<p>The Oyster Bay Guardian is a weekly newspaper, published in Oyster Bay, New York since 1899. Nelson Disbrow began publishing the paper then, and built a building to house his operations on West Main Street. While the newspaper has moved on to another building, their building on West Main Street still remains and today houses a commercial printing operation. Today the house is a Town of Oyster Bay Landmark and a featured site on the Oyster Bay History Walk audio walking tour.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>So many buildings have changed over time either in their appearance or in the kind of business conducted, but this building, the Printery, allows us a view of the past coexisting nicely with the present. This cozy brown shingled building once housed the Oyster Bay Guardian, a weekly newspaper founded by Nelson Disbrow in 1899.</p><br>
<p>Disbrow had worked at several other New York newspapers, and first came to Oyster Bay in 1892 to work at our other local newspaper, The Oyster Bay Pilot. From 1899 to 1906 the Guardian had several homes, the first above a meat market on South Street and then in the Vail Building at 80 South Street. In 1905 the underhanded behavior of a rival newspaperman named Kennehan led the Disbrows to lose their lease in the Vail Building, and further pressure from their rival kept them from finding a rental anywhere in town.</p><br>
<p>Finally Nelson bought his own property here on West Main Street and in 1906 built the building you see today, continuing to print the weekly paper as well as run his private printing business. After his death in 1928 his son Leslie Disbrow continued the Printery, expanding the Guardian to eight pages instead of the previous four. After 68 years the Disbrow family sold the newspaper in 1967 to the newly formed Oyster Bay Publishing Company, a consortium of local women who elected Edwina Snow managing partner. The Disbrow family independently sold the Printery building to Elizabeth Schneider, who began her own endeavor as a private printer.</p><br>
<p>The Guardian newspaper had also been located at 32 East Main Street the former home of the grandparents of its Editor Emeritus Gloria O’Rourke who many may remember fondly for her colorful column called “Harbor Lights”. In 1999 the Guardian celebrated 100 years of continuous publication as an independently owned newspaper. They continue to report the weekly comings and goings of life in Oyster Bay to this day.</p><br>
<p>The Printery continues also, under the ownership of William Miller and Mary Abbene, and their print shop, complete with old hand presses and warped wooden floors is a rustic and charming highlight on our historic tour.</p><br>
<p>In October 2010, Richner Communications, a publishing company that owns several small publications throughout Long Island and New York, including the Herald Community Newspapers and The Jewish Star, bought the Oyster Bay Guardian.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Andrew in Stogursey, Somerset, England dates from the early 12th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The church of St Andrew, was built by William de Falaise, as a Benedictine priory church, around 1117 though it is believed to incorporate earlier features. It was given to Abbey at Lonlay near to Falaise. A small community of monks then settled in Stogursey forming the Priory of St. Andrews of the Ards, which the church served.</p><br>
<p>The church was enlarged around 1180 when the apses were demolished and the chancel extended. The priory was dissolved around 1440, and it became a parish church. It was further altered in the 15th century, the nave was extensively restored 1824 by Richard Carver and the chancel rebuilt between 1863 and 1865 by John Norton. The interior contains two Norman fonts.</p><br>
<p>At floor level in the south arch is a Sanctuary Ring installed in the 13th century. In Medieval England criminals could find a Place of Refuge in a church for up to forty days and then admit their crime or stand trial. If they admitted their felony they would forfeit their possessions and go into exile. The sanctuary ring in the Church of St Andrew was installed 1243 after a murderer, John de Rechich, was granted sanctuary and then absconded before his trial which meant that the priory was liable for his fine.</p><br>
<p>The tower holds six bells the oldest of which dates from 1611.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the Quantock Coast benefice within the Quantock deanery.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Petrock in Timberscombe, Somerset, England has a 15th-century tower, the rest of the building dating from 1708. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The church is dedicated to Saint Petroc, who probably visited the parish in the 6th century.</p><br>
<p>The chancel dates from around 1450, however sections of the nave walls may survive from an earlier building. Above the south doorway is a mural of David which dates from the Protestant Reformation. The font is 15th century and the pulpit from the 17th.</p><br>
<p>The tower which was built in the early 18th century, has a peel of eight bells.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the benefice of Dunster, Carhampton, Withycombe with Rodhuish, Timberscombe and Wootton Courtenay within the Exmoor deanery.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Mary Magdalene in Winsford, Somerset, England, dates back to the Norman period before the 13th century and has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>Winsford church is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene and was partly restored in 1858. The tower, which is 90 ft high, was constructed in three stages. There are six bells; the four heaviest were made by Thomas Bilbie in Cullompton in 1765.</p><br>
<p>Within the church is a fine painted panel created in 1609 during the reign of King James I. The ironwork on the inner doors of the church is thought to date from the 13th century, originating from the priory of St Nichola in Barlynch, and the font is from the Norman period. The organ was installed c. 1900, being delivered by horse-drawn wagon from nearby Dulverton. The church register dates back to 1660.</p><br>
<p>Tororo Rock is a rock formation located in the town of Tororo in eastern Uganda.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The rock is situated approximately 5 km southeast of the central business district of the town. The coordinates of the rock are:00 41 06N, 34 11 01E (Latitude:0.6850; Longitude:34.1836).</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>It is reported that Tororo Rock is visible from anywhere in Tororo District. There is saying in Tororo: "The Eiffel Tower is to Paris as the magnificent Tororo Rock is to Tororo District. The rock is a major tourist attraction.</p><br>
<h2>Elevation</h2><br>
<p>The highest altitude of Tororo Rock is 4,865 ft with a gradient of about 0.75 from the east to the west. On the rock&#39;s slopes are ancestral caves and various rock paintings. The elevation of Tororo Town is 3,888 ft. Therefore, Tororo Rock towers 977 ft above downtown Tororo.</p><br>
<p>Kandila  is a village and a community in the municipal unit of Levidi, Arcadia, Greece. It is situated on the southern slope of the Oligyrtos mountain, at about 800 m elevation. In 2011, it had a population of 690 for the village and 714 for the community, which includes the village Diakopi. Kandila is near the tripoint of Arcadia, Corinthia and Argolis. It is 5 km southwest of Skoteini , 12 km northeast of Levidi and 29 km north of Tripoli. The Greek National Road 66  passes through the village.</p><br>
<p>The village is not visible from far away, with the exception of the Monastery of Virgin Mary, which is built inside a large rock, on the side of the mountain and can be seen as you enter the plateau.</p><br>
<h2>Population</h2><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In a document from 1467, it was stated that the Fields of Kandila, (the Kandyliotikos Kampos) were farmed and had ample supply of water.</p><br>
<p>In 1777, following the Orlov events, many inhabitants of Kandila bearing the name "Sakkakos" (Σακκάκος) migrated to Koldere, near Magnesia (ad Sipylum).</p><br>
<p>In 1997, Kandila and all the surrounding communities were combined under the Kapodistrias law into one jurisdiction, to form the Municipality of Levidi.</p><br>
<p>The Merrill Lock No. 6 is the remnant of a historic lock and dam complex located along the Ohio River at Industry, Pennsylvania, United States. The remaining buildings, which now compose a restaurant, are together listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The dam was built at the community of Merrill (now a part of the borough of Industry), near the mouth of Raccoon Creek, as part of the process of canalization of the Ohio River. Construction began at the site on June 2, 1892, several years before many of Pennsylvania&#39;s other Ohio River dams were started. By late 1903, construction was virtually complete; only the lock gates remained to be placed, as well as the necessary buildings that were yet unfinished. Within a year, the gates had been added and the buildings completed. Operations began on August 3, 1904; the entire project had cost $1,123,441.80. The complex was named for William Emery Merrill, an officer of the United States Army Corps of Engineers who had been responsible for the earliest successful Ohio River dam in Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>Site profile</h2><br>
<p>Lock No. 6 itself was a concrete structure, 600 feet by 110 feet (180 m by 33 m); its first gates were built of pine wood, but steel gates were eventually put in their place. It lay at the northern end of the dam, which had a 600 ft spillway and included a weir and two other locks. The three buildings on the site were a three-story powerhouse (measuring about sixty feet/18 m square), which contained the machinery to operate the lock, and with two identical -story residences for the lock master and for the crew that worked at the site. All three buildings were built of brick on a concrete foundation and roofed with slate.</p><br>
<p>Only one modification to the site was made during the lock&#39;s operational years. In the early 1920s, the engines in the powerhouse were converted from coal-burning to oil-burning; this was a purely interior change and had no effect on the exterior of the building.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>After the construction of the Montgomery Lock and Dam downstream in 1936, the Merrill Lock and Dam ceased to operate. It was recognized for its historical integrity on September 4, 1980, when the buildings, all brick Romanesque structures, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places. By this time, the buildings had been abandoned for nearly 45 years, but they still remained in their original places and in virtually original condition—a status unequalled by any comparable site. After a period of reconstruction, the powerhouse was opened in early 2000 as a restaurant, the Lock 6 Landing. Its position along the riverside enables the restaurant to operate a marina for passing boaters. The lock master&#39;s residence, located downstream of the powerhouse, was removed at some point after the property was listed on the Register.</p><br>
