City of London School

La City of London School (CLS) è una scuola maschile indipendente che sorge sulle rive del fiume Tamigi nella Città di Londra (Inghilterra). L'istituto è membro della Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC). La scuola venne fondata con un privato atto parlamentare nel 1834, seguendo le direttive dell'architetto James Bunstone Bunning, oltre che gli eventi iniziati nel 1442 da un lascito di terra di John Carpenter, segretario comunale di Londra. L'edificio originale venne situato in Milk Street, con uno spostamento in Victoria Embankment nel 1879, e quindi alla sua sede attuale in Queen Victoria Street nel 1986. Oggi la scuola fornisce un'educazione a circa 900 ragazzi fra i 10 e i 18 anni, guidati da circa 100 insegnanti. Le ammissioni sono organizzate con test di entrata e un colloquio orale. I vecchi alunni della scuola sono chiamati Old Citizens e fra loro sono annoverati numerosi personaggi importanti per la storia del Regno; fra questi: il premier Herbert Asquith, l'eroe della Prima Guerra Mondiale Theodore Bayley Hardy, gli scienziati Premi Nobel Frederick Gowland Hopkins e Peter Higgs, il giudice della Corte Suprema Lawrence Collins, il capitano della nazionale di cricket Mike Brearley e gli scrittori premiati con il Booker Prize Kingsley Amis e Julian Barnes.

St Stephen's Church, Acomb

St Stephen's Church is the parish church of Acomb, a suburb of York in England. A church has lain on the site since the Saxon period, and some remains of the Saxon church were uncovered in 1830. By the time of the Norman Conquest, it was a possession of York Minster. In 1228, it was transferred to the Treasurer of the Minster, and a vicarage was built in 1313. It was transferred to the Crown in 1547. By 1830, the church was ruinous, so from 1831 to 1832 it was rebuilt, to a design by George Townsend Andrews. It seated 338 worshippers, partly in two galleries. Cruciform in plan, it was constructed in Tadcaster limestone with a slate roof. The original chancel was retained, but it was rebuilt in 1851. A vestry was added in 1889, and the following year, an east window was added. In the 20th-century, a porch was added, as was a lean-to on the north wall. In 1848, it was described as "an elegant structure with a graceful spire, and, standing on the highest ground in the vicinity of York, [it] has a very picturesque appearance". The Royal Commission on Historic Monuments was more critical, describing it as "ostensibly in the Early English style, [but it] shows no real appreciation of mediaeval architecture". The roof was rebuilt in 1952, and in 1954, a peal of bells was installed, cast in 1770 for St Mary Bishophill Senior. In 1983, the building was Grade II listed. The church suffered a fire in 1992 but was restored soon afterwards, and many of its fixtures and fittings survived. These include stained glass, the oldest of which was made by Edmund Gyles in 1662, depicted the arms of Charles II of England. The arms of William IV are displayed on a panel in the porch.

Gotts Park Mansion

Gotts Park Mansion, formerly known as Armley House, is a Grade II listed country house in Armley Park, 3 miles from Leeds city centre. Formerly the home of industrialist Benjamin Gott, it is now the home of Gotts Park Golf Club. The mansion was built in 1781 for Leeds merchant, Thomas Woolrick. Gott, a wealthy mill-owner, first leased the mansion then bought it in 1812. Gott commissioned Humphry Repton to improve the house and landscape. The mansion was then remodelled, partly to Repton's plan, by Robert Smirke, architect of the British Museum. Thus it became the first Greek Revival house built in West Yorkshire. Gott's descendants lived in the mansion until the 1900s when, in 1903 it was rented by the Leeds Association for the Prevention and Cure of Tuberculosis and in 1904 opened and named The Leeds Hospital for Consumptives. It was used as a TB hospital during the First World War. In 1928, the building and grounds were taken over by Leeds City Council on a 999-year lease, on the condition that they be used as a leisure space for the people of Leeds. Gotts Park Golf Club opened to the public on 8 April 1933. References External links Media related to Armley House at Wikimedia Commons
St Edward the Confessor's Church, Dringhouses

