Fry Building

The Fry Building of the University of Bristol is a Grade II listed building built in 1909 by Sir George Oatley. In September 2019, staff and postgraduate students moved into the refurbished building ahead of the start of term. History The building is named for the Fry family who donated land and funds to the university at its founding in 1909, when Lewis Fry was Chairman of the College Council. The Fry family was prominent in England, especially Bristol, in the Society of Friends, and as J. S. Fry & Sons in the confectionery business in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. They intermarried with many of the other prominent Quaker families and were involved in business and social and philanthropic causes. The original section of the building was constructed in 1880, designed by architect Charles Francis Hansom. In 1909 Sir George Oatley was appointed to design a new university department for Chemistry and Physiology, further extending the Fry Building to the southwest. The building was used for the School of Biological Sciences until 2014. On 6 January 2018, while £33 million building work was underway to convert it into a new mathematics department, the building caught fire. Avon Fire and Rescue Service responded with a turntable ladder and multiple fire engines. A helicopter was used to illuminate the area. The cause of fire was investigated and labelled accidental by the fire and rescue service. Staff and students of the School of Mathematics moved into the building in September 2019. Architecture The majority of the building is Grade II listed and constructed of pennant stone with limestone dressings and slate roof. The exterior is "architecturally ornate", including lead light windows and a decorative castellated parapet. Public art Public art in the form of a Voronoi pattern acts as a brise soleil on the new glass facade overlooking Wills Memorial Building. This screen encloses what were originally external walls. Outside, the design of the paving layout draws on the work of the Nobel Prize-winning Bristol-born mathematician Paul Dirac (1902–1984). Dirac notation is also present as a pattern on the internal glazing throughout the building. References

Sacred Heart Church, Tunstall

Sacred Heart Church is a Roman Catholic church in Queen's Avenue in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, England, and in the Archdiocese of Birmingham. The building, completed in 1930, is Grade II listed. History A building containing a school and a chapel was built in 1853 in Plex Street, Tunstall, and had a resident priest from 1854. A new church, dedicated to St Mary, and presbytery were built in 1869 in Sun Street (now St Aidan's Street). St Mary's was in use until the opening in 1930 of the Church of the Sacred Heart in Queen's Avenue. The Sun Street building remained as a Sunday school until it was sold in 1934. The foundation stone was laid by Bishop Thomas Shine in 1925. The church was originally by John Sydney Brocklesby, the architect of St Joseph's Church, Burslem; P. J. Ryan, the parish priest from 1903 to 1951, initially clerk of works for this building, completed the design. It was opened by Archbishop Richard Downey in 1930.

Council House, Handsworth

The Council House is a former municipal building in Soho Road in Handsworth, West Midlands, a suburb of Birmingham in England. The building, which is currently used as a public library and college campus, is a Grade II listed building. History Following significant population growth, largely associated with steam engine manufacturing at Soho Foundry, a local board of health was formed in Handsworth in 1877. The board decided to commission a municipal building for its use, to provide Local Board offices, a meeting room for the Board, committee rooms and a large public room, 'together with stables, cart and implement sheds, and other requisite accommodation'. The site selected was on the north side of Soho Road. The foundation stone for the new building was laid on 30 October 1877. It was designed by Alexander & Henman of Stockton-on-Tees in the Gothic Revival style, built in red brick and terracotta at a cost of £20,662 and was completed in 1879. The design involved a main frontage of 16 bays facing onto Soho Road. The left-hand section of five bays formed a public library and the right-hand section of 11 bays formed the council house. A Fire Engine Station was included at the rear. The library section, which was asymmetrical, featured a polygon-shaped bay which was projected forward and surmounted by a turret, and there was an arched doorway in the right-hand bay. The library opened, 'with a collection of about 5,000 volumes' on 1 May 1880; it quickly grew and the building was extended in 1891. The council house section, which was broadly symmetrical, featured a five-stage tower in the central bay, flanked by connecting sections of two bays each, and by end sections of three bays each (which were slightly projected forward and gabled); the other bays were generally fenestrated with bi-partite or tri-partite mullioned and transomed windows. The tower had an arched doorway in the first stage, an oriel window in the second stage, lancet windows in the third and fourth stages, with machicolations above, and a timbered clock in the fifth stage. The clock was by the local firm of clockmakers, W. F. Evans; it sounded the hours and quarters on three bells, made by a Birmingham bellfounder, James Barwell. In 1894, the board was succeeded by Handsworth Urban District Council, which used the Council House as its offices, but the building ceased to be the local seat of government when area was annexed by Birmingham City Council in 1911. The council house was subsequently leased to the Handsworth School of Dress Design, which was a branch of the Birmingham Government School of Design. The Birmingham Government School of Design became part of Birmingham Polytechnic in 1971. In the late 1970s, the vacant building was acquired by Handsworth Technical College (later City College Birmingham), which merged with South Birmingham College to form the Handsworth Campus of South and City College Birmingham in 2012.