<p>The Seely/Wright House is a historic house on West Main Street in Oyster Bay, New York. The house was built in 1830 by Dr. Ebeneezer Seely who married Phebe Townsend in 1808. Phebe was daughter of noted Oyster Bay resident Samuel Townsend, who for more than thirty years served as a magistrate and member of the provincial congress of 1774-1777 that framed the constitution of New York State. A legend persists that President Martin Van Buren was once entertained here. Today the house is a Town of Oyster Bay Landmark and a featured site on the Oyster Bay History Walk audio walking tour.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This house, which has been called both the Seeley House and the Wright House, is situated right across the street from Raynham Hall with good reason. It was built in 1830 for Dr. Ebenezer Seely, who had married Phebe Townsend in 1808. Phebe was born and raised in Raynham Hall and lived much of her adult life there as well. She was the youngest daughter of Samuel Townsend and Sarah Townsend and was only 15 years old when the commander of the Queen&#39;s Rangers occupied her home during the Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>She married Dr. Seely quite late in life when she was 45 and he was 26, almost 20 years her junior. During his life Dr. Seely, besides being a physician, was also a prominent businessman and public official, serving as Town Supervisor of Oyster Bay, School Commissioner, School Inspector, and moderator at many town meetings.</p><br>
<p>An interesting legend persists that Dr. Seely knew President Martin Van Buren, and that the 8th President of the United States was once entertained here.</p><br>
<p>His wife Phebe only lived in this house for 11 years. She died in 1841 at age 78, and was buried in the Townsend Cemetery on Fort Hill which you can also visit on this tour. Dr. Seely married Rebecca Summers the following year, who was, coincidentally, 20 years his junior. Their daughter Catharine Seely married Joseph B. Wright, a blacksmith, and members of the Wright family lived here for many years after that.</p><br>
<p>Today this building is featured on the Oyster Bay History Walk, an audio walking tour produced by the nonprofit Oyster Bay Main Street Association.</p><br>
<p>No history of Oyster Bay would be complete without mention of the Wright family, often called the "first family" of Oyster Bay. In 1653 Captain John Dickerson sailed the sloop Desire to Oyster Bay with Peter Wright, Samuel Mayo and William Levering who negotiated the purchase of the "Town Spot" from the Matinecock Indians. This "Town Spot" is the land which includes most of the Hamlet of Oyster Bay. Although Europeans had settled here before that date, it is this first land purchase in 1653 which is often referred to as the "founding of Oyster Bay."</p><br>
<p>The Wright family also occupied a beautiful house which still stands on West Main Street, the earliest portions of which William Wright built in 1705. Another Wright house, the Job Wright House, circa 1667, used to stand on South Street, and was for many years the oldest house in Oyster Bay. In 1948 this building, which had stood for over 280 years, was torn down to make way for the entrance to a parking lot.</p><br>
<p>Entranceways at Main Street at Lamarck Drive and Smallwood Drive are a set of complementary residential subdivision stone entranceways built in 1926. They are located on Main Street  in the hamlet of Snyder, New York within the town of Amherst, which is located in Erie County. These entranceways are markers representing the American suburbanization of rural areas through land development associated with transportation on the edges of urban developments. The Smallwood entranceway is a pair of symmetric groupings of stone gatehouses and posts flanking the two sides of the drive at Main Street. The Lamarck entranceway is a pair of Y-shaped and U-shaped stone half-walls flanking the two sides of the drive at Main Street. The entranceways were added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2005.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Williamsville developed around a mill that was erected in 1811 and the town of Amherst was born in 1818. At that time Main Street served as the main link from Williamsville and Amherst to Buffalo. Main Street was displaced as "the unchallenged main artery of Amherst and Western New York" by the Erie Canal in 1825 and later by adjacent railroads. By 1866, Buffalo Street Railway Company built a street car system that ran on Main Street from Amherst to Buffalo. Daily stage coach service also began in 1866 along Main Street and continued until it was displaced by an electric trolley in 1893, the track ran 4.5 mi from Main and Bailey Avenue (USA Route 62 in New York) to the east with stops that included Entranceways at Main Street at Lamarck Drive and Smallwood Drive.</p><br>
<p>The early 20th century estate era gave way to the residential subdivision era. The subdivisions in suburban Buffalo took on an urban flavor along the area&#39;s main thoroughfares and paths of migration. Charles S. Burkhardt began Audubon Terrace on 400 acres north of Main Street in October 1919 on the Taylor and Satterfield Estates. In May 1923, Burkhardt began to create 585 lots south of Main Street extending to Wehrle Drive on the former Witmer Farm property.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Main Street is a four-lane road running east-west connecting Williamsville (the other side of Interstate 290 (I-290), known as the Youngman Expressway) to points westward such as the neighboring hamlet of Eggertsville and downtown Buffalo. The entranceways are located proximately to large residential lawns of surrounding houses in the 1920s-built subdivisions. From the junction with the I-290 heading west, the first intersection (after the adjacent Main Street and Kensington intersection) is a four-way light where it meets Lamarck Drive from the south and Smallwood Drive from the north. Both streets serve two way traffic. The entranceways sit on the four corners of this intersection.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Smallwood Drive</h3><br>
<p>Both of the Smallwood Drive groupings of stones on the north side of Main Street have dominant octagonal gatehouses built upon four pairs of stained heavy timber columns supported by quarry-faced random ashlar half-walls on cut stone chamfered bases. The bases flank Smallwood Drive&#39;s concrete parallel sidewalks run along through the centerline of the gatehouses. The Main Street sidewalk passes in front of the gatehouses. The columns are braced with heavy timber lintel on open sides supported by pegged heavy timber brackets that form a lancet-head arch. The structures are topped by steeply-pitched and flared standing seam copper roofs that have weathervanes that are located nearly two stories above the street land grading and that depict flying birds.</p><br>
<p>The Smallwood Drive gatehouse sides have tall and slightly tapered have quarry-faced random ashlar stone posts with chamfered corners on stone bases. These posts support flat cast capitals beneath wrought iron balustrades with filigreed corners. The structures still host original hexagonal metal and glass light fixtures that hang from metal brackets on the Smallwood Drive post faces. The pair of groupings has Tudor Revival architectural influences.</p><br>
<h3>Lamarck Drive</h3><br>
<p>Both of the Lamarck Drive groupings of stones on the south side of Main Street are composed of a pair of symmetric stone structures flanking the drive. Each stone grouping features a tall capped, stone post topped by a large cut metal pictorial sign. The posts have flanking stone Y-shaped half-walls parallel to the drive. These half-walls have corresponding block U-shaped half-walls that along with the Y-shaped half-walls jointly form a square through which new concrete sidewalks run along Lamarck Drive. The design also has Tudor Revival influences in concert with the surrounding residences.</p><br>
<p>The posts have 4 x bases and stand 12 ft in height, while the half walls stand approximately 4 ft. Both structures are made of quarry-faced random ashlar limestone on a cut and smooth finished chamfer stone base. The posts have chamfered edges. The posts include randomly located tan- and brown-colored granite blocks. Similar blocks are at the top and midpoints of the half-walls. The half-walls are coped with recently installed rectangular cut and finished stone slabs that have rough cut edges protruding over the half-walls. An octagonal pyramid of three sequentially smaller cast concrete courses with slightly flared edges cap the posts. The Main Street post faces have the original hexagonal metal and glass light fixtures hanging from metal hooks, while only the hooks remain on the Lamarck faces.</p><br>
<p>Atop the posts are signs of painted metal panels with silhouette depictions braced below by filigree metal brackets. The signs are 11 ft in length and 3.5 ft in height. They neither match nor mirror each other. The west sign depicts a Native American domestic scene including trees, teepees, a camp fire with trestle, and figures carrying a deer from a pole. The east sign depicts Tudor Revival architecture. Christ the King Church is located at 30 Lamarck Drive at Main Street on the southeastern corner. The other three corners are residential addresses.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The entryways remain in their original location, retain original design, setting, and materials. The entranceways continue to serve their original functions of marking the vehicular and pedestrian entrance to the subdivision. The eastern Smallwood Drive entrance provides shelter for Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority Metro Bus riders heading west toward the Buffalo Metro Rail and downtown Buffalo, New York. The residential dwellings adjacent to the entrances are original and the setting has had no known changes since the widening of Main Street in the 1920s. Charles S. Burkhardt purchased the land for the Audubon Terrace (Smallwood side) and Audubon Terrace South (Lamarck side) subdivisions that these entranceways have marked since their 1926 construction. The entranceways are in fair condition despite perceptible light fixture changes and shoddy repairs. Trayfield Corporation, which has little known history, is the builder of the circa 1925 shelter entranceways and subdivision according to what is known about them.</p><br>
<p>These entranceways are significant as relatively rare structures associated with the transformation of the formerly rural Town of Amherst into a residential suburban Buffalo community known as the hamlet of Snyder. They represent the American suburbanization of rural areas through land development associated with transportation on the edges of urban developments. They are symbolic of the marketed character of the residential developments as a desirable residential alternative to urban life. The entranceways were added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2005.</p><br>
<p>District No. 28 School is a school building in the city of Ramsey, Minnesota, United States, just north of Anoka. The school is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was originally a school house, but later became the town hall. The building is one of only a few structures remaining from the beginnings of the township.</p><br>
<p>The comprehensive plan for Ramsey&#39;s development, developed in late 2008, views the old town hall as a metaphor for the community: "A small, aging brick building stands like a question mark between a day-care center and a bank. A weathered sign identifies it as the Ramsey Town Hall. Although no longer used, this structure personifies Ramsey today. It asserts the key issue is not if Ramsey should grow, but how it will it develop."</p><br>
