Banbury Town Hall

Banbury Town Hall is a municipal facility in the High Street in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. The town hall, which was the headquarters of Banbury Borough Council from its completion in 1854 until 1930, is a Grade II listed building. It now serves as the headquarters of Banbury Town Council. History The first town hall in the town was built in Cornhill in around 1590. It was replaced by a second town hall, constructed in timber, in the Market Place in around 1633 and followed by a third, more substantial structure, on the same site as the second building, in around 1790. The building was designed with arcading on the ground floor to allow markets to be held; an assembly room was established on the first floor. After the anti-reformist, Heneage Legge was elected member of parliament for Banbury in November 1819 by the members of Banbury Corporation, who were the only people allowed to vote, there was rioting in the town centre: the windows in the town hall were broken and attempts were made to tear down the pillars supporting the first floor of the building. Following the passing of the Reform Act in 1832, a public procession and a fête were held on the town. After deciding, in the mid-19th century, that the Bridge Street area was in need of regeneration, civic leaders decided to procure a new town hall at the east end of the High Street. The new building, which was designed by Edward George Bruton in the Gothic Revival style and built by Chesterman Brothers of Abingdon, was completed in October 1854. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing the junction of the High Street and Market Place; the central section, which projected forward, featured an arched doorway on the ground floor and a balcony with an ogee headed window on the first floor. A clock tower and spire were added in 1860; the clock was by Smith & Sons of Derby. The principal room was an assembly hall on the first floor. The building was extended to the south west to create a council chamber in 1891. The town hall was the headquarters of Banbury Borough Council until the council moved its administration to the mechanics' institute in Marlborough Road in 1930. The building remained in public ownership. A new Banbury Town Council was created in 2000, which now meets and has its offices in the town hall. On 27 November 2008, Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the town hall and unveiled a plaque commemorating the 400th anniversary of the granting of the town's charter. Works of art in the town hall include a painting depicting Ancient Rome by Giovanni Paolo Panini, a painting depicting columns in an Italianate landscape by Claude Lorrain and a painting depicting the judgement of Midas by Luca Giordano. There are also portraits of Prince Rupert of the Rhine by Johannes Mytens and of the parliamentarian, John Hampden, by Godfrey Kneller. Notes References
St Michael and All Angels Church, Howick

St Michael and All Angels Church is a Church of England parish church located within the grounds of the gardens of Howick Hall in the village of Howick, Northumberland, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building, receiving around twenty thousand visitors annually. History and features The parish of Howick dates back to 1158 when a priest named Asket is recorded, but there was a church here long before his time. The original temple was built in Norman style, it was destroyed by a fire in 1746 and was replaced by what the church guide calls 'a curious Ionic temple'. That 'Ionic' building burnt down in turn and was replaced by the present church in 1848, which was designed by the architect FJ Francis. This neo-Norman style temple is a typically Victorian building, with round-arched Romanesque windows and doors. Francis extended the church eastward by the addition of a chancel and vestry, and westward by the bell-cote. The church is closely related to the Greys of Howick Hall, and many of the members of the Grey family are buried in the churchyard. The most famous and important of them was Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, who served as Prime Minister between 1830 and 1834. It was during his tenure that the Reform Act 1832 was passed, paving the way for representative democracy. But today he is best remembered not for his political achievements, but for the tea that bears his name. The Greys did more than just go to church. Maria Copley, 3rd Countess Grey (1803–1879), was a sculptor. She carved the gargoyles that decorate the exterior north wall. Mabel Palmer, 5th Countess (1884–1958), commissioned the paintings behind the altar and the baptismal font, and are regarded with mixed feelings. Michael Fisher, the second Anglican Bishop of St Germans, recounts the experience with the family of Charles Grey, 5th Earl Grey in his memoir For the Time Being: A Memoir, he mentions that they were devout High Church Anglicans, but the churchmanship of St Michael's is unclear.