Berkeley Town Hall

Berkeley Town Hall is a municipal building in Salter Street, Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England. The structure, which is now used as a community events venue, is a Grade II listed building. History The first municipal building in Berkeley was an ancient market house on the south side of Salter Street. After it became dilapidated, the mayor and aldermen decided to finance and commission a new market house. The site they selected was on the opposite side of Salter Street. They borrowed £400 for the purpose, although ownership of the property was vested in the lord of the manor, Maurice Berkeley, 1st Baron FitzHardinge, whose seat was at Berkeley Castle. The new building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1824. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto Salter Street. The ground floor was rusticated and contained three segmental headed openings, which were fitted with gates and railings, while the first floor was fenestrated by sash windows with window sills. There were piers at the corners on the ground floor, which rose to paired pilasters on the first floor and supported a cornice and a parapet. Internally, the principal rooms were a market hall on the ground floor and an assembly room on the first floor. By the mid-19th century, the markets had been abandoned and the ground floor was used for the storage of carts and other items. Meanwhile, the assembly room was used by the "British School and Young Men's Society". The borough council, which had met in the town hall, was abolished under the Municipal Corporations Act 1883. The openings on the ground floor were infilled and the market hall fitted out as a series of rooms at the expense of the then lord of the manor, Charles Berkeley, 3rd Baron FitzHardinge, in 1905. Following local government reorganisation in 1974, Berkeley Town Council made the town hall its regular meeting place. It also continued to serve as a venue for public meetings and other community events. An extensive programme of repairs to the parapet and roof was completed in 1978. References

The Church of St Botolph is an active Anglican parish church in the town of Knottingley, West Yorkshire, England. It is in the archdeaconry of York and the Diocese of Leeds. The church is named after St. Botolph and is a grade II listed building. History Earlier structures Although there are no records of such a chapel in Domesday Book it is believed a chapel of Saxon origin did stand on the site. A church of Norman origin is documented having been built between 1119 and 1121, built on the patronage of Robert de Lacy and the Monks of Pontefract. Present structure This church was rebuilt in the between 1750 and 1756; initially with the nave and chancel being rebuilt. The west tower was constructed in 1873, and the chancel was again rebuilt in 1886, with an upstairs gallery being added for an enlarged congregation. In 1888, the church was again remodelled with the galleries being removed and the addition of new windows.

Market House, Martock

The Market House, also known as Martock Town Hall, is a municipal building in Church Street in Martock, Somerset, England. The building, which is the meeting place of Martock Parish Council, is a Grade II listed building. History A Tuscan order column, with a ball finial and a wrought iron weather vane, which had been modelled on a monument commemorating the Emperor Trajan at Wilton House, was installed in the market place in 1741. However, until the mid-18th century, the only protection from the weather that market traders in the town enjoyed was an ancient oak tree. In around 1753, the vestry started discussions about erecting a dedicated market house, although it was not until the Slade family acquired the local manor in 1759, that plans progressed: the then lord of the manor, George Slade, commissioned the building in the early 1780s. The market hall was designed in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar hamstone and was completed in around 1785. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage facing south down Church Street; the ground floor was arcaded, so that butchers' markets could be held, with an assembly room on the first floor. There was a round headed opening with voussoirs and keystones on the ground floor, a Venetian window supported by brackets on the first floor and a semi-circular vent in the gable above. The side elevations extended back four bays with sash windows on the first floor while the north elevation, which was also fenestrated by a sash window on the first floor, was surmounted by a turret containing a small bell. The manorial estate, including the market house, was purchased by Robert Goodden of Compton House in the early 19th century. The ground floor was used to accommodate the local fire cart from around that time and was then used to accommodate the local horse-drawn fire engine from the mid-19th century. Following implementation of the Local Government Act 1894, which established parish councils, the assembly room became the meeting place of the local parish council. A plaque commemorating the exploits of the early aviator, Douglas Graham Gilmour, who had flown in a Bristol Biplane from Larkhill in Wiltshire to Hinton St George in Somerset in April 1911, was transferred from his hangar at Bower Hinton farm to the market house in June 1941. The building remained in the ownership of the Goodden family until it was acquired by the parish council in 1954. The building was restored in the early 1960s, at which time the rear two bays were infilled for use as public toilets. A grant of £190,000 was obtained from the Heritage Lottery Fund to restore the building and establish a community office on the ground floor in 2008. Following completion of the works, the parish council re-occupied the assembly room on the first floor. References