<p>The city of Ramsey has been exploring options for the old town hall. One option would be to use it as community space and/or a historical center. Another option would be to lease out the space to a nearby business as additional office or meeting space. The third option would be to move the building from its current location to a new location in a city park and to use it as community space and/or a historical center. Under all three options under discussion, the renovation would be completed. However, moving the building would most likely cause it to lose its status as a historical site.</p><br>
<p>The Rock of Oëtre  is situated in the middle of Norman Switzerland, in the commune of Saint-Philbert-sur-Orne, not far from the border between the départements of Calvados and Orne, and almost equidistant from Thury-Harcourt and Écouché. It is one of the most prestigious lookouts in the west of France.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The reputation of this precipice is founded on its breathtaking sheer drop: 118 m. Neither tourists nor locals expect this kind of natural feature in Normandy. It is considered the most mountainous part of the region, even though not the highest, and it has become, over time, one of the main attractions in Normandy. It is also a popular lookout that gives a broad survey of the wooded groves of the Rouvre, the fast-flowing river in the valley, which can be reached by steps hewn from the rock. The natural surroundings are full with granite rocks, ravines, heath and thicket. Many visitors come to find a calm place for their contemplation and meditation.</p><br>
<p>On arriving at the summit of the Rock, facing the precipice, one must advance 15 m or 20 m, to see, on the left, the peculiar feature of the site: the resemblance of a human face in profile. This figure has been characterised as being many different people. One can argue whether it is the rock that forged the character of people over generations, or conversely if the people came to permeate it with the spirit of their nature. The surrounding area served as a natural hiding place for outlaws of all kinds: the "Fairy&#39;s Cave" was one of the most secure hiding places for Chouans and highwaymen.</p><br>
<p>The rock stands proud proof that the Basse-Normandie region is Armorican, at least in its western half. The Armorican Massif does not stop at the border with Brittany, the neighbouring region, but extends to the départment of Manche, south-west of Calvados and west of Orne. Norman Switzerland is at the eastern end of the Armorican Massif, with the Rock at its centre.</p><br>
<h2>Natural history</h2><br>
<p>Thanks to the environmental awareness of the Orne département, the Rock of Oëtre harbours numerous species of plants and animals rare in France: the spring spergula or spurrey (small white flower), the European green lizard and many species of lichen. These are very prone to being trampled, so visitors should keep to the marked trails.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>At the site&#39;s summit, around 35 m from the edge, a new wooden pavilion was opened in May 2006. It offers visitors regional tourist information, a museum, library and shop, and a bar-restaurant. The museum space will be used to let visitors discover the Mountains of Normandy with an interactive landscape, legends and items about the long geological history of the oldest mountains in Europe, the Armorican Massif, from how, two thousand million years ago, they were more than 5 km above sea level, to their present 417 m.</p><br>
<p>Richland-Chambers Reservoir is the third largest inland reservoir by surface area and the 8th largest reservoir by water volume in Texas formed by the impoundment of Richland Creek and Chambers Creek east-southeast of the town of Corsicana and south of Kerens, in Navarro County and Freestone County, Texas, USA. It has 330 mi of shoreline and is "Y" shaped with the dam on the eastern end of the lake.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Due to a drought in 1956-1957 plans were made by the Tarrant Regional Water District to build the Richland-Chambers Reservoir with the purpose of being a public water source for Tarrant County. The plan called for a reservoir to be built along with a pipeline between Richland-Chambers and Lake Benbrook. However, no actions were taken until October 1, 1979 when the water district issued $342.75 million in revenue bonds for construction.</p><br>
<p>The project was designed and engineered by Freese and Nichols, Consulting Engineers, of Fort Worth, Texas. Construction began on October 7, 1982. The dam was closed on Richland-Chambers Reservoir July 1987 and filled by May 1989. On November 12, 1988 the Richland-Chambers pipeline became operational.</p><br>
<p>In January 1990 seepage and high uplift pressures were detected by TRWD at the south abutment of the spillway. Remediation measures included installation of numerous internal drains, inclinometers, extensometers, and piezometers throughout the spillway and</p><br>
<p>abutments. By the end of 1995 total downstream movement had reached 0.6 inch, and a period of monitoring was begun. The movement has stabilized and the total deflection is now 0.8 inch.</p><br>
<p>In 1999 a wetlands project was launched for the purpose of reusing Trinity River water by filtering a portion of the river through wetlands and then into the Richland-Chambers Reservoir. Initially a demonstration project, this has proved successful and is moving into a larger 2,000 acre phase. Due to this additional water, plans are in place to build an additional pipeline between the reservoir and Tarrant County.</p><br>
<p>In approximately 2009 the dam nearly collapsed due to subsidence in the location where the dam makes a sharp right angle to accommodate the intersection of US287 and TX488.</p><br>
<h2>Water rights</h2><br>
<p>The reservoir was built by the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) who retains most of the water rights. TRWD is a water wholesaler to 11 counties in Texas. This water is pumped from Richland-Chambers via a 90 in pipeline to balancing reservoirs and on to Lake Benbrook for storage before moving to the water treatment plants or Eagle Mountain Lake.</p><br>
<p>The City of Corsicana holds the rights to 32,807 acre.ft of water each year with the option to purchase more. This water is not currently being drawn but a pipeline is being built (2008) to Corsicana for that purpose.</p><br>
<h2>Real Estate</h2><br>
<p>Real estate on the lake is made up of many houses and a partially developed condominium, Northshore Harbor. Richland Chambers is a quiet and mature waterfront community located near Dallas, TX. This makes the perfect location for real estate giving you all of the amenities of the big city within less than half an hour of drive time!</p><br>
<h2>Fish and plant life</h2><br>
<p>Predominant fish species on Richland-Chambers Reservoir include:</p><br>
<p>White & hybrid striped bass</p><br>
<p>Blue & channel catfish</p><br>
<p>Largemouth bass</p><br>
<p>Crappie</p><br>
<p>Smallmouth buffalo</p><br>
<p>Carp</p><br>
<p>The lake has been stocked with Coppernose bluegill, Florida bass, channel catfish and blue catfish. In the first decade, the lake was noted for largemouth bass tournaments, with typical stringers of 35 lbs. Over the last decade, multiple droughts have diminished the stringer catch to about 25 lbs. The lake is no longer considered as a top bass fishing lake.</p><br>
<p>The old Trinity River levee forms a crescent-shaped underwater structure between the confluence of the Richland and Chambers creek arms and the dam and is good for fishing.</p><br>
<h2>Recreational uses</h2><br>
<p>Although its primary purpose is as a water supply reservoir, Richland-Chambers Reservoir is a venue for outdoor recreation, including fishing, boating, and swimming. As it&#39;s still a relatively new lake, the traffic level is low and land for lakeside housing is plentiful. The Harbor Inn Restaurant & Club, sitting on the banks of the lake adjacent to Northshore Harbor Condominiums, provide a restaurant and bar for visitors of the lake. There are a number of sites to launch boats.</p><br>

<p>The Roe River is a river in the Kimberley of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>The headwaters of the river lie in the Princess May Ranges within the Prince Regent National Park flowing in a north westerly direction, discharging into Prince Frederick Harbour in York Sound, and then to the Indian Ocean. The river contains several permanent pools, including Paradise Pool where many examples of ancient indigenous art known as Bradshaw paintings are found along the cliff faces. Bradshaw paintings are dated at a minimum of 17,000 years before present.</p><br>
<p>Tributaries include the Moran River, Garimbu Creek, Wyulda Creek, Rufous Creek and Gandjal Creek.</p><br>
<p>The river was named in 1820 by Philip Parker King after the father of master&#39;s mate John Septimus Roe during his voyage in Mermaid; he also named Prince Frederick Harbour, Prince Regent River and the nearby Mount Trafalgar during the same visit.</p><br>
<p>The first European to trace the Roe from its source to its outflow in Prince Frederick Harbour was government surveyor Frederick Slade Drake-Brockman in 1901.</p><br>
<p>The Carson River is a river in the Kimberley of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>The headwaters of the river rise at the base of the Foster Range near the southwestern edge of the Drysdale River National Park. The river flows in a northerly direction along the Carson Escarpment and discharges into the King Edward River near Aragoon, about 12 km south of Kalumburu.</p><br>
<p>The river has four tributaries, including Morgan River, Swida Creek and Pronga-Marie Creek. The river was named in 1886 by the explorer Charles Burrowes while surveying the area for the Victoria Squatting Company. He named it after a director of the company, David Carson.</p><br>
<p>The river contains several permanent pools where examples of Indigenous Australian art known as Bradshaw paintings can be found along the cliff faces.</p><br>
<p>The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the Wilawila, Miwa and Wunambal peoples.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Nicholas in Withycombe, Somerset, England dates from the 13th century and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The tower was built in the 14th century, although there is some stonework in the north wall which dates from the 12th century and was part of an earlier building. The nave was refenestrated in the 15th century. The tower was repaired in the early 19th century when the gallery was also moved. Further restoration was carried out in the 1850s, when oil lighting was installed and further restored and re-roofed 1912 to 1913. The vestry was extended and the west end gallery removed 1934-1936.</p><br>
<p>Hidden in a wall recess is a figure of an unknown man with long hair and a hat, which is one of the earliest church monuments to include a hat. He is carrying a heartcase to show he died elsewhere and only his heart was brought to the church for burial.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the benefice of Dunster, Carhampton, Withycombe with Roduish, Timberscombe and Wootton Courtenay within the Exmoor deanery.</p><br>
<p>Crowcombe Court in Crowcombe, Somerset, England is a large country house dating from 1724–39. It is Grade I listed.</p><br>
<p>It was built, in English regional baroque style, by Thomas Parker, for Thomas Carew, and finished by Nathaniel Ireson of Wincanton, after Carew found that Parker had taken old coins, found while demolishing the old house. Minor alterations were carried out by Edward Middleton Barry around 1870.</p><br>
