Lawnswood School

Lawnswood School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in the Lawnswood area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The school was founded in 1972 and had its first comprehensive intake in 1974. Its predecessors were the Leeds Modern School, a boys' grammar school (founded 1845) attended by Alan Bennett, and Lawnswood High School for Girls, a girls' grammar school (founded 1854), which moved to the current Lawnswood site in 1932. The sixth form was judged as Grade 2 and "consistently good" in the 2009 Ofsted inspection, but the school as a whole was rated as Grade 4 (Inadequate) for overall effectiveness. and consequently placed into special measures. During an early 2011 Ofsted visit, the school was judged to be "making good progress in all the key areas," and in July 2011 the school was taken out of special measures. In late 2013, Ofsted rated the school Grade 2 (Good) for overall effectiveness.

Lawrence Batley Theatre

Lawrence Batley Theatre is a theatre in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England which offers drama, music, dance and comedy. The theatre is named after Lawrence Batley, a local entrepreneur and philanthropist, who founded a nationwide cash and carry chain. The building was originally built in 1819 as a Methodist chapel, called the Queen Street Chapel. The architect is unknown but the chief mason was Joseph Kaye, the man who was also responsible for Huddersfield station. It was opened on 9 July 1819 and the reporter in the Leeds Mercury described it as "one of the most handsome and commodious chapels in the kingdom; being capable of accommodating 3000 persons, and has been erected at an expense of from 8 to £10,000". The chapel became a mission in 1906 until a decline in numbers saw the mission move out of the building in 1970 to a new building in King Street. In 1973 the building was converted into an arts centre; serious structural problems discovered by Kirklees Metropolitan Council in 1975 meant that the Arts Centre was rehoused on Venn Street, with the chapel building remaining vacant before being sublet to Novosquash Limited and converted into a squash club known as The Ridings. It also housed a restaurant and The Catacombs Disco. In 1989 the Kirklees Theatre Trust was given the go ahead to save the building from deterioration and launch Huddersfield's newest theatre. Building work for the theatre started in September 1992 and took 4 years to complete.

St Andrew's Church, Steart

St Andrew's Church is a Church of England church in Steart, Somerset, England. The church, which was built in 1882, is now used for services periodically. History St Andrew's was erected as a chapel of ease to the parish church of St Mary Magdalene, Stockland Bristol, at the expense of Rev. Henry A. Daniel, vicar of the parish between 1857 and 1883, for £700. The vicar also provided the church with an endowment of over £1,000 under the requirement that at least one Sunday service would be held there each week. Rev. Daniel embarked on the scheme as the residents of the isolated village of Steart, largely fishermen and their families, were a considerable distance from all three nearby parishes and their churches: Stockland Bristol, Otterhampton and Combwich. The church was designed by Messrs Foster and Wood of Bristol and was constructed by Messrs Joseph Willis and Son of Bridgwater. St Andrew's opened on 30 November 1882. On 6 July 1962, the Bishop of Bath and Wells, Rev. Edward Henderson, dedicated a newly created pathway and gate to the church, which had been formed across land donated by Stanley Stone of Church Farm. St Andrew's had previously only been accessible by crossing through a field. The dedication was requested by Patrick Daniel, a descendant of Rev. Daniel, and marked the first formal visit by a Bishop of the Diocese to Steart. The church received serious damage to its roof on the night of 21 June 1986, when the bell turret was struck by lightning and collapsed during storms that hit southwest England. The Sunday service due to be held the following day was transferred to the parish church. It was subsequently restored, but the turret was not replaced. The church is one of seven churches belonging to the Quantock Gate Parishes, a benefice of five parishes. The parish church of St Mary's remains the main place of worship in the parish of Stockland Bristol, but services continue to be held at St Andrew's approximately three to four times a year. The church is also open for visitors and prayer on a daily basis. Architecture St Andrew's is built of red brick in the Early English style, with Staffordshire tiles on its roof. It was constructed with double walls, a bordered ceiling and bell turret. The interior is made up of a nave, south porch and vestry. The original seats were made from pitch pine and the windows filled with cathedral glass. References
Lawrence Hall, London

