Singer and entertainer Max Boyce was guest of honour at the official opening. The club was placed in Midlands 1 when the league system was introduced in 1987. A reorganisation of the leagues resulted in the club moving to Midlands 2 East but Mansfield gained two promotions, moving into Midlands 1 followed by the club reaching its highest league position in 2011 to National League 3. As an amateur club they were unable to sustain that level of competition after losing several players to professional rugby and recent seasons saw three relegations. However, most recently in 2023 they have been promoted.

Mansfield Bus Station

Mansfield Bus Station serves the town of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. Nottinghamshire County Council decided to move the 1970s bus station nearer to the rail station, after the Robin Hood Line passenger service was re-established in 1995. The primary bus operators are Stagecoach, Trent Barton and National Express. History The former Quaker Meeting House sat on part of the site of new the bus station. George Fox, the founder of the Quakers in 1647, lived in a cottage at the site of St Philip Neri Church on Chesterfield Road in Mansfield. It was at this time he started his ministry. The Mansfield Quaker Heritage Trail starts from the bus station and leads to different sites in and around the town centre. Nottinghamshire County Council under Labour planned to move the old bus station, created as part of extensive town redevelopment in the 1970s, from Rosemary Street nearer to the rail station to create a transport interchange. Under a Conservative county administration from the May 2009 election, the project was approved. The Department of Transport provided most of the finance with Nottinghamshire Council contributing £1.7 million. Planning permission was given to develop a new bus station on the Station Road car park. The bus station, with sixteen bays, was built in 2013 at a cost £11m, and opened on 31 March 2013. Facilities Mansfield Bus Station is connected via skybridge to Mansfield railway station. The bus station has a shop, free Wi-Fi, accessible toilets and baby changing facilities.

Mansion House, Doncaster

The Mansion House is a municipal building in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. The building, which is owned and managed by Doncaster Council, is a Grade I listed building. History The mansion house stands on the site of the Carmelite Friary, which had been established in Doncaster in 1350 and remained until its dissolution and destruction on 13 November 1538. During the 18th century, Doncaster's position on the Great North Road brought wealth to the town. The town's corporation was frequently called on to host entertainments, initially at the mayor's house or the Angel or Three Cranes inns. In 1719, they took a lease on a house in the High Street for holding feasts, but let this lapse around 1727. They then bought a site on the High Street in 1738, with the intention of building a permanent base for entertaining, but little construction took place for several years. In 1746, James Paine was appointed as architect: although young, Paine had already worked on Nostell Priory and had designed Heath House, both near Wakefield. Mansion Houses had already been constructed in Newcastle upon Tyne (later demolished), York and London. The building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone at a cost of £8,000, and was officially opened in April 1749. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto the High Street. The ground floor was rusticated and featured a wide central opening flanked by two square windows. The first floor featured a piano nobile, formed by a central round headed window flanked by sash windows with pediments, all separated by pairs of Corinthian order columns supporting an entablature and a modillioned cornice. William Lindley extended the building between 1801 and 1806, adding an attic storey, a rear banqueting hall and rear landing. King Charles III, accompanied by Queen Camilla, visited the mansion house and conferred city status on Doncaster in November 2022. Friends of Doncaster Mansion House The charity Friends of Doncaster Mansion House (Registered Charity Number 1171398) was formed in January 2015 "to support Doncaster Council to conserve, restore, research, interpret and display the Mansion House and its contents for the benefit for all sections of the community and for future generation to open up the Mansion House to the public". Friends of the Mansion House organised an open day at the mansion house in May 2016. In March 2017, the Friends of Doncaster Mansion House launched the James Paine Festival to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the birth of the architect.