<p>The house has amber coloured bricks complemented by Bath stone pilasters and frontispiece. The interior includes plasterwork by Grinling Gibbons. The house was described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "the finest house of its date in Somerset south of the Bath area".</p><br>
<p>It has previously been used as a nursing home and today the Court is hired out for weddings and other functions.</p><br>
<p>The new owners of the house David and Kate Kenyon purchased the property in 2011. Kate is a direct descendant of James Morrison.</p><br>
<p>The gardens and parkland are listed, Grade II, on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England.</p><br>
<p>Bratton Court in the hamlet of Bratton within the parish of Minehead Without, Somerset, England was built as a manor house, with a 14th-century open hall and 15th-century solar hall. It is within the Exmoor National Park and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. It was enlarged in the 17th century and extensively altered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is now a farmhouse divided into 2 dwellings. The gatehouse and the barn at the west end of the courtyard date from the fifteenth century and are also listed as Grade I buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Bratton Court was built as a manor house in the fourteenth century, when the open hall was constructed, and fifteenth century when the solar hall was added. Further additions were made in the seventeenth century and considerable alterations were made in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It has a T-shaped plan and is built of rubble stone, now rendered, with slate roofs, large stone chimney stack to the left of the entrance and a smaller one to the right. The main block is two storeys high with nineteenth century casement windows. It is a three cell unit with an open hall, with one bay to the left of the wooden entrance porch and two bays to the right. A cross passage is orientated north and south, and there is a solar wing to the east; this wing was at one time thought to have been the chapel but is now recognised as the solar. It has a featureless ground floor while the first floor has three pairs of jointed cruck trusses, one of which is fully arch braced. There is a chamfered pointed arched opening in the east gable wall, another opening to the left, and a chamfered lintel over the fireplace.</p><br>
<p>The stone mullion windows are irregularly arranged; some have trefoil heads with pierced spandrels showing a foliage design while others have cusped heads. On the rear of the building beside the archway is a single storey, slated roof extension with a chimney stack which houses a bread oven. The interior of the house has been much altered, but there is the remains of an aisle post near the entrance, forming the jam of a door-frame that once separated the servants quarters, and another, octagonal aisle post with splayed plinth and four curved braces at the south end of the house. The upper storey has seven pairs of arch braced collar beam trusses which are smoke-blackened in the roof space.</p><br>
<p>Bratton Court was designated as a Grade I listed building on 22 May 1969. At the time of listing, the building was in use as a farmhouse and had been divided into two dwellings. The associated gatehouse and barn which abut the west end of the court date from the fifteenth century and are also designated as Grade I buildings.</p><br>
<p>In 2002 a planning application was submitted to convert the stables into a cafe, craft centre, smokery and offices.</p><br>
<p>The Courthouse of Crawford County, Ohio, is a landmark of the county seat, Bucyrus, Ohio. The courthouse was built in 1854 on East Mansfield Street by architect Harlan Jones and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 1985-02-28 as a part of the Bucyrus Commercial Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Crawford County was established in 1820 but the issue of a county seat was not resolved for 10 years. The county was divided between the northern population, favoring Crawford and the southern citizens who favored Bucyrus. The first county building, the jailhouse was built in 1827. The issues dragged on until the election of 1830, when the commissioners selected Bucyrus to be the temporary county seat. During much exhausting campaigning, it was decided to allow the county seat to remain in Bucyrus.</p><br>
<p>The first courthouse was designed by Colonel James Kilbourne and was completed in 1832 and accepted by the county in 1833. The two-story brick building resembled the Ohio Statehouse with a flat roof and a central cupola. The entire facade was painted white to give it a more stately appearance. During construction a scaffolding collapsed killing two workers, the names of which are located in the location of their death. In 1837 the decision was made to place a bell in the cupola and the county purchased on for $100.</p><br>
<p>As the construction on the courthouse was finishing, the old county jail of 1827 burned down. The county did have enough funds to construct a new one and this project was placed on hold until 1839. The new jailhouse was located close to the courthouse. The soft brick used in construction allowed many prisoners to escape which led to the whole block being surrounded by a solid board fence.</p><br>
<p>The needs of the county were met until it was decided that a new courthouse was needed in the 1850s. The county chose the Greek Revival plans drafted by O.S. Kinney from Cleveland. The red brick building stood two-stories tall and was topped by a cupola of white oak which housed a 1,500 pound cast iron bell. On either side of the tower was a clock face, added in 1892. In 1895 a new bell was purchased and hung in the old tower. The front of the building contained a central door reached by a flight of stairs and framed by four wooden Doric columns.</p><br>
<p>The county was again in need of more room and decided on expanding the brick structure already standing. The idea was made to surround the brick building and to fix the weak points by remodeling them. The architect hired for this remodel was Harlan Jones of Mansfield. Extra room was provided by wings and in 1906 to 1908 a new stone-clad exterior was placed over the original brick front facade and the wooden columns were replaced with stone. A front portion was added and included a new courtroom. The roof was reinforced and a dome was added. The dome was placed over the courtroom for extra light and was made by Bryant Art Glass of Columbus.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse contains three floors and is made up of rusticated sandstone blocks. The bottom floor is partially underground and contains small square windows. The second and third floor windows are large rectangular windows, with the second floor windows capped by stone head casings.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance is located in a projected portico reached by a flight of steps. Six Corinthian columns support the entablature and pediment above. The doors are surmounted by a transom and sidelights with Ionic columns supporting a false balcony above.</p><br>
<p>The roof is surrounded by a balustrade with a central drum rising to an entablature. The tower continues to a four-faced clock with decorative iron-work, four Ionic columns support a pedimented roof. A circular drum with large rectangular windows rise to a dome, which in turn supports a small lantern.</p><br>
<p>Port de Sant Miguel is a small beach resort with a white sandy beach on the north west coast of Ibiza. This small settlement was once the fisherman’s port for the nearby village of Sant Miquel de Balansat. The resort is situated in a small sheltered inlet surrounded by steep cliffs which are topped with pine woodland and scrub. At the head of the cove is a small sandy beach. Behind the beach there are a number of shops, bars and restaurants. Beyond the commercial area and set on the side of the inlet there are several large hotels and apartment developments as well as some private residential property.</p><br>
<h2>Environment</h2><br>
<p>Steps leading up the cliffs from the beach offer good vantage points for photographers wanting shots of the bay. There are several large concrete hotels and apartment blocks including around the bay but a short walk to a cove called Cala des Multons shows how the area would have looked before these developments. The resort is home to the Cova de Can Marçà, a natural cave system once home to pirate smugglers.</p><br>
<h2>Hotels and accommodation</h2><br>
<p>Located on the eastern side of the narrow inlet of Puerto San Miguel, the Hotel San Miguel is part of the largest hotel in the area. The complex also includes the Hotel Galeon and the San Miguel Beach club. Built as part of the building boom of the late 1970s, this Hotel caters almost exclusively for package tour guest, many of who are on all inclusive holidays.</p><br>
<p>Delaware Avenue Historic District is a national historic district located at Buffalo, New York, United States, and Erie County. It is located along the west side of Delaware Avenue  between North Street to the South and Bryant Street to the North.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>When listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the district encompassed 17 contributing buildings and 1 contributing structure reflective of when Buffalo had more millionaires per capita than any city in America, and this was once Millionaires&#39; Mile. The mansions were built between about 1890 and World War I and reflect Renaissance Revival and Gothic Revival style architecture.</p><br>
<p>Notable buildings include:</p><br>
<p>The Westminster Presbyterian Church (1858)</p><br>
<p>The George and Charles Williams Houses (1894, 1896) by McKim, Mead & White</p><br>
<p>The Stephen M. Clement House (1913) by Edward Brodhead Green (now Greater Buffalo American Red Cross Building)</p><br>
<p>The Seymour Knox House (1915) by Charles Pierrepont Gilbert</p><br>
<p>The George Brewster Matthews House (1901)</p><br>
<p>The Thomas R. Lockwood House (1888)</p><br>
<p>The Buffalo Association for the Blind (1898) by Esenwein & Johnson</p><br>
<p>The Charles W. Goodyear House / Oracle Charter School (1903, formerly Bishop McMahon High School) by Edward Brodhead Green.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>First Parish Church is an historic church located within the Church Green Historic District in Taunton, Massachusetts. It is the fourth meetinghouse since 1647 to be located on what was the original town common. The current church building was built in 1830, constructed of field stone in the Gothic Revival style.</p><br>
<p>The church steeple is capped with four pinnacles and contains the 1804 bell from the third meetinghouse. In 1869 the sanctuary was enlarged and a chapel was also added. In 1965 another addition was made to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Parish history</h2><br>
<p>The First Parish was established in 1637 by a group of Puritans from Devonshire, England, led by Elizabeth Pole, by way of Dorchester, Massachusetts. In 1640, they renamed the new settlement after Taunton, England. The First Parish was the first church to be established in what would become Bristol County, Massachusetts, and only the fifth church to be established within Plymouth Colony.</p><br>
<p>The first two meetinghouses built on Church Green also served as the location for civic and political business until 1746. The third church was built in 1794, and was designed by noted architect Charles Bulfinch.</p><br>
<p>The parish is now a Unitarian-Universalist congregation.</p><br>