Lawrence Hall in Greycoat Street, Westminster is a building which is currently used as a sports centre and before that has been used as the newer of the two Royal Horticultural Halls owned by R.H.S. Enterprises Limited, which is part of the Royal Horticultural Society charity in central London. The other is Lindley Hall in Elverton Street; both are close to the RHS' headquarters in Vincent Square. The site of Lawrence Hall incorporates a self-contained purpose-built conference centre above the main hall. The building's name relates to Trevor Lawrence, president of the Royal Horticultural Society from 1885 to 1913 who was chiefly responsible for moving the Society from its expensive Kensington site to a more practical home in Westminster in 1904. Lawrence Hall has vaulted ceilings and Art Deco interior features. It was awarded a gold medal by the Royal Institute of British Architects for its dramatic architecture. It was constructed between 1925 and 1928 and was designed by the partnership of Easton and Robertson. The tall parabolic arches which begin as square piers are credited to Easton, derived from the reinforced concrete work of Hennebique and Freyssinet. It has been listed Grade II* on the National Heritage List for England since 1983. Lawrence Hall and the conference centre underwent a £1.2 million renovation in 2006. Although built as an exhibition hall, Lawrence Hall was increasingly used for product launches and conferences. In December 2011, the RHS announced that it had leased the hall for 999 years to Westminster School for £18 million, the terms allowing the hall to continue to be used for four RHS flower shows each year. Westminster School has converted the building for use as a sports centre. It was used as a filming location for Pink Floyd - The Wall, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Richard III, The Saint, Killing Eve, and Children of Men.

Parkfield Community School

Parkfield Community School is a primary school in Saltley, Birmingham, West Midlands, England. In 2013, it became an academy school, which means it receives its funding directly from the central rather than local government, in contrast with a community school. The government authority Ofsted found that the school maintained high standards in inspections in 2016 and 2019. In 2019 98% of the students were Muslim. No Outsiders controversy Parkfield received extended national attention starting in 2016 over its No Outsiders curriculum which teaches tolerance of differences. The programme had been created in 2014 by assistant headteacher (as of 2019) Andrew Moffat, who is gay. There were extended protests and activism by parents against the programme for several years, which grew to include people from other faiths from outside the local area. The protesters accused the school of encouraging the children to be gay. Some of the allegations circulated in the controversy included that the "sexual mechanics" of homosexuality were depicted to children with clay figures, which the school broadly denied. Ofsted confirmed that the programme was appropriate. Following 5 months of consultation the programme restarted in September 2019, entitled "No Outsiders for a Faith Community", and included year group consultations with parents in advance of the lessons starting. Despite Ofsted having assessed the programme as age-appropriate, objections from some parents, and calls for him to be dismissed, continued. In 2019 Birmingham City Council applied to the High Court for an injunction to create an exclusion zone to protect the affected schools from organised protests following an investigation by the Commission for Countering Extremism which revealed the protests had been taken over by Hizb ut-Tahir and other pro-Islamist groups, unconnected to either school, with a specific aim to “entrench social division” and “amplify hate” against LGBT people. The judge, Mark Warby upheld a permanent exclusion to the groups and stated they had deliberately “grossly misinterpreted” the programme by suggesting it promoted paedophilia which was not true." Moffat also runs an after-school club called Parkfield Ambassadors. Here children learn more about the programme and visit other local schools to tell pupils about it. One aim of the club is to make connections between school children and reduce the risk of radicalisation in vulnerable groups.

