Shardlow Hall, Derbyshire

Shardlow Hall is a 17th-century former country house at Shardlow, Derbyshire now in use as commercial offices. It is a Grade II* listed building which is officially listed on the Buildings at Risk Register. The house was built in 1684 for Leonard Fosbrooke, originally to an H-plan design with two storeys with parapets and a six-bay entrance front. A series of six Leonard Fosbrookes succeeded to the estate, two of whom served as High Sheriff of Derbyshire. A new seven-bayed west garden front was constructed in 1726, and in the late 18th century the entrance front was extended by the creation of single-storey wings, each terminating in a pedimented two-storey pavilion. The Fosbrookes moved to Ravenstone Hall and in 1826 sold the house to James Sutton of Shardlow, High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1842. The house ceased use as a residence and was occupied by Shardlow Hall School from 1911 to 1933. More recently it has been used as commercial offices.

Sharnbrook Summit

Sharnbrook Summit is a nature reserve between the villages of Sharnbrook and Wymington in Bedfordshire. It has an area of approximately nine hectares, and it is managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. The site is a mile long narrow strip above a rail tunnel, next to the Midland Main Line between Bedford and Wellingborough. The reserve is grassland, grazed by rabbits, on limestone deposited during the construction of the railway. The dominant plant is tor-grass, and flowers include dyer's greenweed and wild liquorice. Scattered scrub provides food and shelter from kestrels and buzzards for small mammals and nesting birds. There is access from Forty Foot Lane, which bisects the site. It is close to Wymington Meadow, which is also managed by the Wildlife Trust, but there is no direct access between the sites, which are separated by the railway lines. References

Shaw's Corner

Shaw's Corner was the primary residence of the renowned Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw; it is now a National Trust property open to the public as a writer's house museum. Inside the house, the rooms remain much as Shaw left them, and the garden and Shaw's writing hut can also be visited. The house is an Edwardian Arts and Crafts-influenced structure situated in the small village of Ayot St Lawrence, in Hertfordshire, England. It is 6 miles from Welwyn Garden City and 5 miles from Harpenden. Built as the new rectory for the village during 1902, the house was the home of playwright George Bernard Shaw from 1906 until his death in 1950. It was designed by a local firm of architects, Smee, Mence & Houchin, and local materials were used in its construction. The Church of England decided that the house was too large for the size of the parish, and let it instead. Shaw and his wife Charlotte Payne-Townshend relocated in 1906, and eventually bought the house and its land in 1920, paying £6,220. At the same time the garden was extended and Shaw bought land from his friend Apsley Cherry-Garrard, bringing the total to 1.4 hectares (3.5 acres). Shaw is known to have written many of his major works in a secluded, home-built revolving hut located at the bottom of his garden. The tiny structure of only 64 square feet (5.9 m2), was built on a central steel-pole frame with a circular track so that it could be rotated on its axis to follow the arc of the Sun's light during the day. Shaw dubbed the hut "London", so that unwanted visitors could be told he was away "visiting the capital". After Shaw's and his wife's deaths, their ashes were taken to Shaw's Corner, mixed and then scattered along footpaths and around the statue of Saint Joan in their garden. In 1967 the house was designated a Grade II* listed building.

Shaw's Corner

Shaw's Corner fue la principal residencia del célebre escritor irlandés George Bernard Shaw; ahora un edificio histórico propiedad de National Trust abierto al público. Dentro de la casa, los cuartos siguen conservando su aspecto original, y tanto el jardín como el escritorio de Shaw pueden ser visitados. La casa, del periodo eduardiano, posee una clara influencia del estilo propio del movimiento Arts and Crafts. Se encuentra emplazada en la pequeña villa de Ayot St. Lawrence, Hertfordshire, Inglaterra. Construida como una nueva rectoría para el pueblo en 1902, la casa fue el hogar de George Bernard Shaw desde 1906 hasta su muerte en 1950, dado que la iglesia de Inglaterra decidió que la casa era demásiado grande para el tamaño de la parroquia. Shaw y su esposa Charlotte se mudaron durante 1906 y compraron la casa en 1920 por el valor de 6220 libras al tiempo que extendieron el jardín cuando Shaw compró la tierra de su amigo Apsley Cherry-Garrard, una parcela de 1.4 hectáreas. Shaw es conocido por haber escrito muchos de sus trabajos importantes en una pequeña habitación anexa a su vivienda, situada en el fondo de su jardín.​​ la estructura minúscula, cerca de 20 metros cuadrados, fue construida en un marco central con columnas de acero y con una pista circular de modo que pudiera ser rotado en su eje para seguir el arco cambiante de la luz del solar a través del día.​ Shaw ubicó el cuarto de modo que quedara de espaldas a Londres, con el propósito de que los visitantes indeseados desistan de su visita al ser informados de que él estaba ausente "visitando la capital".​ Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Shaw's Corner.
Shaw House, Berkshire