<p>The church has a Tiffany stained glass window.</p><br>
<p>The Court House in East Quantoxhead, Somerset, England has a medieval tower and other parts of the building which date from the 17th century. It has been designated as a grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The manor has been held by the Luttrell family, who also owned Dunster Castle, since they acquired it around 1070. Only a tower survives from the medieval manor house which was built around 1400 to replace the one constructed in 1273. Most of the current building was added in the 1620s by George Luttrell and his wife Silvestra Capps. It was then used as a farmhouse until the 20th century when the latest descendents of the Luttrell line lived in it again.</p><br>
<p>The house includes a hall and gallery with a large kitchen area. The interior of the house is noted for plasterwork friezes. Surrounding the house are gardens of 5 acre with 3 acre of woodland.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It has been owned by the Luttrell family, who also owned Dunster Castle, for many generations since they acquired it around 1070.</p><br>
<p>The original manor house was constructed around 1273, adjacent to the Church of St Mary. The only remaining section of the medieval house is the four-storey tower with battlements which was dated in a survey during 2003 by Historic England as coming from the late 14th or early 15th century. The rest of the current building was constructed in the 17th century.</p><br>
<p>By the time George Luttrell inherited Dunster castle in 1571, it was dilapidated, with the family preferring to live at Court House. In the 1620s George Luttrell&#39;s first wife and mother of his twelve children died. He remarried to Silvestra Capps who persuaded him to expand the existing building with the addition of the south west wing and new porch. The expansion and improvements which left the house largely in the form it exists today were completed by 1628. After Capps death in 1655 the house was leased as a farmhouse, and although some minor damage was done during the next few hundred years when it was used as a granary the only structural alteration was the addition of a door at wagon level to enable loading and unloading. In the 1860s quarter sessions were held at the house and it has been known as Court House ever since.</p><br>
<p>In the 20th century the house was returned to residential use and occupied by Lieutenant colonel G.W. Luttrell and his wife. The building was refurbished with masonry repairs and lead re-roofing in 2011 and 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The two-storey house is laid out around a courtyard. The front of the building is Jacobean with the main entry being the two storey porch. The main hall has a gallery above reached via a tudor oak staircase. The kitchen includes two fireplaces one of which is 12 ft wide and could be used to roast a whole cow. The outer kitchen was used for cider making and contained a large apple press. A small room off the kitchen was used as a cell for drunks awaiting sentence in the court.</p><br>
<p>The base of the tower includes a court for Cockfights. and other "sporting" memoriabilia in the house includes oak staves used for glatting to catch Conger eels with dogs on the nearby beach at Kilve.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house is noted for plasterwork friezes. In the hall the fireplace mantel, which dates from 1629, bears the Luttrell coat of arms with soldiers on either side. It was created by two Flemish workers brought in by George Luttrell. They and their descendants stayed in West Somerset and are responsible for the plasterwork in all the great houses in the area, including Court House and Dunster Castle. In most of the rooms of the house the friezes depict biblical scenes. In the drawing room is a representation of Christ with the children, the north bedroom has Christs entry into Jerusalem, another room depicts Christs descent from the cross. The scenes are taken from a book Vita, Passio, et Resurrection Jesu Christi published in Antwerp in 1566.</p><br>
<h2>Gardens</h2><br>
<p>The gardens cover an area of 5 acre with 3 acre of woodland. The current gardens were laid out in the 1950s, using acidic soil to create a Cornish garden with camellias, rhododendrons, magnolias and pale-flowered hydrangeas, herbaceous borders and a traditional kitchen garden.</p><br>
<p>Edgemoor Farm Dairy Farm was built as part of a dairy farm in 1913 in Santee, California. Edgemoor was part of a Spanish land grant to Maria Antonio Estudillo who married Miguel de Pedrorena, a native of Madrid. By the 1850s, through a variety of ways, individuals obtained portions of the grant and began to farm. Walter Hamlin Dupee purchased Edgemoor Farm in 1913 and built it into a national award-winning dairy farm, polo pony ranch and early tourist attraction.</p><br>
<p>Such was his prominence that the Guernsey Breeders Association in 1921 called his place "the foremost authority and breeder in the USA", having given the most grand champions at this ranch founded by John and Walter Dupee. Dupee said, "I am interested in pure breeding stock, modern equipment, and scientific methods, which I place at the disposal of all dairymen". A series of personal setbacks and problems brought Dupee to sell Edgemoor to Godfrey L. Strobeck.</p><br>
<h2>As a home for the aged and indigent</h2><br>
<p>Following Edgemoor&#39;s glory days as a commercial dairy, the County of San Diego purchased the property from Godfrey L. Strobeck for use as a "last resort" home for the aged and indigent in 1923. It was one of the last poor farms (or farm homes) established in the United States prior to the Great Depression and the introduction of Social Security. By the mid-1920s the Edgemoor cared for 520 people. Throughout the years the County added new buildings; in 1950 apartments and wards were added. In 1953 the County of San Diego discontinued the farm, dairy operations and planned renovation of the barn. Two years later the place name was changed to Edgemoor Geriatric Hospital.</p><br>
<h2>As a geriatric hospital</h2><br>
<p>Other buildings were demolished in 1957, 1959, 1960 and 1966, and a new hospital building was erected in 1966. The former milking barns were converted to living quarters. All of the original buildings of the Edgemoor Farm, including the Williamson Ranch House and the Dupee Ranch House are gone. Other early structures, such as the pony stables and milking barns, are either gone or irretrievably remodeled for other purposes. Only one building of the Dupee era remained: the Dutch gambrel roof barn, built in 1913.</p><br>
<p>A series of financial problems, facility issues, and basic care of patients, led to the decision to close Edgemoor Geriatric Hospital. The closure would facilitate the building of a new Edgemoor Hospital capable of caring for future generations of patients. The new facility opened January 23, 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Historic Registered Site</h2><br>
<p>On April 17, 1985 a formal Nomination was sent to the National Park Service, to register the Santee Barn as a historic site. On May 16, 1986 The Santee Barn was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In the following years the Barn&#39;s address was changed from 9064 Edgemoor Drive to its current address at 9200 N. Magnolia Ave.</p><br>
<h2>Santee Historical Society Museum</h2><br>
<p>Through the assistance of charitable donations, the Santee Barn is currently an active museum and houses the office of the Santee Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>Entranceway at Main Street at Roycroft Boulevard is a suburban residential subdivision entranceway built in 1918. It is on Main Street  in the hamlet of Snyder, New York, in the town of Amherst within Erie County. The entranceway is a marker that represents the American suburbanization of rural areas, suburbanization that occurred through transportation-related land development on the edges of urban areas. It consists of a variety of half-height wall formations, featuring a semicircular wall on the Roycroft Boulevard median&#39;s intersection with Main Street. The entranceway was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2005.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Williamsville developed around a mill erected in 1811, and the town of Amherst was born in 1818. At that time, Main Street was the main link from Williamsville and Amherst to Buffalo. Main Street was displaced as "the unchallenged main artery of Amherst and Western New York" by the Erie Canal in 1825 and later by adjacent railroads. By 1866, Buffalo Street Railway Company built a street car system that ran on Main Street from Amherst to Buffalo. Daily stage coach service also began in 1866 along Main Street and continued until it was displaced by an electric trolley in 1893, the track ran 4.5 mi from Main and Bailey Avenue (USA Route 62 in New York) to the east with stops that included Entranceways at Main Street at Lamarck Drive and Smallwood Drive.</p><br>
<p>The early 20th century estate era gave way to the residential subdivision era. Suburban Buffalos subdivisions took on an urban flavor along the areas main thoroughfares and paths of migration. Charles S. Burkhardt began Audubon Terrace on 400 acres north of Main Street in October 1919 on the Taylor and Satterfield Estates.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Today, Main Street is a four-lane road running east-west through Snyder connecting Williamsville (the other side of Interstate 290, known as the Youngman Expressway) to points westward such as the neighboring hamlet of Eggertsville and downtown Buffalo. The entranceway is located proximate to large residential areas of trees and grass, 1920s-built subdivisions flanking a wide central median. It is situated three blocks east of Harlem Road (New York State Route 240). Across Main Street and northeast from the Entranceway is the Eggertsville-Snyder Branch Library of the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library located at 4622 Main Street. Each side of the median serves one-way traffic. The entranceways sit on the two south side corners of this T-junction intersection.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Completed in 1918, the entranceways featured element is the nearly semi-circular random ashlar stone half-walls on Roycroft Boulevards axis of symmetry, which is at a 22 degree angle to Main Street. The wall has one central and two end square posts that are approximately 4 ft in height and that have poured concrete caps that are not original. Each post has a metal and glass contemporary street lamp projecting from its center. Quarter points of the arc have stone pilaster ornamentation. The running portion of the wall has a continuous cast in place coping cap shaped at a 45 degree angle, which forms an attached buttress three quarters the height of the posts. Past repairs have included incompatible stone and mortar patches. The Main Street paving and the grassy median abut the convex and concave sides, respectively. According to the August 5, 2005, application, the entranceway is in a state of disrepair, lacking a visible base and having a tilt.</p><br>