St Paul's Church, Charlestown

St Paul's Church is a Church of England church in Charlestown, Cornwall, England, UK. It was built in 1849-51 and has been Grade II listed since 1999. History Charlestown became its own parish separate from St Austell in 1846, at a time when the village was experiencing an increase in its population due to local industrial activity. With services initially held in a room licensed for public worship near the Pier House Hotel, funds for a permanent church were raised by public subscription. In 1848, a plot of land was donated by the proprietors of Charlestown, while grants were received; £300 from the Church Building Commissioners, £250 from the Incorporated Society and £150 from the Exeter Diocesan Society. The foundation stone of St Paul's was laid on 27 November 1849 by Charles Graves-Sawle of Penrice. It was built by Messrs William Kitt and William Drew of St Austell to the designs of Christopher Eales of London. The church was consecrated by the Bishop of Exeter, the Right Rev. Henry Phillpotts, on 30 May 1851. Owing to a lack of funds, the intended spire was not built as part of the original construction work. An appeal was launched in 1970, with A. L. Rowse as patron, to have the small and temporary wooden belfry and spire replaced with a permanent structure. The new work was carried out in 1971-72 and consecrated by the Bishop of Truro, the Right Rev. Maurice Key, on 28 July 1972. Four of the six bells were gifted to the church, including one by Sir Noël Coward, who visited Charlestown in 1972 for the first time since he stayed there during the summer of 1914. In 1951, part of the nave was reordered to the plans of Stephen Dykes Bower and a new granite altar added. A choir vestry and sacristy was added in 1964, built by W. J. Higman to the designs of D. H. Brand. A lady chapel was created within the north transept in 2001 and the church pews replaced with new chairs in 2007. The church maintains an Anglo-Catholic tradition and the Oxford Movement style of worship is observed. Architecture St Paul's is built of granite stone, sourced from a quarry near Stenalees, with slate roofs, in the Early English style. Designed to accommodate 570 persons, it was built with a cruciform plan, made up of nave, north and south aisles, transepts, chancel, vestry and porch. The original pulpit and reading desk of carved oak was gifted by local residents, and the granite font gifted by T. G. Vawdrey. The pulpit was replaced with one donated by the Mothers' Union in 1933. The church organ is built by Messrs Hele & Co of Plymouth. The belfry of 1971-72 is made of reconstituted stone and contains six bells by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough. The spire is of glass reinforced plastic. References External links Media related to St Paul's Church, Charlestown at Wikimedia Commons St Paul's Church website
All Saints Church, Dorchester

All Saints Church is a former Church of England church in Dorchester, Dorset, England. Designed by Benjamin Ferrey and built in 1843–45, the church is a Grade II* listed building. History The site of All Saints is considered to have been occupied by a church since the Norman period, although the earliest records date to the 12th century. The original church is believed to have been destroyed by fire in 1613 and subsequently rebuilt. A decision was made to rebuild the church in the mid-19th century, to the designs of Benjamin Ferrey. Demolition of the previous church began in August 1843 and the foundation stone of the new one laid by the Bishop of Salisbury, the Right Rev. Edward Denison, on 4 October 1843. The church's construction was carried out by local labour and assisted by the churchwarden Arthur Henry Dyke Acland, who also acted as "honorary architect". The new church was consecrated by the Bishop of Salisbury on 7 May 1845. As further funds were required, the church's tower was unfinished and in need of a spire. Work later commenced on heightening the tower in 1851 and the spire was added in 1852. All Saints was made redundant on 13 November 1970 and subsequently sold on 8 November 1972 to Dorchester Borough Council for use as an archaeological store for the Dorset County Museum. Architecture All Saints is built of local limestone with Ham stone ashlar dressings and slate roofs, in the Early English style. It is made up of a four-bay nave, north and south aisles, chancel, vestry and north-west tower. Much of the church's 1843-45 furnishings were created and gifted by local tradesmen and other benefactors. The octagonal font was carved from a block of Portland stone by Mr. Gregory of Salisbury. The church contains an arcade of seven arches of Caen stone, which depict the commandments and texts of Holy Scripture by Mr. William Osmond of Salisbury. From the earlier church there are preserved the elaborate tomb, with effigy, of Matthew Chubb (d. 1617) and the achievement of arms of Charles II.
