot's foundation was established using canons from one of these houses, probably Huntingdon (whose canons later went to found Merton Priory). Canons regular followed the Rule of St Augustine. Picot endowed the six brethren with an income from tithes and with a number of rectories. After Picot and Hugolina's death, the priory fell into the hands of Henry I, who then gave it to Pain Peverel. Not much is known about Pain Peverel, but he had ambitions for the priory, and persuaded Henry to grant him land on the eastern edge of Cambridge so that he could move and expand the priory, which now became Barnwell Priory. These lands increased by donations from local landowners, and over time the priory itself grew in size and strength until there were 30 canons in residence. Barnwell held an annual fair, the Barnwell or Midsummer Fair, which added to its income. Having an active scriptorium, well-stocked library and, because of its role as landlord, plenty of business for attorneys, Barnwell seems to have helped the early University of Cambridge become established. Much of what we know of the details of English Augustinian life come from the Barnwell Observances, written in the 13th century. The priory was wealthy, and its position as local landowner meant that it was a target during the Peasants' Revolt (1381). The English Parliament met here for the only time in what was known as the Cambridge Parliament between 10 September and 17 October 1388. The priory was dissolved on 11 November 1538 as part of the general Dissolution of the Monasteries and granted to Anthony Brown c.1546 and Edward, Lord Clinton c.1552. The buildings became ruinous and were almost thoroughly destroyed in 1810.

See pages 222-251. John Bowtell recorded the final description of the priory remains in 1812. External links http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=40001

Barr Beacon School

Barr Beacon School, formerly Barr Beacon Language College, is a mixed secondary school in Walsall, England, which acquired Academy status in 2011, when it readopted the school's original name: Barr Beacon School. It takes this name from the adjacent hill, Barr Beacon. The school was designated a specialist Language College in September 2003 but does not have this designation today. It has over 1500 pupils, including a sixth form of approximately 200. History The school was built to serve the adjacent Pheasey Estate, and opened in 1958 under the same headmastership as Aldridge Grammar School. In 1960 it had its own headmaster, Mr. Tyas, Deputy Head, Mr Brown, as an 11-15 plus 1 year GCE O Level secondary modern school for 300 pupils before converting to a 13-18 comprehensive in September 1972 under the reorganisation of schools in Aldridge-Brownhills, the urban district that was absorbed into the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall in 1974. However, it was reorganised into an 11-18 school in September 1986, and has retained that age range ever since. 1983 arson attack An arson attack took place at the school on the morning of 5 June 1983. 70 firefighters used water from the school swimming pool to extinguish the fire, which destroyed ten classrooms and caused £500,000 worth of damage. The headmaster was David Lobley. Subjects Subjects studied at Barr Beacon: English Literature, English Language, mathematics, German, French, biology, physics, chemistry, computer science, history, geography, psychology, dance, drama, art, textiles, child development, physical education, health and social care, media studies. Construction The building was initially planned and constructed by Ian Woodley Associates with surveying and mapping of the area completed by P. O'Connor and sons. Actual construction beginning in March 1951. Actual construction was completed by an amalgamation of Ian Woodley Associates, Gaz Baldwyn-Jolly plastering limited and Whalley Forklift rentals. The first building (currently A block) was completed before schedule in late 1952 and the final block originally planned (currently D block) being completed on time in 1958 ready for teaching in the same year. Once the first canteen (located in A block) was built the kitchen was furnished by N. Burnett & Co. catering suppliers to provide food for staff and students at the school. School performance The school was judged Outstanding in its Ofsted inspection of 2014. As of 2023, its most recent inspection was in November 2022, with an outcome of Good.

Barr Beacon Reservoir

Barr Beacon Reservoir is a covered, hill-top drinking water reservoir at Barr Beacon, Walsall, England, opened in 1899. It is operated by South Staffs Water. One of the uses of the reservoir is to transfer water from the company's works at Hampton Loade, on the River Severn, to Burton upon Trent. Water is pumped uphill from the Sedgley Beacon Reservoirs, which receive water from Hampton Loade, through 45-inch (110 cm) mains to Barr Beacon Reservoir via West Bromwich Booster. A 36-inch (91 cm) main then carries water by gravity via Seedy Mill works to Burton on Trent. The water company also operates a weather station, one of several in its network, at the reservoir, to monitor temperature, hours of sunshine, and rainfall. The reservoir was re-roofed in 1969, temporarily exposing the brick arches which support the roof. In August 2013, Severn Trent Water launched a £2 million project to build a 2 1/2 mile pipeline linking their Perry Barr Reservoir to Barr Beacon Reservoir, to allow for the exchange of water in emergencies such as severe droughts. 2011 flooding incident Shortly after 5am on 12 November 2011, the 36-inch water main north of the reservoir burst, emptying the reservoir of around 2,000,000 litres (440,000 imp gal) of water, and flooding up to 150 homes in Aldridge Road, and Elm Tree Road in the Blackwood estate in the Streetly area of Sutton Coldfield. Dozens of families had to be evacuated. Eleven fire trucks, from stations as far away as Erdington, and a high-volume pump from Sheldon, attended. A fire service boat was also deployed. The West Midlands Police, police helicopter, ambulance service and a specialist Automobile Association vehicle recovery unit also attended. Waters did not subside until 8am. The cause of the burst was not known, but South Staffs Water estimated that the floods caused more than a £1 million of damage. References External links Image of the inside of the reservoir
Barr Beacon