<p>On opposite sides of the Roycroft Boulevard roadways from the central feature are flanking structures with random ashlar stone posts and half-height walls. They are oriented parallel to the angular Roycroft Boulevard and have lengths proportionate to the central wall end post&#39;s distance from Main Street. Both walls are L-shaped with the longer length extending along Roycroft Boulevard and having a short cornered length along Main Street. These walls have capped, square stone buttress-less posts and corners marked by wall-height stone pilaster. On the opposite side of each from the a concrete sidewalk parallel to Roycroft Boulevard is a free-standing stone post. The west side is in fair condition, while the east side is out of vertical alignment and is in poor condition. The east side has the distinction of retaining the only original cast concrete cap with a circular recess on its north end post. It presumably once held an original lamp post and was once painted white. Its south end post has a four-piece, white terra cotta cap resembling the other non-original end posts in the set of structures.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The entryways remain in their original location, retain original design, and setting. They continue to mark the entrance to the subdivision&#39;s entrance for vehicular and pedestrian traffic as they were originally designed to do. Abbott and Beymer Land Co. purchased the land for the Aurora Park subdivision that the entranceway has marked since its 1918 construction. The street and plot plan were designed by the Straley Brothers, who were civil engineers and surveyors from Buffalo. County engineer, George C. Diehl, had a role in the development of this subdivision. The entranceway was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Priory Church of St George in Dunster, Somerset, England, is predominantly 15th-century with evidence of 12th- and 13th-century work. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was started by William de Moyon during the 11th century.</p><br>
<p>The tower was built by Jon Marys of Stogursey who received a contract from the parish in 1442. He was paid 13s 4d for each foot in height and £1 for the pinnacles. The work was completed in three years. Aisles were added in 1504.</p><br>
<p>The church was shared for worship between the monks of Dunster Priory and the parishioners, however this led to several conflicts between them. One outcome was the carved rood screen which divided the church in two with the parish using the west chancel and the monks the east.</p><br>
<p>It was restored in 1875–77 by George Edmund Street. The church has a cruciform plan with a central four-stage tower, built in 1443 with diagonal buttresses, a stair turret and single bell-chamber windows.</p><br>
<p>Preston Peak , is a dominant feature of the Siskiyou Wilderness in the Klamath National Forest. Many peaks in the wilderness rise to over 6,000 ft but none come to within 500 ft of approaching the height of Preston Peak. From the summit on a clear day, the Pacific Ocean is visible along with peaks in the Klamath Mountains and Cascade Range.</p><br>
<p>John Hart, in his book Hiking the Bigfoot Country says of the peak:</p><br>
<p>Designation</p><br>
<p>The Forest Service designated the peak and watershed around the peak the Preston Peak Botanical and Geological Area because of the rare plants and associations of plants that can be found. Here the Alaska cedar and noble fir reach the southern terminus of their range</p><br>
<p>and share habitat with the northwest California endemic Brewer spruce and Port Orford cedar. There is also an interesting population of high elevation Pacific yew on the peak that, along with a few other population in the Klamath Mountains, may justify reclassification as at least a subspecies.</p><br>
<p>A few other rare plants living on or around the peak are the phantom orchid and Siskiyou fritillary.</p><br>
<p>The Yarn Market in Dunster, Somerset, England was built in the early 17th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building and scheduled monument. Dunster was an important market place in the Middle Ages particularly following the construction of Dunster Castle and the establishment of the Priory Church of St George.</p><br>
<p>The market cross was probably built in 1609 by the Luttrell family who were the local lords of the manor to maintain the importance of the village as a market, particularly for wool and cloth. It still bears the damage caused by cannon fire in the Civil War. Nearby was an older cross known as the Butter Cross which has subsequently been moved to the outskirts of the village. The Yarn Market is an octagonal building constructed around a central pier. The tiled roof provides shelter from the rain.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dunster Castle stands on a site which has been fortified since the late Anglo-Saxon period, signifying the importance of the area. After the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century, William de Mohun constructed a timber castle on the site as part of the pacification of Somerset.</p><br>
<p>A stone shell keep was built on the motte by the start of the 12th century, and the castle survived a siege during the early years of the Anarchy. At the end of the 14th century the de Mohuns sold the castle to the Luttrell family.</p><br>
<p>Dunster had become a centre for woollen and clothing production by the 13th century, with the market dating back to at least 1222, and a particular kind of kersey or broadcloth became known as Dunsters. The prosperity of Dunster was based on the wool trade, with profits helping to pay for the construction of the tower of the Priory Church of St George and provide other amenities. By the 15th century the importance of the town was declining particularly due to the silting up of the harbour. The Luttrell&#39;s wanted to maintain the importance as a market and in 1609 George Luttrell, of the Luttrell family constructed the market to shelter traders and their wares from the rain and provide more security for their wares. The exact date of construction is debated and a variety of dates are given in different sources, however 1609 is considered the most likely.</p><br>
<p>A second market cross, known as the Butter Cross, which was built in the 15th century used to stand near the Yarn Market but was moved to the outskirts of the village in the 18th or 19th centuries. The Yarn Market is in the guardianship of English Heritage but is managed by the National Trust. In 1951 the Ministry of Works took over various properties including the Yarn Market from the Crown Estate. They carried out restoration works, however this was controversial as the shape of the roof was changed to more closely resemble the appearance of the original building, rather than that produced by subsequent revisions.</p><br>

<p>The octagonal building, which is 9.4 m in diameter, has a central stone pier which supports a heavy timber framework for the structure. The slate roof has a central wooden lantern topped by a weather vane. The roof is interrupted by a series of dormer windows. Around the periphery is a low wall and vertical timber supports. Some of the sills are stone and others timber.</p><br>
<p>One of the roof beams has a hole in it, a result of cannon fire in the Civil War, when Dunster Castle was a besieged Royalist stronghold for five months under the command of Colonel Wyndham. Following the damage, it was restored in 1647 to its present condition by Francis Luttrell.</p><br>
<p>Normanton Down is a Neolithic and Bronze Age barrow cemetery located about 0.6 mi south of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. The burials date from between 2600 and 1600 BC and consist of a Neolithic long barrow and some 40 or more Bronze Age round barrows, sited along the crest of a low ridge.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>The barrows of Normanton Down, visible from Stonehenge along the southern horizon, have been part of the scenery of Salisbury Plain since 2000 BC. Barrow excavation was a popular hobby in the 18th and 19th centuries among amateur archaeologists, who became known as "barrow-diggers." In 1808, William Cunnington and Sir Richard Colt Hoare excavated several of the barrows, including the most important barrow, the Bush Barrow. Almost all of these barrows are believed to be from the Bronze Age, but several features, including a Long barrow, are earlier, dating to neolithic times. Cunnington and Hoare noted four sets of "curiously huddled together" human remains in the east end of the Long barrow. Unlike many of the early excavations, Hoare published a detailed account of their findings in 1812. South of the long barrow lies a mortuary enclosure; this rectangular neolithic earthwork, now ploughed out, was discovered by aerial photography and excavated in 1959.</p><br>
<p>Legal protection for many of the barrows was introduced in 1925 when they were designated a scheduled monument. The area was designated a World Heritage Site in 1987, since which excavation of any sort has been even more strictly controlled. Recent study has therefore focussed on re-appraising existing finds and non-intrusive fieldwork. In 2007, researchers from the University of Birmingham, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, began intensive studies of the artefacts found in all British Bronze Age burials, including those at Bush Barrow; and in 2010 an extensive survey of the condition and context of the barrows was made by English Heritage, as part of their Stonehenge World Heritage Site Landscape Project.</p><br>
<h2>Development of the site</h2><br>
<p>The Normanton Down site reveals the development of an entire Bronze Age cemetery. 24 barrows are covered by 6 different Scheduled Monument designations, and a total of at least 35 surviving barrows were identified and numbered by L V Grinsell in 1957. They appeared gradually throughout the Bronze Age. Multiple graves all covered by a single barrow are characteristic of the area.</p><br>
<p>The early part of the Bronze Age was marked by Beaker burials, characteristic of the Beaker people. The Beaker graves contained various funerary goods and were usually covered by round barrows; however, most of these barrows did not survive, making the graves hard to locate. It is assumed that these Beaker burials are located mostly to the west, in areas marked by older long or oval barrows. Also, mounds were later erected over some of the preexisting Beaker graves, enabling early excavators to locate them.</p><br>
<p>Later, the layout of the cemetery changed dramatically. The Normanton "linear" cemetery emerged along the main ridge, with three foci marking the landscape in a relatively straight line. Even though it is very likely that each focus was previously a Beaker grave, there is a clear tendency towards building sizeable mounds. Grave clustering seems to be present to some extent, especially in one of the Beaker burials and in the Bush Barrow.</p><br>
<p>Although most of the barrows were constructed by the end of the Early Bronze Age, a significant change appears in the middle of the Bronze Age. Burials involving Deverel-Rimbury urns of middle Bronze Age manufacture are present in clusters of small mounds. In the same time period, the burials appear to decline on Normanton Down, possibly shifting west to the vicinity of a remarkable feature known as the Wilsford shaft, which is a 30 m deep shaft, within a mid-Bronze Age Pond barrow.</p><br>
<h2>Bush Barrow</h2><br>
<p>The most famous burial mound at Normanton Down is called Bush Barrow and is 40m wide and 3m high. The name "Bush Barrow" was given to this archaeological site in the 1720s by William Stukeley because of the trees planted on the top. It was previously known as "the green barrow" for the same reason. It was excavated in 1808 by William Cunnington and Sir Richard Colt-Hoare, who found multiple artefacts inside the mound.</p><br>