Shaw House is an Elizabethan mansion in Shaw near Newbury, Berkshire, UK. The house is Grade I listed and its park and gardens are Grade II. The house is and early example of symmetrical H-plan architecture. History The manor house of Shaw, Shaw House was built by the wealthy cloth merchant, Thomas Dolman, and completed in 1581. It is famous for its reputation as King Charles I's headquarters during the Second Battle of Newbury. However recent research has proved that, despite the house being at the centre of the fighting, the King never went to it. Other royals have visited, most notably Elizabeth I. In the 1720s, it was acquired by the flamboyant James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos. Although it was not the principal residence of the Duke, the family evidently spent some time in the area and the second Duke bought a wife at a sale in Newbury. After the first Duke's death in 1744 the dowager duchess lived at Shaw House till her death in 1750. Her step-son sold the property soon afterwards to the Andrews family. It was the childhood home of the historian James Pettit Andrews. For many years it was also a school. The house is currently owned and managed by West Berkshire Council as a conference venue and public attraction. Restoration Following a major restoration Shaw House opened to the public in 2008. It is also a conference venue and home to West Berkshire's register office. Work began in 2005 after the mansion was awarded more than £4 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund. English Heritage and Vodafone also contributed to the project. References External links Shaw House - official site West Berkshire Council: Shaw House West Berkshire Council

Shawdon Hall

Shawdon Hall is a privately owned 18th-century country house located between Bolton and Hedgeley, near Alnwick, Northumberland, in North East England. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The manor of Shawdon was owned by Thomas Lilburn, a member of the House of Lilburn, in the 15th century. A survey of 1541 disclosed a 'tower in measurable good reparation' in the ownership of Cuthbert Proctor. John Proctor sold the estate in 1705. The new owner William Hargrave (who was High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1783) demolished the old house and replaced it in 1779 with a new mansion, probably designed by architect William Newton. The house is of two stories with a seven-bay entrance front, the central three bays being pilastered and with a pediment bearing the 1817 arms of Pawson. Following the death of Hargrave in 1817 the 1,050-acre (4.2 km2) estate passed by the marriage of the Hargrave heiress to John Pawson. Later Pawsons to serve as High Sheriff were William in 1826 and William John in 1861. The hall and estate were most recently sold in September 2018 for £2,684,868 to Dulce Maria De Barros Marchi Packard. Important historical artifacts have been found on the Shawdon Hall estate. In 1761 two Roman urns containing human remains were unearthed and in 1828 gold coins including a rare rose noble from the time of Edward I were found. References

Sheffield Assay Office

The Sheffield Assay Office is one of the four remaining assay offices in the United Kingdom, the other three being in London, Birmingham, and Edinburgh. History In 1773, Sheffield's silversmiths joined with those of Birmingham to petition Parliament for the establishment of assay offices in their respective cities. An act of Parliament, the Plate Assay (Sheffield and Birmingham) Act 1772 (13 Geo. 3. c. 52), was passed in March, just one month after the original petition was presented to Parliament, to allow Birmingham and Sheffield the right to assay silver. The Assay Office was then founded and hallmarked its first piece on 20 September 1773. Lots were drawn to determine which marks the offices would use. Sheffield won and chose the crown, while Birmingham took the anchor. Originally, only silver produced within twenty miles of Sheffield could be marked at the office. From 1784, Sheffield was empowered to keep a register of all maker's marks within one hundred miles, including those of Birmingham. In 1795, after several moves, an office was established on Fargate. In 1880 it moved to Leopold Street, and in 1958 to Portobello Street. In May 2007 it was announced that the office would move to a new purpose-built site on Beulah Road in Owlerton, where is it now based. In 1977, Sheffield's mark was changed to the White Rose of York, and it became the last office to standardise its date letters.

Sheffield Botanical Gardens

The Sheffield Botanical Gardens are Grade II listed botanical gardens situated off Ecclesall Road in Sheffield, England, with 5,000 species of plants in 19 acres (77,000 m2) of land. History The Sheffield Botanical and Horticultural Society was formed in 1833 and by 1834 had obtained £7,500 (equivalent to £840,000 in 2025) in funding. The money was raised selling shares, permitting the purchase of 18 acres (73,000 m2) of south-facing farmland from the estate of local snuff manufacturer Joseph Wilson. The gardens were designed by Robert Marnock and first opened on 29 June 1836. The Sheffield Iris of 5 July 1836 describes the gardens thus:The walks assume all the intricacy and mystery of a labyrinthine maze, while the monkey cages, the bear’s den, the eagles’ habitation, water-works &c. give a variety and effect to the whole, calculated to interest the visitor for hours together. 12,000 people visited the Gardens on their opening in the summer of 1836. To attract people to continue to visit the gardens, the committee organised balloon launches. The first of these took place in 1837. On Tuesday 3 October, Margaret Graham made a second ascent from the gardens. Initially it was hoped that the gas filled balloon would carry her and Mr Charles Brown, but it would not lift until Mr Brown left the basket. Mrs Graham flew alone. Once aloft she ejected a monkey with a parachute which descended successfully to the ground. Mrs Graham landed near Conisbrough with some difficulty. Sheffield's Town Trust assumed the management of the gardens in the closing years of the 19th. century, when they repaid the shareholders the nominal value of their £5 shares. The Trust abolished the existing entry charge and since that time entry to the Botanical Gardens has remained free. Though the Town Trust are still the owners, Sheffield Corporation signed a 99-year lease on 18 December 1951, thereby taking over management. The most notable feature of the gardens are the Grade II* listed glass pavilions by Benjamin Broomhead Taylor, restored and reopened in 2003. Other notable structures are the main gateway, the south entrance lodge and a bear pit containing an 8' tall steel statue of an American Black Bear called Robert the Bear. In the rose garden is a bronze sculpture "Pan: Spirit of the Wood", a gift in 1934 from Sir Charles Clifford, owner of the Sheffield Telegraph and Star, to the city. The sculptor is not known. The gardens hold the national collection of the genus Sarcococca, Weigela and the closely related Diervilla. In popular culture Parts of the HBO miniseries The Regime were filmed at the Botanical Gardens. References Sources Hunter, R. A. (2007). Sheffield Botanical Gardens: People, Plants & Pavilions.