Mansion House (Doncaster)

Roncaste Mansion House es un edificio catalogado de grado I en Doncaster, South Yorkshire, Inglaterra. Es propiedad y está administrado por Doncaster Council, y se utiliza para funciones cívicas y privadas, incluidos recorridos, meriendas, servicios de bodas y recepciones oficiales. Historia Se encuentra en el sitio del Carmelite Friary, que se había establecido en Doncaster en 1350 y permaneció hasta su disolución el 13 de noviembre de 1538, después de lo cual los edificios fueron destruidos.​ Durante el siglo XVIII, la posición de Doncaster en Great North Road trajo riqueza a la ciudad. La corporación del pueblo fue convocada con frecuencia para organizar entretenimientos, inicialmente en la casa del alcalde o en las posadas Ángel o Tres Grullas. En 1719, alquilaron una casa en High Street para celebrar fiestas, pero dejaron que esto caducara alrededor de 1727. Compraron un sitio en High Street en 1738, con la intención de construir una base permanente para el entretenimiento, pero se realizaron pocas construcciones durante varios años. En 1746, James Paine fue nombrado arquitecto en 1746.​ Aunque joven, Paine ya había trabajado en Nostell Priory y había diseñado Heath House, ambos cerca de Wakefield.​ Ya se habían construido Mansion Houses en Newcastle upon Tyne, demolido, York y Londres. Mientras que estos otros edificios contenían tanto salas de recepción formales como viviendas para el alcalde, el de Doncaster se diferenciaba por estar diseñado únicamente para el entretenimiento, aunque algunos alcaldes posteriores utilizaron el espacio del edificio como alojamiento. Paine planeó un edificio siguiendo los diseños ya establecidos de las Salas de Asambleas.​ Se completó en 1748 y se inauguró oficialmente en 1749, la construcción costó 8.000 libras esterlinas. A Paine se le ofreció de inmediato más trabajo en Doncaster, comenzando con reformas en Cusworth Hall. Publicó sus diseños para la Mansion House en 1751. Este trabajo mostró el edificio flanqueado por otras dos estructuras, marcadas como casas para el secretario municipal y el registrador, pero estas nunca formaron parte del encargo y no se construyeron.​ William Lindley amplió el edificio entre 1801 y 1806, agregando un ático, un salón de banquetes trasero y un descanso trasero. Amigos de Doncaster Mansion House La organización benéfica Friends of Doncaster Mansion House, número de organización benéfica registrada 1171398, se formó en enero de 2015 “para ayudar al Consejo de Doncaster a conservar, restaurar, investigar, interpretar y exhibir la Mansion House y su contenido en beneficio de todos los sectores de la comunidad y para generación futura a abrir la Mansion House al público”.​ En 2017, los Amigos de Doncaster Mansion House dirigieron el Festival James Paine,​ las celebraciones del 300 aniversario del nacimiento de James Paine, arquitecto del edificio.

Manton, Wiltshire

Manton is a suburb of the town of Marlborough in Wiltshire, England, just off the A4 Bath Road. History A settlement of twelve households and an estate held by Miles Crispin were recorded at Manetone in the 1087 Domesday Book. In the 17th century the estate came into the ownership of the earls and marquesses of Ailesbury, whose seat was nearby at Tottenham House; their ownership continued into the 20th century. Manton was a tithing of Preshute parish until 1934, when it was transferred to Marlborough civil parish. Local economy A small industrial estate on the A4 to the west of Manton houses several businesses including the headquarters of P&M Aviation, a manufacturer of ultralight aircraft. Amenities The village primary school is Preshute Primary School, which feeds into St Johns Academy in Marlborough. The village has a pub, the Oddfellows. The Anglican Church of St George is 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east of the village, next to Preshute House. This settlement was identified as Preshute as recently as the 1961 (7th series) Ordnance Survey map but on current maps and road signs it is part of Manton. There was a church at Preshute in the 12th century, and possibly earlier; fragments of 12th-century masonry survive. The font of black Tournai marble, 12th century, said to have been brought from St. Nicholas's chapel in Marlborough Castle in the 15th or 16th centuries, is described by Pevsner as a "truly amazing piece". The church was rebuilt, on the same foundations and retaining the 15th-century tower, by T.H. Wyatt in 1854; it is Grade II* listed. Today the parish is part of the Marlborough Anglican Team, together with St Mary's in Marlborough and St John the Baptist at Mildenhall. The Manton Estate The Manton Estate is 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of the village, on the Marlborough Downs in the parish of Preshute. It includes Manton House, Manton Lodge and Manton House Stables, currently operated by thoroughbred horse trainer Brian Meehan. The stables were established in the 1860s by Alec Taylor and then run by his son Alec Taylor, Jr. The estate was purchased by Leeds-born soap manufacturer Joseph Watson (died 1922), who in 1921 won the Oaks with Love in Idleness and came 3rd in the Derby with Lemonora; in 1922 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Manton. Later the estate was acquired by the Sangster family. References External links Baggs, A. P.; Freeman, Jane; Stevenson, Janet H. (1983). "The borough of Marlborough". In Crowley, D. A. (ed.).