<p>Cunnington wrote a detailed account of the discovery of a body and artefacts surrounding it in the barrow. He described that the head of the grave was at the south and the body was positioned on the floor rather than in a pit, which was considered unusual. In the account, Cunnington described pieces of brass and wood that are now believed to be the remains of a rare type of dagger or knife. One of the most prominent artefacts found at Bush Barrow was a "lozenge" –shaped piece of gold. These items along with a spearhead and set of bronze rivets suggest that the individual buried at Bush Barrow may have been a wealthy, influential man, perhaps a chief. The finds have been called "Britain&#39;s first Crown Jewels" belonging to the "king of Stonehenge". Modern reconstructions have led to the conclusion that the artefacts were arranged closely around the body.</p><br>
<p>Below is an extract from Cunnington&#39;s account:</p><br>
<p>" On reaching the floor of the barrow, we discovered the skeleton of a stout and tall man lying from south to north: the extreme length of his thigh bone was 20 inches. About 18 inches south of the head we found several brass (i. e. bronze) rivets intermixed with wood and some thin bits of brass nearly decomposed. These articles covered a space of 12 inches or more; it is probable therefore that they were the mouldered remains of a shield. Near the right arm was a large dagger of brass and a spearhead of the same material, full 13 inches long, and the largest we have ever found.</p><br>
<p>Immediately over the breast of the skeleton was a large plate of gold, in the form of a lozenge and measuring 7 inches by 6 inches. The even surface of this noble ornament is relieved by indented lines, checks and zigzags, forming the shape of the outline, and forming lozenge within lozenge, diminishing gradually towards the centre. We next discovered, on the right side of the skeleton, a very curious perforated stone, some wrought articles of bone, many small rings of the same material and another lozenge of gold. As this stone bears no marks of wear or attrition, I can hardly consider it to have been used as a domestic implement, and from the circumstances of it being composed of a mass of seaworms or little serpents, I think we may not be too fanciful in considering it an article of consequence."</p><br>
<p>The finds from Bush Barrow are now displayed at the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes, which preserves the manuscript notes made by Cunnington and the drawings made by Philip Crocker.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The type and quantity of grave goods found at Normanton Down suggest it was a burial place for people of high social status. Lavish burial configurations have also been identified. For example, the senior males found buried with daggers were originally placed in the grave lying on their left side. These males were most likely community leaders who toted daggers in their daily lives.</p><br>
<p>In addition, the location of Normanton Down as a whole suggests a special burial site. It was laid out with clear and commanding views of Stonehenge and other ridge tops in every direction (except the northwest), and it is crossed by the same solstitial axis that passes through Stonehenge. Further study of Normanton Down has revealed an absence of flint-working on the site relative to its immediately surrounding areas. It seems the location was set apart from everyday activities and most likely carried special significance.</p><br>
<p>Compared to other similar cemeteries, the Normanton Down location contains an uncommonly high number of disc barrows in addition to several bell barrows and one saucer barrow.</p><br>
<p>Solar Lake  is a saline desert lake located on the edge of the Red Sea, about 18 km south of Eilat in the Sinai Peninsula, Taba, Egypt, close to its borders with Israel. A small lake of high salinity, it is the site of complex biochemical phenomena, linked to cycles of evaporation and of infiltration of waters.</p><br>
<p>Solar Lake became isolated from the Red Sea as littoral sediments closed off an embayment between two rocky headlands. The saline waters of the Gulf of Aqaba that seep into Solar Lake are further concentrated by evaporation in the lake. It is believed that in addition to losses from evaporation, there is a crack system at the bottom of the lake</p><br>
<p>Monohydrocalcite and other carbonates appear to be deposited in Solar Lake by the action of benthic cyanobacterial mats (stromatolite), which may be 1 m thick.</p><br>
<p>At night the top metre of surface water loses heat to the cold desert air but insulates the lower layer. The insulated lower layer continues to gain solar energy each day and to accumulate heavy brine from above. Solar Lake develops some of the highest temperature solar-heated waters of any lake: certain layers can reach as high as 60 °C, temperatures matched only by some geothermal lakes. Due to the strong layering during certain times, the thermal gradients can be as high as 18 ºCm.</p><br>
<p>In the summer, the lake turns over and becomes well-mixed thermally and in salinity. The residence time of water in the lake is believed to be 5.5–6 months</p><br>
<p>El Garces was the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Depot with a hotel and restaurant in Needles, California. After extensive renovations, it reopened as the El Garces intermodal transportation facility in 2014. Built by the Santa Fe Railroad under contract with the Fred Harvey Company in 1908, the hotel was designed in an elegant Neoclassical and Beaux-Arts style and was considered "the Crown Jewel" of the entire Fred Harvey chain. This early Harvey House was designed by architect Francis W. Wilson.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was named in honor of Spanish missionary Father Francisco Garcés, an explorer in 1774 with Juan Bautista de Anza and the legendary De Anza expedition. The hotel&#39;s restaurant was staffed by the famous Harvey Girls, young women who worked for the Fred Harvey Company. The El Garces Hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 17, 2002.</p><br>
<p>El Garces hotel and restaurant closed in 1949. Historic USA Route 66 went by the hotel from the 1920s through the 1960s. The Santa Fe railroad station was used by Amtrak until it closed in 1988. Restoration and reconstruction of the historic El Garces began on March 7, 2007. Allen Affeldt, owner of the historic La Posada Hotel in Winslow, Arizona, intended to buy the station, opening an upscale hotel and restaurant, but abandoned that plan after a 2009 audit; the Federal Transit Administration determined that, because it had granted $4.8 million in public funding for construction, ownership has to remain with the city. City redevelopment of the intermodal transportation facility continued (without the proposed Needles Chamber of Commerce, hotel, and restaurant). The El Garces intermodal transportation facility renovation project was completed in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Bowes River is a river in the Mid West of Western Australia. It was named on 6 April 1839 by the explorer George Grey while on his second exploration expedition along the Western Australian coast. It was named for Mary Bowes, Dowager Countess of Strathmore, the wife of Sir William Hutt. Hutt was a British Liberal politician who was heavily involved in the colonization of New Zealand and South Australia, and the brother of John Hutt, the second governor of Western Australia. Sir William Hutt was a member of the 1836 select committee on Disposal of Lands in the British Colonies. Grey named the nearby Hutt River after Hutt.</p><br>
<p>The headwaters of the river rise approximately 10 km north-east of Northampton and flow in a south-westerly direction, crossing the North West Coastal Highway just north of Isseka. The river then continues in a westerly direction before discharging into the Indian Ocean south of Horrocks.</p><br>
<p>The river drains into a small deadwater with a depth of less than 3 m, which is only open to the ocean for a few days a year, generally following rains between June and August.</p><br>
<p>The river has two tributaries: Sandy Gully and Nokanena Brook.</p><br>
<p>Contamination of Nokanena Brook from the nearby Uga mine group and Northampton State Battery tailings dam, 1.2 km west of Northampton, has led to elevated lead and cadmium levels in stream water. Lead contamination from Nokanena Brook has also been recorded in Bowes River.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Decuman in Watchet, Somerset, England has a 13th-century chancel with the rest of the church being from the 15th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The dedication is because Watchet is believed to be the place where Saint Decuman was killed.</p><br>
<p>The church stands on a prominent site overlooking the town. It was restored and reseated by James Piers St Aubyn in 1886-1891, with further internal alterations being made in 1896 when the Caen stone reredos was erected.</p><br>
<h2>Wyndham Chapel</h2><br>
<p>The Wyndham Chapel occupies the east end of the north aisle and is dedicated to the Wyndham family of nearby Orchard Wyndham House, former lords of the manor. Included is a memorial to Sir John Wyndham (1558 &ndash; 1645), who played an important role in the establishment of defence organisation in the West Country against the threat of the Spanish Armada. Next to his monument is one to his parents, and the chest tomb of his grandparents, with monumental brasses, serves to separate the chapel from the chancel. A mural monument exists with kneeling effigies of two of Sir John&#39;s sons, Henry and George, as well as other monuments to the later family of Wyndham.</p><br>
<h2>Churchyard</h2><br>
<p>In the churchyard is the remains of a 15th century stone cross.</p><br>
<p>Quackenbush House is a historic building in Albany, New York. It is a house with a double-pitched gable roof that was built in about 1736. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Quackenbush House, built in the 1730s, was until recently considered the oldest house and structure in the city of Albany. However, it has recently been discovered that 48 Hudson Avenue may have been built as early as 1728. The Quackenbush House was originally beyond the city limit of the city of Albany as established by the Dongan Charter at Clinton Avenue, which was Patroon Street at the time. In 1812 the city would annex land to the north including the Quackenbush House. The building has been home to two French restaurants, Nicole&#39;s Bistro (1995–2008) and Le Canard Enchaine (2008–2009). Today the building is home to an English-style pub, The Olde English Pub and Pantry. The current mailing address for the restaurant is 25 Quackenbush Square. Also at Quackenbush Square is the Albany Heritage Area Visitors Center with a gift shop, the Henry Hudson Planetarium, and the Albany County Convention and Visitors Bureau.</p><br>
<p>Metro Arts Theatre is a heritage-listed former warehouse and now theatre at 109-117 Edward Street, Brisbane City, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was built in 1890. It is also known as Community Arts Centre, Coronation House, and Metro Arts Centre. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<p>In 2017, Metro Arts currently operates as a multidisciplinary arts organisation from the building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site was purchased in 1871 by Caption George Poynter Heath, who erected a warehouse in 1890 and leased it to George Myers & Co, who imported china, glass and earthenware products.</p><br>
<p>In March 1902 the upper levels were substantially damaged by fire but were later repaired.</p><br>
