Grade I Listed Building
In the United Kingdom, a listed building or listed structure is one that has been placed on one of the four statutory lists maintained by Historic England in England, Historic Environment Scotland in Scotland, in Wales, and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency in Northern Ireland. The term has also been used in the Republic of Ireland, where buildings are protected under the Planning and Development Act 2000. The statutory term in Ireland is " protected structure". A listed building may not be demolished, extended, or altered without special permission from the local planning authority, which typically consults the relevant central government agency, particularly for significant alterations to the more notable listed buildings. In England and Wales, a national amenity society must be notified of any work to a listed building which involves any element of demolition. Exemption from secular listed building control is provided for some buildings in current use for worship, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
St George's Church, Hanworth
St George's Church, Hanworth, is a Church of England parish church based in Hanworth, London. It is dedicated to Saint George and has Grade II* listed status. History There has been a church on the site, in Castle Way, since at least the 14th century; the church was first mentioned in 1293. The first known rector was Adam de Brome, founder of Oriel College, Oxford, in 1309. According to Daniel Lysons, vicar in 1800, the church was made of flint and stone with a low wooden turret. As the church's living was in the hands of the lord of the manor, only the name of the rector was mentioned. The original church included stained glass windows of the Coat of arms, coats of arms of the Crosby family, who owned the manor in 1471; the Killigrew family, who owned the manor in the latter part of the 16th century; and the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, Royal arms of 1625, incorporating the royal cypher JR. The latter window was moved to the rectory after the church's reconstruction ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mawson Arms
The Mawson Arms/Fox and Hounds is a Grade II* listed public house (at non-postal Mawson Row), 110 Chiswick Lane South, Chiswick. The entire terrace of five houses is listed, and they were built in about 1715 for Thomas Mawson; owner of what became the Griffin Brewery. They adjoin one side of Fuller's Griffin Brewery. The pub was once two separate pubs that now operate as one, but both names have been retained, with the pub having a separate hanging sign for each name, and different names printed along different parts of the building. It is one of very few pubs in England with two official names. Apparently a former landlord had not properly understood the licensing laws, and had split the pub into an ale house and a separate wines and spirits bar. Architecture In position the terrace of five houses culminates in this grand end terrace at the London corner of the brewery block. Its four-storey end-terrace house has long been extended by one-to-two storeys along Mawson Lane to e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sir Percy Alfred Harris, 1st Baronet, PC (6 March 1876 – 28 June 1952) was a British Liberal Party politician. He was Liberal Chief Whip and Deputy Leader of the Liberal Parliamentary Party. Political positions Percy Harris was regarded as a radical Liberal with a strong social conscience, which grew from representing a working-class area of the East End of London. He was particularly interested in the issue of social housing, a major responsibility of the London County Council. Harris sided with H. H. Asquith against David Lloyd George in 1918–23. Thereafter, he sought unity within the Liberal Party. When the Liberal Party split in 1931 over the issue of free trade, he sided with Sir Herbert Samuel and against the Liberal National breakaway led by Sir John Simon. Under the leadership of Sir Archie Sinclair, he rose to prominence in the party. Harris was a strong supporter of the social policies advocated by Sir William Beveridge and was key to getting Beveridge to run for t ...

Tabard Hotel
The block of three buildings containing The Tabard public house (formerly the Tabard Inn) is a Grade II* listed structure in Chiswick, London. The block, with a row of seven gables in its roof, was designed by Norman Shaw in 1880 as part of the community focus of the Bedford Park garden suburb. The block contains the Bedford Park Stores, once a co-operative, and a house for the manager. The first floor of the pub building is host to the Tabard Theatre. The block was most likely inspired by Holborn's 1585 Staple Inn, which similarly has a row of seven gables; a further inspiration is the 15th century Sparrowe's House, Ipswich, which has strongly projecting bays, gables, and a cornice above a row of shop windows. Building Purpose The block, including no. 2 Bath Road, was built in 1880 by the architect Norman Shaw as part of the communal focus of Jonathan Carr's development of the Bedford Park garden suburb; it included the inn, a house for the manager, and the Bedford Pa ...

St Leonard's Church, Heston
St Leonard's Church is the Grade II* listed Church of England parish church for Heston in the London Borough of Hounslow. History The church dates from the 14th century, though there are records of a priest in Heston in the 7th century. The Domesday Book makes no mention of Heston but in 1086 its manor was given to Walter of Saint-Valéry by William the Conqueror. The church was later given to the . In around 1270 Heston was made a separate parish under Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall, the Lord of the Manor. Richard of Cornwall was King John's second son and had served in the Barons' Crusade of 1239, where he succeeded as a negotiator for the release of prisoners. As Saint Leonard is the patron saint of prisoners it is possible that Richard dedicated the church to the saint, although the exact date of the dedication is unknown. The church tower survived the necessary rebuilding works in the 19th century, as did the lychgate. Naturalist Sir Joseph Banks (1743–1820) was la ...

Chiswick Mall
Chiswick Mall is a waterfront street on the north bank of the river Thames in the oldest part of Chiswick in West London, with a row of large houses from the Georgian and Victorian eras overlooking the street on the north side, and their gardens on the other side of the street beside the river and Chiswick Eyot. While the area was once populated by fishermen, boatbuilders and other tradespeople associated with the river, since Early Modern times it has increasingly been a place where the wealthy built imposing houses in the riverside setting. Many of the houses are older than they appear, as they were given new facades in the 18th or 19th century rather than being completely rebuilt; among them is the largest, Walpole House. St Nicholas Church, Chiswick lies at the western end; the eastern end reaches to Hammersmith. The street, which contains numerous listed buildings, partially floods at high water in spring tides.