Barr Beacon is a hill on the edge of Walsall, West Midlands, England, very near the border with Birmingham. It gives its name to nearby Great Barr (the Beacon borders the Pheasey area of Great Barr) and to the local secondary school Barr Beacon School. It is historically the site of a beacon where fires were lit in times of impending attack or on celebratory occasions. The site is on green belt land and is of local importance for nature conservation, as defined by Walsall Borough Council, who have designated some 60 acres (25 ha) of it as a Local Nature Reserve. Ownership and management Barr Beacon was formerly owned by the Scott family of Great Barr Hall, nearby. Following the death of Lady Mildred Scott in 1909, the estate was auctioned off in 1918. Birmingham's Lord Mayor made a plea for the site to be secured as a public park. Colonel J. H. Wilkinson of the Staffordshire Volunteer Infantry Brigade responded by purchasing it, then transferring it to a trust. It opened to the public on Easter Monday, 21 April 1919. In 1972, the trusteeship of Barr Beacon passed to Walsall Council. The council now manages Barr Beacon on behalf of the Barr Beacon Trust., with a management committee comprising local councillors and representatives of interest groups. During both 2002 and 2003 the site attracted an estimated 200,000 visitors. Views As one of the highest points in the West Midlands county, Barr Beacon has panoramic views. According to the Walsall Council website, visible landmarks include The Wrekin, Cannock Chase, the Lickey Hills, Lichfield Cathedral, Aldridge Airport, and Birmingham city centre, and at least eleven counties are visible, including Powys in Wales. Memorial On one summit is Barr Beacon Reservoir, a South Staffordshire Waterworks Company covered drinking water reservoir with radio masts and on the other a war memorial consisting of a raised dais, covered by a copper-clad wooden dome supported by eight columns. On the night of 5 March 2010, thieves stole some of the copper roofing, damaging much more in the process; this happened again twice in 2011. In early 2013, the copper sheeting was replaced using green zinc-coated panels, and CCTV was installed. See also Beacon Way References External links Computer generated summit panorama
Barrington Court

Barrington Court je tudorovské panské sídlo v Barringtonu poblíž Ilminsteru v hrabství Somerset v Anglii. Bylo založeno kolem roku 1538 a dokončeno na konci 50. let 16. století. Zahrada V 16. století byl dům obklopen oborou. Na konci 50. let 16. století, William Clifton přijal opatření u soudu Hvězdné komory, proti místním pytlákům, kteří lovili zvěř v parku, zatímco byl mimo panství. Zbytky původních zahrad obsahují zvýšenou obdélníkovou oblast nebo parter 70×50 m v blízkosti pravidelné nádrže nebo kanálu, která měří 12×110 m. Existují geofyzikální důkazy o další úpravě na formální zahradu ze 17. století. Barrington Court je známý pro své zahrady ve stylu Arts and Crafts, pro které vytvořila plány výsadby zahradní architekta Gertrude Jekyll. Zahrady založil v roce 1917 J. E. Forbes, partner ve firmě Forbes & Tate pro podplukovníka Arthura A. Lyla. Je zde řada oplocených ploch, kde se nachází růžová zahrada, kosatcová zahrada a liliová zahrada. K obnově zahrady jsou používány původní plány, ale schéma výsadby bylo změněno a namísto návrhu Gertrude Jeckyll se užívá návrh paní Lyle z 60. let 20. století. Zdi kuchyňské zahrady byly postaveny v roce 1920 a to včetně dvou bran s neoklasicistní zárubní. Štěrkové cesty se spojují ve centru středové lochy, kde je fontána obklopená ovocnými stromy, zeleninou a měkkým ovocem. K dispozici jsou brány pro kočáry z tepaného železa. Výpěstky kuchyňské zahrady, které zahrnují mnoho druhů ovoce a zeleniny, je zásobována místní restaurace, nacházející se v přilehlém domě Strode House. Zdejší základní škola St Mary & St Peter's CE VC Primary School, v Barringtonu a Iltonu má záhony, kde děti sází, pěstují a zpracovávají rostliny. U stěn jsou vysázeny jabloně, hrušně a slivoně. K zahradě je připojen kurt na squach. Více než 20 m jihozápadně od domu jsou neobvyklé sluneční hodiny. Byly postaveny z kamene a bronzu, na kamenném sloupu. Zahrady jsou zapsány na národním registru historických parků a zahrad v Anglii. Odkazy Reference V tomto článku byl použit překlad textu z článku Barrington Court na anglické Wikipedii.

Barrow-in-Furness Main Public Library

Barrow-in-Furness Main Public Library (more usually known as Barrow Central Library or Barrow Library) is a Grade II listed Beaux-Arts style building located at Ramsden Square, Barrow-in-Furness, England. Operated since 2023 by Westmorland and Furness Council, it is the largest library in the town and the present structure, designed by J A Charles was originally built as a Carnegie library with support from the Carnegie Foundation. The first library in Barrow was opened on 18 September 1882 in temporary iron buildings in Schneider Square; in 1887 this was transferred to a room within Barrow Town Hall. The growing population meant that a larger building was needed and this was eventually met by the construction of the present accommodation at the junction of Abbey Road with Ramsden Square. The building itself bears a date of 1915 (denoted by an engraving by the main entrance which reads 'ANNO DNI MCMXV'), although delays brought about by World War I meant that it wasn't actually completed and opened until 1922. The library formerly housed the Furness Museum which held artefacts both from across the world and also from the local area. The museum (always operated by Barrow Borough Council) was opened in 1930 in an upstairs lecture room. It closed in 1991 and most of the exhibits were eventually moved to larger purpose-built premises next to Walney Channel - the Dock Museum. After building modifications in 1998, the library has also worked with the Cumbria Archive Service in the joint operation of a local archives or county record office branch. This now shares a public searchroom together with the local studies library. Besides the Central Library there are currently five other libraries in the present borough: Askam, Barrow Island, Dalton, Roose and Walney. A sixth branch at Ormsgill has now been replaced by a library link facility in Ormsgill Children's Centre References