St John's Church, Fishpond Bottom

St John's Church is a Church of England church in Fishpond Bottom, Dorset, England. It was built in 1852 and has been a Grade II listed building since 1984. Today the church forms part of the Golden Cap Team of Churches, with a morning service held there three Sundays a month. History St John's was built in 1852 as a chapel of ease to the parish church of St Candida and Holy Cross at Whitchurch Canonicorum. With a three to four mile journey to the parish church from Fishpond Bottom, Rev. William Palmer, the vicar of Whitchurch Canonicorum, began conducting a Sunday evening service in a licensed room at Fishpond Bottom around the beginning of 1852. The attendance of the weekly service surpassed the vicar's expectations and a purpose-built church was then erected through his efforts. Construction of the church began in May 1852 and was completed by September. At the time of completion, the church was licensed but not consecrated. Design The church, designed to accommodate 200 persons, is made up of a four-bay nave and north porch, with a turret containing one bell on the roof's west gable.

The intermediate space between the stone walls is filled with flint. Interior fittings include a small octagonal stone font and stained glass of 1967 by Arthur Edward Buss. The altar room contains slate flooring laid by John Stark and Partners in 1963. References External links Golden Cap Team of Churches website
Priory Hall, Dudley

Priory Hall is a building in Dudley, West Midlands, England, formerly owned by the Earls of Dudley. It is in Priory Park, and is a Grade II listed building. History The hall was built in 1825, in the grounds of Dudley Priory. The priory and its estate had been granted, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, to Edward Sutton, 4th Baron Dudley in 1554. John Ward, 1st Earl of Dudley, the later inheritor of the estate, built the hall on a site north-west of the remains of the priory. The ruins, which had been occupied by businesses, were cleared of industrial debris and made into a picturesque feature; a driveway was created through the ruins. The hall was built in Tudor style, with battlements and corner turrets. It was intended as the family residence in Dudley; it became the home of the Earl's mining agent, Francis Downing. The hall and surrounding land remained the property of the Earls of Dudley until 1926, when it was acquired by Dudley Borough Council. The hall is now Dudley register office. References
Hebden Bridge Town Hall

Hebden Bridge Town Hall, formerly Hebden Bridge Council Offices, is a municipal building in St George's Street, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, England. The town hall, which is the meeting place of Hebden Royd Town Council, is a Grade II listed building. History Following significant population growth, largely associated with clothing manufacturing, Hebden Bridge became an urban district in 1894. In this context the new civic leaders decided to procure a town hall: the site they selected was on the west bank of the Hebden Water. The new building was designed by a local firm, Sutcliffe and Sutcliffe, in the Jacobean style, built in ashlar stone and was officially opened on 11 May 1898. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with four bays facing onto St George's Street; the left hand section of two bays featured, in the right hand bay, an porch with an arch and a keystone on the ground floor and a mullioned and transomed window on the first floor. The central section featured a prominent oriel window on the first floor, while the right hand section featured a wide arched opening and a doorway to the former fire station, a five light mullioned and transomed window on the first floor and a three light window on the second floor. The central and right hand sections were surmounted by pedimented gables with oculi in the tympana. Internally, the principal room was the council chamber, which featured wooden panelling, on the first floor. A war memorial, in the form of a brass plaque, to commemorate the lives of local service personnel who had died in the Second Boer War, was unveiled in the entrance hall of the building in 1902. The building continued to serve as the headquarters of Hebden Bridge Urban District Council and, from 1937, of Hebden Royd Urban District Council, but it ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council was formed in 1974. The building, which was subsequently underused, began to deteriorate: however, a not-for-profit entity, Hebden Bridge Community Association, was formed and went on to acquire the building on a 40-year lease (subsequently extended to 125 years), along with sufficient funds to carry out basic maintenance work, on 1 April 2010. With financial support from the European Regional Development Fund and Community Builders Fund, the community association then redeveloped an adjacent site to the southwest of the town hall which had been used as a car park. The works, which were carried to a design by Bauman Lyons, involved the construction of a modern structure for community and business use: the new development which cost £3.7 million was named the Waterfront Hall and opened in August 2012. The BBC Radio 4 programme, Any Questions? was broadcast from the new Waterfront Hall shortly after it opened. Meanwhile, the town hall continued to serve as the meeting place of Hebden Royd Town Council. References