St Edward the Confessor's Church is an Anglican church in Dringhouses, a suburb of York in England. During the Mediaeval period, Dringhouses fell within the parish of Holy Trinity Church, Micklegate, but the local parishioners preferred to worship at St Stephen's Church, Acomb, which was closer. In about 1472, a chapel was constructed in the village, dedicated to Saint Helen, on the site later occupied by the library. It was demolished in 1725, and a new chapel was built on the opposite side of the main road, of which only the foundations survive. Between 1847 and 1849, the current church was built, immediately south-west of its predecessor. It was designed by Vickers and Hugall, and was intended to resemble the Church of St Mary and St Nicholas, Littlemore, as it was funded by Mrs Trafford Leigh, who supported the Oxford Movement. An organ was installed in 1868, and a chancel screen designed by C. Hodgson Fowler in 1892. The vestry was enlarged in 1902, and the spire was taken down and replaced by a fibreglass replica in 1970. The building was grade II listed in 1983. The church is built of limestone, with green slate roofs. It consists of a four-bay nave, a lower chancel, and a north porch. The west wall has diagonal buttresses, and a further central buttress, flanked by two-light Geometrical windows. Atop the gable is a four-sided bell turret, set diagonally, with a clock facing north-west, and pointed bell openings above. The porch has a statue of Edward the Confessor. The interior is painted and gilded, with a floor of Minton tiles. Inside, the octagonal stone pulpit and font survive, along with wooden pews and choir stalls. The stained glass is by William Wailes. In the vestry there is a white and grey marble monument to Samuel Francis Barlow, dating from 1800, which was moved from the previous chapel. References External links Official website
Alexandra Theatre, Newton Abbot

The Alexandra Theatre is an entertainment complex in Market Street, Newton Abbot, Devon, England. The structure, which was commissioned as a corn exchange and is currently used as a cinema, is a Grade II listed building. History The building was commissioned as a corn exchange by the Newton Abbot local board. It formed part of a broader programme of improvements, which also included a new market hall, and, after being authorised by act of parliament in 1868, was facilitated by diverting the River Lemon into a culvert. The building was designed by a local architect, John Chudleigh, in the Italianate style, built in limestone and was completed in 1871. The design involved a three-stage tower facing west down Market Street. The first stage involved a round headed opening with voussoirs and a keystone surmounted by a date stone. The second stage involved a round headed recess containing an oculus, while the third stage involved a pair of round headed windows. The tower was surmounted by a modillioned cornice and a shallow pyramid-shaped roof. The side elevations, of five bays on either side, featured tall round headed windows with voussoirs and keystones. The volume of corn changing hands in the town declined significantly in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century, and, even before it opened, the local board decided to convert the building for public use as the "Alexandra Hall". It was named after Princess Alexandra of Denmark who had requested large amounts of Devon lace for the dress she wore at her wedding to the Prince of Wales in March 1863. The building was converted into a theatre with a stage and a proscenium arch to a design by local architect, Frank Matcham, in 1883. The building was further enhanced by the addition of curved sections with a stucco finish, on either side of the tower, in the early 20th century, and the windows were filled to allow silent films to be shown in 1920. Further improvements include the installation of a balcony and raked seating in 1926. The interior was remodelled to create a new foyer in 1978 and the balcony area was altered to create a second auditorium in 1996. Since then, the building has operated as a theatre supported by the Newton Abbot and District Musical Comedy Society, for three weeks a year, and as a cinema under the management of local operators, Scott Cinemas, for the rest of year. In January 2022, Teignbridge District Council announced proposals to redevelop Newton Abbot town centre: the plans, which would have involved the demolition of the interior of the Alexandra Theatre to create an enlarged market hall, met with strong opposition from local people. The council eventually agreed to modify the proposals to avoid damaging the interior of the theatre. See also Corn exchanges in England References
1 Museum Street

