Chatham House

A Chatham House, anteriormente conhecida como Royal Institute of International Affairs, é uma organização sem fins lucrativos, não governamental, sediada em Londres, cuja missão é analisar o conhecimento e promover uma melhor compreensão dos principais temas políticos internacionais. É considerada uma das mais importantes instituições nessa área. Seu nome é inspirado no nome da sua sede, uma casa do século XVIII situada na St. James's Square, projetada em parte por Henry Flitcroft e ocupada por três primeiros-ministros britânicos, inclusive William Pitt, 1° Conde de Chatham. O atual presidente do Conselho da Chatham House (2013) é Stuart Popham. A atividade de pesquisa da instituição se estrutura em quatro departamentos: energia, ambiente e recursos naturais, economia internacional e direito internacional, que compreende, juntamente com o programa de direito internacional propriamente dito, programas regionais na África, Américas, Ásia, Europa, Oriente Médio e Norte da África, Rússia e Eurásia. A organização foi considerada pela revista Foreign Policy como o think-tank mais importante do mundo - fora dos Estados Unidos - incluindo-a no seleto grupo de think-tanks que são regularmente consultados para criar novas agendas e empreender novas iniciativas. Chatham House Rule A Chatham House é a origem da regra de anonimato conhecida como Chatham House Rule ("Regra de Chatham House"), que prevê que os participantes de um seminário possam discutir externamente o que foi dito durante o encontro, sem no entanto mencionar quem participou da reunião ou o que um determinado participante disse. A regra foi criada para facilitar a discussão aberta sobre questões controversas ou impopulares, por pessoas que, de outra forma, talvez não pudessem falar livremente. Entretanto, na maioria dos seminários da Chatham House a regra de anonimato não tem sido aplicada. Chatham House Prize O Chatham House Prize é um prêmio anual concedido ao estadista eleito pelos membros da Chatham House como sendo aquele que deu a mais significativa contribuição para a melhoria das relações internacionais naquele ano. A seleção é feita pela equipe de pesquisa da Chatham House e pelos três presidentes: Lord Ashdown, Sir John Major e a Baronesa Patricia Scotland. A escolha se dá por votação secreta, da qual participam todos os membros da Chatham House. No ano de 2009 o estadista premiado com o Chatham House Prize foi o presidente do Brasil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva Referências Ligações externas Chatham House. Sítio oficial.

Electricity House, Bristol

Electricity House, formerly known as West Gate, is a Grade II-listed Art Deco building at the former junction of Rupert Street and Quay Street and facing The Centre in central Bristol, England. Designed by Giles Gilbert Scott, it was constructed between 1935 and 1937 for the Bristol Corporation Electricity Department, but was not fully completed or occupied until 1948 due to wartime requisitioning. Electricity House has since been converted into a residential building following redevelopment in 2016. History Commissioned to accommodate the expanding Bristol Corporation Electricity Department, Electricity House was built on a site cleared in the 1930s near the former Demerara House. The building was requisitioned during the Second World War for aircraft component production, delaying its completion until 1948, when it became the headquarters of the newly formed South Western Electricity Board. In the early 2000s, the building, by then known as West Gate, was owned by Aviva Investors’ APIA Regional Office Fund. In 2013, it was purchased by developer Crest Nicholson, who proposed a residential-led, mixed-use redevelopment as part of the Nelson Street Regeneration Area. The refurbishment, which started in 2014, won the Housebuilder magazine 'Best Refurbishment Project' award in 2016 for Crest Nicholson. Design Electricity House is a prominent example of 1930s Art Deco in Bristol, where the style is relatively uncommon. Constructed of Portland stone ashlar, the building features a symmetrical curved façade, deep-plan interior, and a recessed upper storey forming a loggia. The entrance is framed by full-width plate-glass windows, an architrave with roundels, and a central cartouche. The interior includes a curved staircase and light-filled atrium, restored as part of the redevelopment completed in 2016. See also Grade II listed buildings in Bristol References
Denwick