Manton (Wiltshire)

Manton est un village du Wiltshire, en Angleterre. Il est situé à quelques kilomètres à l'ouest du centre-ville de Marlborough. Toponymie Manton est un toponyme d'origine vieil-anglaise. Le deuxième élément du nom est tūn « ferme », mais le premier élément est ambigu : il pourrait s'agir de l'adjectif mǣne « commun, mutuel » ou du nom d'homme Manna. Dans le Domesday Book, compilé en 1086, ce nom a pour forme Manetune. Géographie Manton se situe dans le Wiltshire, un comté du Sud-Ouest de l'Angleterre. Il se trouve juste à l'ouest de la ville de Marlborough. La Kennet, un affluent de la Tamise, coule au nord du village. Elle est longée par la route A4, axe routier majeur entre Londres et Bristol via Bath. Au recensement de 2011, la zone bâtie (built-up area) de Manton comptait 303 habitants. Pour les élections locales, Manton est rattaché au ward de Marlborough West. Pour les élections à la Chambre des communes, le village relève de la circonscription de Devizes. Histoire Le Domesday Book rapporte que juste avant la conquête normande de l'Angleterre en 1066, le domaine de Manton est la propriété du thegn Wigot de Wallingford. Vingt ans plus tard, il est passé au nouveau seigneur de Wallingford, l'Anglo-Normand Miles Crispin (en). En 1086, il compte 12 feux et sa valeur annuelle est évaluée à 3 livres. Il relève dès lors de l'honneur de Wallingford (en). Par la suite, Manton passe entre les mains de divers seigneurs, parmi lesquels William Collingbourne, exécuté en 1484 pour avoir soutenu Henri Tudor contre Richard III, et le duc de Somerset Edward Seymour, exécuté pour haute trahison en 1552. Le manoir devient au XVIIe siècle la propriété des comtes (puis marquis) d'Ailesbury (en). L'éleveur de chevaux Alec Taylor Sr. (en) (1823-1894) ouvre une écurie à Manton dans les années 1860. Son fils Alec Taylor Jr. (en) (1862-1943) lui succède à la tête de l'écurie. En 1918, il vend le domaine à Joseph Watson (1873-1922), un industriel de Leeds qui est anobli en tant que baron Manton (en) en 1922. Manton constitue un tithing du village de Preshute jusqu'en 1934, année de son rattachement à la paroisse civile de Marlborough.