Iglesia de San Miguel y Todos los Ángeles (Howick)

La Iglesia de San Miguel y Todos los Ángeles (en inglés: St Michael and All Angels Church), o para abreviar Iglesia de San Miguel (St Michael’s Church), es un templo perteneciente a la Iglesia de Inglaterra, situado en los terrenos de los jardines de Howick Hall en el pueblo de Howick, Northumberland, Inglaterra. El edificio fue concedido el grado II en la Lista del Patrimonio Nacional de Inglaterra y está clasificado como Monumento clasificado del Reino Unido,​ recibe alrededor de veinte mil visitantes al año.​ Historia y características La parroquia de Howick se remonta al menos 1158 cuando se registra a un sacerdote llamado Asket. Aunque Asket es el primer sacerdote documentado, parece cierto que había una iglesia aquí mucho antes de su tiempo.​ En 1746, un incendio destruyó el templo normando y fue reemplazado por lo que la guía de la iglesia llama «un curioso templo jónico». Ese edificio del siglo XVIII se incendió a su vez y fue reemplazado por la iglesia actual en 1848. El arquitecto del edificio actual fue F. J. Francis, quien optó por crear un edificio típicamente victoriano en estilo neo-normando, con ventanas y puertas del estilo románico de arco redondo.​ Francis extendió la iglesia hacia el este con la adición de un presbiterio y una sacristía.​ La iglesia está estrechamente vinculada con los Grey de Howick Hall, y muchos de los miembros de la familia de Grey están enterrados en el cementerio. El más famoso de ellos fue Charles Grey, II conde de Grey, quien se desempeñó como primer ministro entre 1830–1834. Fue durante su mandato que se aprobó la Ley de reforma de 1832, allanando el camino para la democracia representativa. Pero hoy es mejor recordado no por sus logros políticos, sino por el té que lleva su nombre.​ Los Grey hicieron más que solo ir a la iglesia. María Copley, III condesa de Grey (1803–1879), fue una escultora y artista consumada. Ella esculpió las gárgolas que decoran la pared norte exterior. Mabel Palmer, la V condesa (1884–1958), encargó las pinturas detrás del altar y la pila bautismal, y son consideradas con sentimientos encontrados.​ Michael Fisher, obispo de St Germans, cuenta la experiencia con la familia de Charles Grey, V conde de Grey en su memorias For the Time Being: A Memoir, menciona que eran anglicanos devotos de la tradición de la iglesia alta.​ Pero la churchmanship de la Iglesia de San Miguel no está clara.

Higham Ferrers Town Hall

Higham Ferrers Town Hall is a municipal building in the Market Square in Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, England. The structure, which serves as the offices and meeting place of Higham Ferrers Town Council, is a Grade II listed building. History The first town hall was a medieval structure in the Market Square, which incorporated a lock-up for incarcerating petty criminals and an external staircase on the east side providing access to an assembly room on the first floor. The assembly room displayed two sets of mid-17th century coats of armour, which were relocated to St Mary's Church when the old town hall was demolished. In the early 19th century, after the old town hall became dilapidated, civic leaders decided to replace it with a new structure in a similar position. The new building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1809. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto the Market Square. The central bay, which was slightly projected forward, was fenestrated by a sash window on the ground floor and by a Venetian window on the first floor; it was surmounted by a pediment, with a roundel containing the borough coat of arms in the tympanum, and a ball finial. The bays flanking the central bay were fenestrated by sash windows on both floors, while the outer bays contained doorways with rectangular fanlights on the ground floor and were blind on the first floor. There was a parapet at roof level. Internally, the principal room was the council chamber on the first floor, which featured a moulded ceiling and a chandelier. Higham Ferrers had a very small electorate and a dominant patron, William Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam, which meant it was recognised by the UK Parliament as a rotten borough. Its right to elect members of parliament was removed by the Reform Act 1832, and its borough council, which had met in the council chamber, was reformed under the Municipal Corporations Act 1883. A war memorial, in the form of a stone column with a segmentally shaped pediment, which was intended to commemorate the lives of local service personnel who had died in the First World War was designed by Talbot, Brown & Fisher and unveiled outside the town hall on 11 November 1921. During the Second World War, a company of the 8th (Wellingborough District) Battalion of the Northamptonshire Home Guard were based in the building. The building continued to serve as the meeting place of the borough council for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged East Northamptonshire District Council was formed in 1974. It subsequently became the meeting place of Higham Ferrers Town Council. Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the town hall and met with civic leaders, in May 1985. Works of art in the town hall include a portrait by Frank O. Salisbury of the mayor, John White, and a portrait by Solomon Joseph Solomon of Alderman Owen Parker. References
Shirehall, Norwich

