St. James' Church, Standard Hill
St. James' Church, Standard Hill was a Church of England church in Nottingham. History In 1807 an Act of Parliament sanctioned the erection of a new church. It was opposed by the three clergy of the existing parishes of Nottingham, but the land was acquired in the extra-parochial district of Standard Hill, over which none of the existing clergy had jurisdiction. Despite the failure of their opposition, the three clergy succeeded in clogging its usefulness by imposing conditions on it. It had no parish, and marriages could not be celebrated in it during its first years. The principal backers of this new church were Thomas Hill, Edmund Wright, Richard Eaton and Benjamin Maddock. In 1808 a cornerstone was laid. The Rev. J. H. Maddock acted as Chaplain. The building proceeded and in 1809 the edifice was consecrated by Edward Venables-Vernon-Harcourt the Archbishop of York. Shortly afterwards an independent congregation started to meet in the church. They left in 1883 when they o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Demolished Buildings And Structures In England
Demolition (also known as razing, cartage, and wrecking) is the science and engineering in safely and efficiently tearing down of buildings and other artificial structures. Demolition contrasts with deconstruction, which involves taking a building apart while carefully preserving valuable elements for reuse purposes. For small buildings, such as houses, that are only two or three stories high, demolition is a rather simple process. The building is pulled down either manually or mechanically using large hydraulic equipment: elevated work platforms, cranes, excavators or bulldozers. Larger buildings may require the use of a wrecking ball, a heavy weight on a cable that is swung by a crane into the side of the buildings. Wrecking balls are especially effective against masonry, but are less easily controlled and often less efficient than other methods. Newer methods may use rotational hydraulic shears and silenced rock-breakers attached to excavators to cut or break through wo ...