1 Museum Street is a historic building in the city centre of York, in England. The building was constructed in 1860, to a design by Rawlins Gould. It initially served as the city's register office. Later, it served as a Conservative Club, with committee rooms, a bar and a snooker room; it then became council offices. The building has two storeys and is built of orange brick, with stone dressings. It is of 11 bays, one of which curves around the corner from Museum Street into Blake Street. The main entrance is on Museum Street, and has double doors with a fanlight above. Most of the sash windows have four panes, although a few retain the original eight panes. The window pediments are alternately triangular and segmented. The upper floor has Doric order pilasters. In 1909, a brick balustrade was added to the roof. Inside, a grand staircase leads up to the first floor room, which contains a wooden tablet to the memory of John Hodgson, from Strensall. The room has housed meetings of the Board of Guardians of the York Poor Law Union. In 1986, the building was Grade II listed. In 2010, it was purchased by the York Conservation Trust, which renovated it to become the city's tourist information centre. The office remained there until 2022. References
Museum Street Tavern

The Museum Street Tavern, formerly Thomas's of York, is a historic pub in the city centre of York, in England. The building which houses the pub was first constructed in about 1700. In about 1800, it became part of Ettridge's Royal Hotel, and at some point in the 1820s, it was heightened from two to three storeys. In 1858, it was bought by William Thomas, an experienced hotelier, who renamed the hotel after himself. The remainder of the old hotel was demolished, and the Museum Street facade of the remaining building was altered, with work completed in 1863. Thomas sold the pub in 1876, to Thomas Lightfoot, a brewer from Bedale, but its name was retained. In 1900, it was purchased by John Smith's Brewery. At the time, it had eight bedrooms, a bar, two drawing rooms, a coffee room and a billiard room. The building is constructed of dark brown brick. The staircase and some first-floor doors are original, while the fireplaces and some plaster work date from the 1863 alterations. There is late-19th-century stained glass around the wide door, with a colourful design in the tympanum above, incorporating the name "Thomas's Hotel". The pub was Grade II listed in 1978. By 2022, it was owned by the Stonegate Pub Company, which closed it for conversion into a Be At One cocktail bar. In 2023 it reopened as the Museum Street Tavern.

Roots (restaurant)

Roots is a restaurant on Marygate, just north of the city centre of York in England. The building was constructed as the Bay Horse public house between 1893 and 1894. It replaced an earlier pub of the same name, which was on the opposite side of the road. It was designed by Walter and Arthur Penty. From 1951 until 1986, it was run by Eve and Arthur Briggs. It closed in 2004, at which time it was owned by Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries. In 2007, the brewery proposed converted the building into an office with flats above; however, it instead reopened as a pub in 2008. In 2018, chef Tommy Banks and restaurateur Matthew Lockwood converted the building into a restaurant, named "Roots", which focuses on local produce and self-sufficiency. This became the first restaurant in the city to win a Michelin star, in 2021. The two-storey building is Grade II listed. It is built of brick, with the first floor partly tile-hung, and partly covered with timber-framing. The ground floor windows and doors are surrounded by stone, and the roof is tiled. All three bays of the Marygate front are gabled; there is a half-octagonal tower at the right-hand side, and a central porch with a round arch. Above the door is a panel which reads "BUILT 1894". Most windows are mullioned and transomed, with some on the first floor diamond-paned. Inside, the basic room arrangement survives, although some walls were removed in the 20th century. Original features include the bar and two timber fireplaces, one of which has a carved panel above depicted a bay horse and dated 1894. References
St Thomas' Church, York

St Thomas' Church is a parish church in the Groves area of York, a city in England. It is sometimes known as St Thomas' in the Groves. The Groves area, in the parish of St Olave's Church, York, was built up in the mid 19th century. It was decided to construct a new church in the area. A building was designed by George Fowler Jones, and constructed between 1853 and 1854. The work cost £2,500, and the completed church, in the Gothic revival style, could seat 500 worshippers. The church was given its own parish in 1855, and was enlarged in 1899. The church was grade II listed in 1997. In 2014, it was added to the Heritage at Risk Register due to severe erosion to some of its stonework. The church is built of sandstone with slate roofs. It consists of a three-bay nave, two-bay north and south transepts, and a two-bay chancel. The west end has a gable and its central bay projects slightly, supporting a bellcote and cross. There is an arched doorway, with windows either side, and a two-light window above. The nave has buttresses with windows in each bay, while the transepts have two-light windows and a circular window in the gable end. The east window has three lights. References
The Fox, York