Dartmouth Castle

Dartmouth Castle er et artillerifort, der er opført for at beskytte havnen i Dartmouth. De tidligste dele af fæstningen stammer fra 1380'erne, og de blev opført ved udmundingen af floden Dart for at imødegå truslen fra Frankrig. Det inkorporerede et kapel og skulle kunne tage kampen op med skibe med katapulter og tidlige kanoner. Mod slutningen af 1400-tallet blev fæstningen udvidet med et tårn til artilleri og en jernkæde, der kunne lægges tværs over havnen til et tårn ved Godmerock; det er det tidligst kendte kystartilleri i Storbritannien. Der blev tilføjet et kanonbatteri for at skræmme franskmændene fra at invadere i 1540'erne. Fæstningen blev brugt under den engelske borgerkrig fra 1642 til 1646, hvor det blev tydeligt, at den var sårbar overfor angreb fra land, hvilket resulterede i at Gallants Bower, der ligger over Dartmouth Castle, blev brugt til at beskytte den yderligere. I 1748 blev der tilføjet et nyt kanondæk kaldet Grand Battery, som indeholdt 12 kanoner. Efter mange års forfald i begyndelsen af 1800-tallet blev fæstningen opgraderet i 1859 med et moderne artilleri, men at kunne beskytte havnen Dartmouth var ikke længere en militær prioritet. I begyndelsen af 1900-tallet blev Dartmouth Castle betragtet som overflødig af myndighederne, der åbnede den for besøgende. Under både første og anden verdenskrig blev den brugt militært, men i 1955 blev den endeligt trukket ud af militær tjeneste. I 2000-tallet drives den af English Heritage og i 2007 havde den 37.940 besøgende.

Dartmouth Castle

Dartmouth Castle ist eine Burg an der Mündung des Dart River bei Dartmouth in der Grafschaft Devon in Großbritannien. Lage Es schützte zusammen mit dem am gegenüberliegenden Ufer gelegenen Kingswear Castle den Hafen gegen Eindringlinge von See. Unmittelbar angrenzend ist die Kirche St Petroc’s. Geschichte Bereits seit 1388 gab es hier eine Festung. Das gegenwärtige Bauwerk ist die älteste erhaltene englische Küstenfestung, die für Kanonen erbaut wurde. Es entstand 1481 bis 1495 und wurde im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert erweitert. Dartmouth Castle wurde bis ins 19. Jahrhundert als Festung genutzt. Von der Burg aus konnte eine Kette quer über das Wasser zum Kingswear Castle auf der anderen Seite gespannt werden. Diese versperrte im Verteidigungsfall die Ein- bzw. Ausfahrt des River Dart und schützte somit die Stadt Dartmouth und dessen Hinterland. Heute gehört das Castle dem English Heritage und kann gegen Entgelt besichtigt werden.

Château de Dartmouth

Le château de Dartmouth est un des deux châteaux (l'autre étant le château de Kingswear) qui se trouve à l'embouchure du Dart, dans le Devon au sud-ouest de l'Angleterre. Une première fortification est construite en 1388 sous la direction de John Hawley. L'actuelle tour est la plus ancienne fortification anglaise spécialement construite pour supporter des canons. Elle est construite entre 1481 et 1495. Des ajouts, comme la plate-forme à l'air libre, sont datés du XVIe siècle sous le règne d'Henri VIII puis au XVIIe siècle pour s'adapter aux nouvelles technologies militaires. Pendant la guerre civile, il est assiégé pendant un mois et pris par les royalistes qui effectuent des travaux de terrassements pour protéger son accès terrestre. Après cette occupation de trois ans, il est attaqué et repris par les parlementaires en 1646. Il continue d'être utilisé comme un fort jusqu'au XIXe siècle où il n’accueille plus que 5 canons. La batterie de canons du XIXe siècle constitue la plus grande part des structures encore en place. le fort a retrouvé une fonction militaire pendant les deux guerres mondiales, notamment dans les préparations du jour J. Le château est constitué de deux tours jumelles, une ronde et une carrée et des murs environnants qui dominent de très près le bord de l'eau. Une église est adjacente à l'enceinte du château qui appartient aujourd'hui à l'English Heritage.

Dvorac Dartmouth

Dvorac Dartmouth je utvrda koja je zajedno s dvorcem Kingswear štitila estuarij rijeke Dart u grofoviji Devon, Engleska. Mali kaštel (obalna utvrda) sagrađen je 1388. godine. Današnji toranj je najstarija preživjela engleska obalna utvrda posebno izgrađen za topove. Tijekom Građanskog rata bio je opkoljen na jedan mjesec, a zatim su ga rojalisti zauzeli. Dvorac je biou u upotrebi kao radna utvrde sve do 19. stoljeća, kada je smješten najmanje pet ogromnih 64-pdr topova. U 19. stoljeću bitnica je najznačajniji preostali dio dvorca i sam je ostao u vojnoj uporabi tijekom Prvog i Drugog svjetskog rata kada su izvršene pripreme za Dan D.
Castello di Dartmouth