The Shirehall is a municipal facility in Market Avenue, Norwich, Norfolk. It is a Grade II listed building. History An early Shirehall was built atop the Norwich Castle mound in around 1270 and rebuilt during the Elizabethan era. The current Shirehall, which was designed by William Wilkins in the Tudor Revival style, was completed in 1823. The design involved a symmetrical castellated main frontage with nine bays facing onto the Market Avenue; the central section, which projected slightly forward, featured an arched doorway, a triple window on the first floor and a shield above the window; there were polygon-shaped turrets at roof level. Important cases at the Shirehall included the trial and conviction of James Bloomfield Rush for the murders of Isaac Jermy and his son, Isaac Jermy Jermy, at Stanfield Hall in April 1849. The building 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 Norfolk County Council. An extension to the Shirehall, to the south of the main building and known as Shirehall Chambers, was built using Bath stone and opened in 1909. The education department, and some other departments, moved to new premises at Thorpe Road in Norwich in 1929. After the county council moved to County Hall in 1968, the building continued to be used as a Crown Court until the new Courts Complex in Bishopgate was completed in 1988. The building became the Regimental Museum of the Royal Norfolk Regiment in 1990. Although archives and the reserve collections continued to be held in the Shirehall, the principal museum display there closed in September 2011, and relocated to the main Norwich Castle Museum, reopening fully in 2013. Meanwhile, the courtroom in the Shirehall was refurbished and re-opened to the public in September 2013. The Norwich Castle Study Centre, which now occupies the Shirehall, contains a number of important collections, including an extensive collection of more than 20,000 costume and textile items, built up over a period of some 130 years, and previously kept in other Norwich museums. Although not a publicly open museum in the usual sense, items in the collections are accessible to the general public, students, researchers and others by prior appointment. References

Young Vic

Il Young Vic è un teatro di Londra, situato nella zona di The Cut, nel borgo di Lambeth. Storia Il teatro nacque come compagnia teatrale, la Young Vic Company, nel 1946, per volere di George Devine, direttore dell'Old Vic. Lo scopo della compagnia era presentare opere teatrale per un pubblico di bambini e adolescenti tra i nove e i quindici anni, ma il progetto ebbe vita breve e si concluse nel 1949. Il teatro come si erge ora fu costruito tra il 1969 ed il 1970 per volere del regista Frank Dunlop come succursale del Royal National Theatre. Costruito sui resti di una macelleria, il teatro si rese indipendente dalla compagnia del National Theatre nel 1974 e, secondo il suo direttore artistico Laurence Olivier, il Young Vic era destinato a sviluppare nuove opere teatrali per un pubblico più giovane, offrendo occasioni di crescita artistica a drammaturghi, registi e attori. Il teatro Il Young Vic fu inaugurato da Frank Dunlop con la prima produzione del suo adattamento de Le furberie di Scapino di Molière nel 1970. Il teatro comprende un auditorium principale - con la capienza di 420 posti a sedere e uno spazio scenico che può variare a seconda delle scelte registiche - e due sale più piccole create nel corso degli anni: la sala Maria (in onore di Maria Björnson), con 150 posti, e la sala Clare (in onore di Clare Venables), che ospita fino a settanta spettatori. Sin dagli anni 70, il teatro si affermò per le sue produzioni innovative di classici del teatro europeo e americano, segnando anche debutti importanti come quello di Ian Charleson in Ricorda con rabbia (1972). Altri rinomati attori che hanno recitato al Young Vic sono Vanessa Redgrave, Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, Timothy Dalton, Robert Lindsay, Willard White, John Malkovich, Michael Sheen, Jude Law e Arthur Lowe. Nel 2004 il teatro fu chiuso per un restauro da 12 milioni e mezzo di sterline, completato nell'ottobre 2006. Alla sua riapertura, il Young Vic proseguì nella sua missione di portare in scena allestimenti rivoluzioni di classici teatrali e di opere di prosa e musical mai rappresentati in precedenza sulle scene londinesi. Diverse produzioni nate al Young Vic hanno poi goduto di grande successo di critica e pubblico nel West End londinese, a Broadway e nell'Off Broadway. Tra esse il musical di John Kander e Fred Ebb The Scottsboro Boys (2012), Un tram che si chiama Desiderio con Gillian Anderson (2014), un revival di Uno sguardo dal ponte diretto da Ivo van Hove (2015) e la prima mondiale della pièce in due parti di Matthew Lopez The Inheritance.