The Fox is a pub in Holgate, York, England. The pub was purpose-built in 1878, replacing an earlier pub on the site. The York Carriage Works were built nearby a few years later, and it long provided the main source of patrons for the business. It was long owned by Tetley's Brewery. In 1985, it was restored under the architect George Williamson, and was then branded as a Tetley's Heritage Pub. It was Grade II listed in 1994, following a study by the Campaign for Real Ale. The pub was later sold to Punch Taverns, but closed in 2013 after the rent was increased. A proposal to bring the pub into community ownership suggested opening a post office in the building and selling bacon sandwiches during the day, but this was not taken forward. Instead, it was leased to the Ossett Brewery, which removed the kitchen and children's play area, and redecorated throughout. Each of the four rooms has a different theme: foxes, Holgate, travel, and railways. One room aims to replicate the feel of a railway carriage. On opening, the pub offered nine cask ales, including several from Ossett. By 2022, the pub was listed in the Good Beer Guide. The two-storey building is built of brick, and is three bays wide. A panel in the centre reads "THE FOX INN REBUILT 1878". The main entrance is through a brick porch, while a secondary entrance, formerly for off-sales, is now blocked. Inside, many original fittings survive, including the bar, benches, fireplaces, corridor hatch, and staircase. It is listed on CAMRA's Yorkshire Regional Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.

St Paul's Church, Holgate

St Paul's Church is the parish church of Holgate, a suburb of York in England. The area fell within the parish of St Mary Bishophill Junior. Much housing was constructed in the district in the 1840s, and it was decided to build a new church. A site was found on the north side of Holgate Road. A building was designed by J. B. and W. Atkinson, in the Gothic Revival style. It was constructed from 1850 to 1851, designed to seat 700 worshippers. It was consecrated on 3 January 1856, and was given its own parish later in the month. Part of the nave was given to extend the chancel in 1890, and a new east window was added in 1906, to a design by George Fowler Jones. The church was Grade II listed in 1997. The church is built of brick faced with sandstone, and it has a slate roof. The piers are made of cast iron. It consists of a continuous nave and chancel, with north and south aisles, the nave extending one bay further west than the aisles.

There is a central doorway, flanked by narrow pointed arches, with a large rose window above. The east end has a three-light Geometrical window, while the other windows are lancets. On the north side is a vestry, and there is a basement under the north aisle. Inside the church is a king post roof, which also has collar trusses and arched braces. There is a gallery at the west end, which has been converted into an office and meeting room. References External links Official website
Londesborough Lodge

Londesborough Lodge is a historic building in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The building was constructed in 1839, as one of four villas - the others being Crescent House, the White House, and Woodend House. It was originally named Warwick House, but in 1853 it was purchased by William Denison, 1st Earl of Londesborough and became popularly known by his name. He extended the house and altered the interior. Londesborough hosted the future King Edward VII in the house on several occasions. In 1925, the house was purchased by the Scarborough Corporation, and variously served as a tourist office, a museum and, between 1929 and 1974, Victorian-style Turkish baths. In 1983, it became a district office of BBC Radio York, which remained there until 2009. It has since served as the Kagyu Samye Dzong Scarborough Tibetan Buddhist Centre. The building has been grade II listed since 1973. The house is built of stone and has bracketed moulded overhanging eaves and a shallow hipped slate roof. It has two storeys and an irregular plan, consisting of a projecting main block with three bays, and splayed wings with one bay each. The doorway has panelled pilaster strips and a cornice on console brackets, and the windows are sashes. The garden front has a canted projection with a balcony.