Il castello di Dartmouth (in inglese: Dartmouth Castle) è un antico castello situato a Darthmouth, in Inghilterra, nel Regno Unito. L'edificio è situato sull'estuario del fiume Dart, a dirimpetto del Kingswear Castle, che si trova sull'altra sponda del corso d'acqua. Storia Le prime fondamenta del castello di Dartmouth vennero gettate nelle vicinanze del fiume Dart durante gli anni ottanta del quattordicesimo secolo per rispondere a un potenziale attacco da parte dei francesi. Fra le mura dell'edificio vi era una cappella dedicata a Petroc. La struttura era dotata di catapulte e, forse, anche di cannoni primordiali. Alla fine del XV secolo, il castello di Dartmouth fu ampliato con quello che è considerato il più antico esempio di torre costiera difensiva del Regno Unito, e dotato di una catena di ferro che, partendo dalla roccaforte, si estendeva fino alla torre di Godmerock, situata sull'altra sponda del fiume. Tale catena fungeva da barriera, e veniva innalzata durante gli attacchi fluviali nemici. Il timore di altri assedi da parte dei francesi, portò all'aggiunta di ulteriori batterie nell'edificio durante gli anni quaranta del Cinquecento. Il castello di Dartmouth fu utilizzato dal 1642 al 1646 nel corso della guerra civile inglese. Essendo vulnerabile agli attacchi di terra, la fortezza dovette fare affidamento sul vicino forte di Gallants Bower. Nel 1748 il castello fu dotato ancora una volta da una serie di dodici cannoni conosciuta come Grand Battery ("grandiosa batteria"). Dopo essere stato lasciato in uno stato di abbandono nel corso della prima metà del XIX secolo, nel 1859, il castello di Dartmouth venne provvisto di un moderno equipaggiamento militare. Nello stesso periodo, l'area in cui era collocato il forte perse di importanza strategica. Durante i primi anni del XX secolo, quando venne ritenuto ormai inutile a fini bellici, l'edificio divenne un'attrazione turistica. A partire dalla seconda guerra mondiale fino al 1955, il castello di Dartmouth venne temporaneamente adibito a struttura difensiva. A partire dal XXI secolo, il castello di Dartmouth è gestito dall'English Heritage. La fortificazione venne visitata da 37.940 persone nel 2007. Note Bibliografia (EN) Brian K.

Dartmouth Castle

Dartmouth Castle är en av ett par fästningar som bevakar floden Darts mynning i sydöstra Storbritannien. Den andra borgen är Kingswear Castle. Fästningen utgörs av två sammanlänkade torn, varav ett är runt och det andra är fyrkantigt, samt några sektioner mur. Fästningen är byggd på en klippavsats, väldigt nära strandlinjen. Kyrkan St Petroc's ligger precis intill. Den första fortifikationen på platsen uppfördes 1388 av John Hawley. Kanontornet, liksom Kingswear Castle, uppfördes i slutet av 1400-talet, och är den äldsta bevarade kustfortifikationen i England som byggts specifikt för att husera kanoner. Fästningen byggdes till och om under 1500- och 1600-talen. Under engelska inbördeskriget belägrades borgen av rojalisterna i en månad innan den intogs. De uppförde sedan en befästning ovanför borgen vid Gallant's Bower för att skydda den från landsidan. De höll borgen i tre år innan den attackerades och intogs av Thomas Fairfax för parlamentaristerna år 1646. Borgen fortsatte sedan att användas i försvarssyfte in på 1800-talet, då det inhyste fem stora 64-pundare. Batteriet från artonhundratalet utgör den största återstående delen av fästningen och användes av militären genom båda världskrigen. Under andra världskriget användes det för att övervaka förberedelserna för D-dagen. Dartmouth Castle ägs numera av English Heritage.