Denwick is a small village and civil parish in Northumberland, located about 1.4 miles (2 km) north-east of Alnwick. History During a time of increased prosperity for Northumberland in the 19th century a whole village was planned and built in Denwick as part of the Duke of Northumberland's estate, although there is evidence of settlements in this area since the Bronze Age. Geography The civil parish is divided into two parts. Denwick village is located within the main part, north of the Aln, along with the majority of Hulne Park. The detached southern part of the parish extends as far south as Newton on the Moor. Denwick Burn, a tributary of the River Aln, flows past the village to the north. Demography Landmarks Several listed buildings are located within the civil parish including Denwick Bridge, Denwick House, Heiferlaw Tower, Brizlee Tower and Hulne Priory. A number of houses within the village are also grade II listed. Denwick is also home to Denwick Chapel. The small gothic styled chapel, was built as a gift on the expense of Algernon George Percy, 6th Duke of Northumberland at £537.4s.0d. (approximately £205,038.07), with the foundation stone laid on 10 February 1876 by Mrs Lisle, and was built by Robertson and Sons of Alnwick and designed by George Reavell, an architect at Alnwick Castle. The stone for the church is from Denwick Quarry. The church was built because villagers wanted a church in the village rather than travelling to Alnwick for services. The church has not been consecrated and is not dedicated to any saint yet does have a stained glass window of St. Anne, the mother of Mary and the maternal grandmother of Jesus. Services are still held there once a month at on the second Sunday at 11.15am with services alternating between Holy Communion (Common Worship) and Morning Prayer (Book of Common Prayer).

St Luke's Church, Simonsbath

St Luke's Church is a Church of England church in Simonsbath, Exmoor, Somerset, England. The church, which was designed by Henry Clutton and built in 1855–56, has been a Grade II listed building since 1959. In addition to being a place of worship, today the church is also used to hold concerts and other events. It is the venue of the annual Simonsbath Festival. History The small settlement of Simonsbath was established after Exmoor was purchased by John Knight from the Commissioners of Woods and Forests in 1818. As the population grew in relation to increased local agricultural work and mining operations, eighteen residents of the estate put forward a petition in 1845 calling for a church to be built. At the time, the nearest church was the parish church at Exford, approximately six miles from Simonsbath. St Luke's was built by the order of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, at a time when the estate was owned by Frederick Knight, who inherited it from his father in 1850. In 1818, as part of the Inclosure Act 1773, a 12-acre plot of land was reserved by the Crown for the construction of a church if future development of Exmoor required a place of worship for its inhabitants. An inspection of the proposed site was carried out by two Commissioners in May 1853 and plans for the church drawn up by Henry Clutton. The Commissioners of Woods and Forests also provided a grant of £1,815 towards the construction of the church and parsonage. Preliminary works began in May 1855 when the contractor, Mr. Amos Hole of Kingsbrompton, began preparing the site. However, owing to the low tender the builder had submitted to win the contract, Hole soon declared bankruptcy over its construction, with a debt of £587 owed to various local tradesmen. The contract then passed on to another local builder, John How, who also erected the parsonage. The completed church was consecrated by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, Rev. Robert Eden, 3rd Baron Auckland, on 18 October 1856, who attended with the Chancellor of the Diocese and other local members of the clergy, including those of surrounding parishes. A local Wesleyan choir performed at the ceremony. With the opening of the church, Exmoor became its own parish. Architecture St Luke's is built of local Blue Lias, with Bath stone dressings and a slate roof, in an Early English style. The bellcote at the western end of the church contains one bell. The interior is made up of a three-bay nave, chancel, south porch and vestry. The floor is laid with tessellated tiles, while the open roof, seats, pulpit and reading desk are all oak-stained. A stained glass window was later added to the church in remembrance of the local men killed in World War I. References
Kilver Court

Kilver Court is a historic house and gardens in Shepton Mallet in the English county of Somerset. The River Sheppey powered textile mills and it later became a factory, the headquarters of the Showerings brewing business (later part of Allied Domecq), and then the headquarters of a leather-goods manufacturer, Mulberry. It is now used as a shopping centre. History Numbers 26, 26B and 27 Kilver street was a country house built around 1650 and since converted into offices and shops. They form a Grade II listed building. It was originally owned by the Whiting family which included Richard Whiting, who used it as their country house close to the mills used in woollen manufacturing, later converting to silk throwers and then lace production The 19th century dovecote, known as the "Round House" and its adjacent gate piers and gates are also listed. Over the course of the 20th century the site has been a factory, the headquarters of the Showerings brewing business (later part of Allied Domecq), and then the headquarters of a leather-goods manufacturer, Mulberry. It has been used as a venue for the Shepton Mallet Digital Arts Festival. Gardens The gardens are overlooked by the disused Charlton Viaduct as it crosses the River Sheppey. They were laid out in the 1880s by Ernest Jardine, the Member of Parliament for East Somerset, 1910 to 1918, for his lace workers. He used the old mill ponds as boating lakes; and also built a pub and schoolhouse. They became known as Jardine’s Park and included fruit and vegetable plots which provided food for the workers. The current layout is a reproduction of a 1960s Chelsea Flower Show medal winning garden designed by George Whitelegg and includes a rockery and parterre. The area adjacent to the river includes hostas, day lilies and candelabra primulas. Shopping In 2010 the buildings were converted into a designer outlet by Roger Saul the founder of Mulberry. The stores include: Mulberry, L.K.Bennett and Whistles. Following the challenges of Covid-19, Saul decided in 2021 to sell the business, and Kilver Court was bought by the Showerings family which had originally owned the site.

Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, East Lydford

The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a former Church of England church in East Lydford, Somerset, England. Designed by Benjamin Ferrey, it was built in 1864–66 and made redundant in 1989. The church, now in private ownership, is a Grade II listed building. History The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built to replace an earlier medieval church serving East Lydford, which was dedicated to St Peter. By the middle of the 19th-century, it had become dilapidated and was considered inadequate and uncomfortable. Furthermore, the church's location by the river made it prone to flooding; in the winter of 1863, heavy rain fell during a service and the congregation had to be taken home by cart as the surrounding fields became too flooded to navigate on foot. The rector of the parish, Rev. John James Moss, offered to build a new church at his sole expense, as a memorial to his late wife, Louisa Mary Anne, who died in 1863. A meeting of 22 September 1864 saw the offer unanimously accepted, and the foundation stone was laid by Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Cust, the father of Mrs. Moss, on 5 October 1864. The chosen site for the new church was on a plot of land owned by Rev. Moss and more central to the village. The church was designed by Benjamin Ferrey of London and built by Mr. Davis of Langport for a cost of £2,000. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Right Rev. Robert Eden, on 11 April 1866. The church was later closed in 1987 and declared redundant on 1 January 1989. By 1987, the church was only used for a monthly service and on other special occasions. In addition to requiring repairs estimated to cost £35,000, much of the local congregation favoured the Church of St Peter at Lydford-on-Fosse. The church was at risk of demolition in 1989 and sold to a private owner in 1993. It was placed on Mendip District Council's Historic Buildings at Risk register that year. The 2011 register considered the building to have possible "structural problems", with an "immediate risk of further rapid deterioration". Architecture The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary is built of Keinton stone, with Doulting stone dressings and tile roofs, in the Early English style. It was designed to accommodate 100 persons and made up of a three-bay nave, chancel, south porch and north tower. The space under the tower served as a vestry and organ loft. The top of the tower is octagonal and has a spire standing at a height of 100 feet, topped with an ornamental cross and gilded weathercock. The nave was paved with encaustic tiles from Maw & Co and the open roof made from stained deal. Internal fittings included the church's seating of stained deal and an oak pulpit which was transferred from the old church. The chancel stalls and reading desk were made from oak, while the font of Caen stone was gifted by Captain and Mrs. Chas Egerton in memory of their two infant children. The stained glass window at the east end was supplied by Heydon of London. Most of the church's fittings were moved upon closure to St Peter's at Lydford-on-Fosse. References
Taunton Shire Hall

Taunton Shire Hall is a municipal building on Shuttern in Taunton, Somerset. The Shire Hall, which serves as a Crown Court, is a Grade II listed building. History Since the English Civil War, when the castle was repaired, the county assizes had been held in Taunton Castle. Indeed, it was at Taunton Castle that, in the aftermath of the Monmouth Rebellion, Judge Jeffreys held the Bloody Assizes from 17 September 1685 to 19 September 1685. After the justices decided, in the mid-19th century, that the facilities the castle were no longer adequate, they chose to procure a new purpose-built building on a site to the south-west of the castle. The foundation stone for the building was laid by the Lord Lieutenant of Somerset, Viscount Portman, on 14 August 1855. It was designed by William Bonython Moffatt in the Gothic style, built by a local contractor, George Pollard, and completed in 1858. The design, which was crenellated, involved an asymmetrical main frontage with eleven bays facing onto Shuttern; the central section, which slightly projected forward, featured a large porch on the ground floor with a balcony and an oriel window on the first floor and an oculus in the gable; there were turrets at roof level. Internally, the principal rooms were the courtrooms and the Grand Jury Room which was behind the oriel window. Shortly after the building opened, a bust of the locally-born naval commander, Admiral Robert Blake, by Edgar Papworth was installed in the reception area. A bust of the locally-born novelist and dramatist, Henry Fielding, was unveiled by the American Romantic poet, James Russell Lowell, on 8 September 1883 and a bust of the locally-born soldier, Colonel John Chard VC, was unveiled by the Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, Field Marshal Viscount Wolseley, on 2 November 1898 The Shire Hall continued to be used as a facility for dispensing justice but, following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1888, which established county councils in every county, it also became the meeting place of Somerset County Council. Following the First World War, a plaque was unveiled which commemorated county council employees who had died in the war. After the County Council moved to County Hall in 1935, the former Shire Hall continued to be used as a Crown Court. A programme of refurbishment works were completed in 2018 following the discovery of structural issues with the building. References