Янг-Вик

«Янг Вик» (англ. Young Vic Theatre) — театр на улице Кат, расположенный около Саут-Бэнк, в лондонском боро Ламбет. Специализируется на предоставлении возможностей молодым актёрам и режиссёрам. Театр имеет высокую артистическую репутацию. Драматург Дэвид Лэн является художественным руководителем театра с 2000 года. Его философия: «Большие игры для великих зрителей, теперь и в будущем». История Имя «Янг-Вика» происходит от соседнего Олд Вика, одного из самых знаменитых театров Лондона и первого дома Национального Театра. Труппа Янг-Вика была сформирована после Второй мировой войны, в 1946 году, режиссёром Джорджем Девайном как ответвление от театральной школы Олд-Вика с целью постановки классических пьес для зрителей в возрасте 9 — 15 лет. Всё закончилось в 1948 году, когда Девайн и его помощники ушли из Олд Вика, но в 1969 Франк Данлоп стал основателем и художественным руководителем нового театра Янг Вика, открывшегося 11 сентября 1970. Первоначально Янг Вик был частью Национального Театра, а с 1974 года стал независимым. Театр Янг Вик Франк Данлоп закончил проект театра в 1970. Здание из шлакобетонного кирпича было построено на улице Кат на месте мясной лавки и смежного разбомблённого участка. Оно предназначалось для первых пяти лет, но стало постоянным. Аудитория с большой авансценой, выдвинутой в зрительный зал, имеет вместимость 500 человек, но пространство может изменяться в зависимости от конфигурации студии для каждой постановки. В дополнение к главному зданию Янг Вика существуют два меньших. Большее из них — Мария, названная в честь театрального проектировщика Марии Бьёрнсон, — способно вместить 150 человек. Клэр, названная в честь прежнего художественного руководителя Шеффилдского Театра Крусибл, Клэр Венаблз, рассчитано на 70 человек. Как и главное здание, оба меньших театра имеют гибкие опорные конструкции для маневренности в процессе постановки пьес. Во всех театрах Янг Вика сцена находится в непосредственной близости от аудитории. Янг Вик прежде всего выполняет постановку классических пьес, но часто в новой обработке. Много известных актёров работали в Янг Вике, начиная от Иана Чарлезона, который дебютировал в Янг Вике в 1972-74, а также Ванесса Редгрейв, Хелен Миррен, Джуди Денч, Тимоти Далтон, Клайв Оуэн и Джуд Лоу. В театре располагается мемориал, который посвящён 54 людям, погибшим в 1941 году при попытке спрятаться в подвалах прежнего здания во время «лондонского блица».