Sheffield Botanical Gardens

Os Sheffield Botanical Gardens em Sheffield, Inglaterra, foram jardins fundados no início do século XIX. Thomas Dunn, o então "Master Cutler" (Líder do Grêmio dos Fabricantes de Talheres) em Sheffield, convocou uma reunião pública em junho de 1833 em resposta a uma solicitação de 80 residentes locais preocupados com a falta de espaços públicos na cidade naquela época. Isto resultou no estabelecimento da Sociedade "Sheffield Botanical and Horticultural Society" com o objetivo de promover atividades saudáveis de lazer e auto-educação através do desenvolvimento de um jardim botânico. No ano seguinte a sociedade conseguiu arrecadar recursos somando £7,500 pela venda de ações na empreitada e comprou-se um terreno de 18 alqueres pertencente a Joseph Wilson, dono de uma fábrica de rapé. Naquela época o acesso ao jardim ficou limitado a membros da classe média/alta e não ao grande público. Em 1844 um fundo civil, o chamado "Sheffield Town Trust" (o qual ainda existe, com uma história de 703 anos, o "trust" mais antigo da Inglaterra) comprou o jardim botânico. O fundo pagou £5.0000 pelas ações, se tornando assim dono e administrador do jardim, posição esta que manteve até os meados do século XX. Em 18 de dezembro de 1951 a administração do jardim passou para a "Sheffield Corporation" (prefeitura) em troca de um aluguel simbólico de um shilling por ano (um vigêsimo de uma libra esterlina), valor este que aumentou para uma libra esterlina em 1971. O "Sheffield Town Trust" continua , de fato, o dono do jardim. Mais recentemente, o jardim botânico foi recuperado graças a uma obra muito extensa, envolvendo um investimento de £6.69 milhões que foi custeada pelo fundo "British Heritage Lottery Fund". A obra terminou em setembro de 2004. Ligações externas Sheffield Botanical Gardens Fotografias de satelite desse local
Шеффилдский ботанический сад

Шеффилдский ботанический сад (англ. Sheffield Botanical Gardens) — ботанический сад, расположенный у Экклсолл-роуд в Шеффилде, Англия, с 5000 видами растений на пощади в 77000 м² (19 акров). Сады спроектированы Робертом Марноком и впервые открыты в 1836 году. Самой примечательной особенностью садов являются стеклянные павильоны (оранжереи), признанные английским архитектурным наследием (класс II*), отреставрированные и вновь открытые в 2003 году. Другими примечательными сооружениями являются главные ворота, домик у южного входа и медвежья яма, содержащая 8-футовую стальную статую медведя-барибала по кличке Медведь Роберт. В розарии находится бронзовая скульптура «Пан: Дух дерева», подаренная городу в 1934 году Чарльзом Клиффордом, владельцем газеты Sheffield Telegraph and Star. Скульптор неизвестен. Общество ботаников и садоводов Шеффилда сформировано в 1833 году и к 1834 году получило финансирование в размере 7 500 фунтов стерлингов. Деньги были получены продажей акций, что позволило купить 73000 м² (18 акров) обращённых на юг сельскохозяйственных угодий из поместья местного производителя табачных изделий Джозефа Уилсона (англ.). На этой земле и был организован ботанический сад. Летом 1836 года сад посетили 12000 человек. Шеффилдский городской фонд взял на себя управление садами в последние годы XIX века, когда организаторы сада выплатили акционерам номинальную стоимость акций в 5 фунтов стерлингов. Фонд отменил существовавшую плату за вход и с тех пор вход в Ботанический сад остаётся бесплатным. Хотя Шеффилдский городской фонд по-прежнему остаётся собственником сада, 18 декабря 1951 года Городской совет Шеффилда заключил договор аренды сроком на 99 лет, тем самым взяв управление на себя. В садах хранится национальная коллекция видов саркококка, вейгела и диервилла. Фотографии Примечания Литература Sheffield Botanical Gardens: People, Plants & Pavilions. R.A.