<p>The warehouse was subdivided in 1907 to accommodate other tenants. In 1912, Myers & Co purchased the building and became the sole occupants. The firm remained in the building until 1930 when it was forced into liquidation. Between 1931 and 1937 the building was vacant. In 1938 the building was renamed Coronation House in celebration of the coronation of George VI. It was occupied by various tenants including manufacturing agents and importers.</p><br>
<p>During the latter part of World War II, sections of the building were occupied by the Australian Government Department of Supply and Shipping. In March 1949 the property was acquired by the Australian Government and was used by various Australian government departments.</p><br>
<p>By the early 1970s the building was regarded as unsuitable for government offices and by 1976 all government departments had moved elsewhere. In that year, work began on converting the building into a community arts centre. In July 1981 the Community Arts Centre was officially opened, and contained theatre, two art galleries, rehearsal rooms, workshop spaces, meeting rooms, dark room, printing shop, cinema and restaurant. Further work was undertaken in 1988 to provide additional facilities for artists. The building was renamed the Metro Arts Centre in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>The Metro Arts building contains two performance venues, the Sue Benner Theatre and the Studio, a gallery space and currently supports more than 30 creative businesses, individual artist studios and retail outlets.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>This is a five-storey brick building with a basement level. The internal structure consists of timber floors and columns. The street facade is divided into five bays by plain broad pilasters. The central and outside bays contain tall, narrow paired windows, while the wider intermediate bays contain three wider windows. All window openings are square-headed. The facade features austere classical detailing with string courses dividing the floor levels.</p><br>
<p>The ground floor level features, on the western side, a cart entrance and internal laneway which leads to a rear courtyard. The simple parapet has stepped sections above the central and outside bays. The sides of the building have no ornamentation but have a regular pattern of window openings. The rear of the building has an internal hoist and motor under a curved corrugated iron roof with hinged landings at each level.</p><br>
<p>The building is substantially intact, particularly the upper floors, with visible evidence of the timber columns and beams, timber flooring, brick walls and service hoist. Considerable settlement of the upper floors is evident. Alterations to the building include the removal of some floor structure and the insertion of partitioning to accommodate a cinema and cafeteria.</p><br>

<p>East End Historic District is a national historic district located at Charleston, West Virginia. The district is set on a broad, ancient flood plain bordered by the Great Kanawha River on the south and by commercialized Washington Street on the north.</p><br>
<p>The West Virginia State Capitol complex forms an axis between the two important residential East End neighborhoods. The Statehouse dominates the vistas from all directions in the district. Holly Grove Mansion, constructed in 1815, is the oldest house in the East End. The East End displays a variety of architectural styles ranging from isolated surviving examples of the Greek Revival to the late Victorian Queen Anne. Also included, primarily in the western section, are examples of the eclectic style of the second half of the 19th century to the revivals of the pre-World War I period. Interspersed is a variety of adaptations and elements of almost every style: Italianate, Eastlake, Shingle, and Romanesque features being more prevalent in the western area, while the Georgian, Neo-Classical, Jacobethan, Prairie and Bungaloid are more often seen toward the eastern section.</p><br>
<p>Buildings are predominantly of brick, but there are a number of frame and stuccoed dwellings. Most buildings are single or double family dwellings of two or two and a half stories; exceptions are primarily apartment units of from three to six floors that blend quite well rather than more modern intrusions.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and was increased in size in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Munglinup River is an ephemeral river in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>The headwaters of the river rise near Cheadanup Nature Reserve. It flows in a southerly direction through cleared farmland, then crossing the South Coast Highway near the town of Munglinup before discharging into the Oldfield River, of which it is a tributary, approximately 8 km from the coast. For most of the length of the river it is within a vegetated corridor, the surrounding land is mostly cleared for stock with only about 15% remnant vegetation remaining. The river only flows in the winter months and the water is naturally saline or brackish.</p><br>
<p>The only tributary to the river is Clayhole Creek.</p><br>
<p>The word Munglinup is Indigenous Australian in origin and of unknown meaning. The name was first recorded by C.D. Price, a surveyor in 1875. The Dempster Brothers first used the name for their sheep station in 1860.</p><br>
<p>The Woodman Institute Museum is located at 182 Central Avenue in Dover, New Hampshire, United States. It is a museum dedicated to history, science and the arts. It was created in 1915 with a bequest of $100,000 from philanthropist Annie Woodman to encourage her city&#39;s education in those three fields. The institute opened on July 26, 1916. Under the name of "Woodman Institute", the museum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The museums campus now includes three brick houses of Federal style architecture, one of which is the former home of noted abolitionist Senator John P. Hale. Inside are exhibits of local history and natural history, in addition to art and antiques. One famous item is the saddle in which President Abraham Lincoln rode to review troops shortly before his assassination. A collection of artifacts showcases the nations past, with a special emphasis on Dover&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>Visitors can see the sword a Japanese delegate to the 1905 Portsmouth Peace Conference (Treaty of Portsmouth) gave to a waiter at the Hotel Wentworth, examples of Dover&#39;s textile output, relics from every war in which the United States has fought, an old 13 star American flag, a 10-foot stuffed polar bear from the Arctic, an old piano with genuine ivory keys, and a collection of stuffed birds, fish and mammals.</p><br>
<p>On the museum&#39;s grounds is the 1675 William Damm Garrison, one of the oldest intact garrison houses in the state, as well as the oldest house in Dover. It survived the Cochecho Massacre, and was later moved to this location for preservation under a permanent shelter. Also within the shelter, visitors may see a brass Napoleon cannon used in the American Civil War, one of only ten left in existence.</p><br>
<p>The Gareloi Volcano is a stratovolcano in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, United States, about 1,259 mi from Anchorage. Gareloi is located on Gareloi Island, and comprises most of its land mass. The island also has two small glaciers which protrude to the northwest and southeast.</p><br>
<p>The volcano is 6 mi by 5 mi at its base, possessing two summits. The southern crater is far greater in size, 984 ft wide with fumaroles, which can be attributed to edifice failure in the southern wall, while Gareloi&#39;s northern crater is enclosed.</p><br>
<h2>Discovery and accessibility</h2><br>
<p>Vitus Bering had been a prominent sailor in Russia. After successful expeditions in 1725, 1728, and 1730, Bering was sent to explore what is now the Bering Sea area of the Pacific in 1740. He soon settled on Kamchatka, where he started a settlement and built two additional vessels, dubbed St. Peter and St. Paul. In 1741 Bering and his company started towards North America, but were stalled by a storm and in being delayed were forced to take land. During the storm they could not make out the Alaskan coast. The storm proved too powerful so the ships turned around, along the way charting several of the Aleutians, including Gareloi.</p><br>
<p>Since then, it has been barely studied, resulting in a fragmentary knowledge of its eruptions and possibly even unrecorded episodes.</p><br>
<p>Gareloi Island is uninhabited and is part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge managed by the USA Fish and Wildlife Service.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and geology</h2><br>
<p>Gareloi is the northernmost volcano of the Delarof Group, a subgroup of the Aleutian Islands. It is composed of two craters, the older of which is covered by lava flows running to the northwest and southern coasts. The northern crater is small, with a feature suggesting dome collapse in its northwest flank. The southern flank, higher up and considerably larger, contains fumarolic activity. A fissure created by Gareloi&#39;s 1929 eruption runs along the southern summit of the volcano.</p><br>
<p>Gareloi is of lava flows and pyroclastic origin. Two main episodes contributed to its creation. Lava deposits on the mountain vary from 3 ft to 20 ft in thickness. Some of them extend from external vents on the volcano, suggesting that activity during the Pleistocene took place.</p><br>
<p>There are two large lava valleys on the island&#39;s southwest side which are u-shaped. The oldest of these flows are of Pleistocene age composed of basaltic trachyandesite and basaltic andesite, with smaller amounts of plagioclase, clinopyroxene, olivine, and hornblende.</p><br>
<h3>Rock</h3><br>
<p>The rock that makes up Gareloi Island and its volcano is estimated to be of Pleistocene age. Several factors contribute to this inference, mainly the presence of glaciers and edifice failure (landslide) debris. The rock, which comprises dissected lava flows and pyroclastic masses, has been shaped by glacial retreat that began around 10,000 years past and fleshed out newly formed rocks. Other landslides have been generated on the north and east flanks of the volcano.</p><br>
<h3>Mapping</h3><br>
<p>The Alaska Volcano Observatory proceeded to map the volcano and its surrounding area in 2003, in addition to implementing seismic monitors in June.</p><br>
<h2>Eruptive history</h2><br>
<p>Gareloi has an extensive eruptive history, dating back to at least 1760. At least 12 eruptions have occurred at the summit, accompanied by lava and pyroclastic flows. Typically they have been characterized by a central vent eruption followed by an explosive eruption, and sometimes a phreatic explosion. All have been of Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 1 to 3. Such eruptions have occurred in 1790, 1791, 1792, 1873, 1922, April 1929, 1950, January 17, 1952, August 7, 1980, January 15, 1982, September 4, 1987, and August 17, 1989. Uncertain eruptions occurred in 1760, 1828, 1927, and 1996.</p><br>
<h3>1929</h3><br>
<p>In 1929 Gareloi Volcano underwent a major explosive eruption where it generated four lava flows, andesitic tuff, volcanic glass, and scoria of red tone. Thirteen craters, all located in the fissure, contributed to this episode. All are most likely phreatic. During the eruption, pyroclastic flows convened with tephra, as suggested by deposits. Lahar also streamed from the summit.</p><br>
<h3>1980s–1990s</h3><br>
<p>On August 8, 1980 Gareloi erupted for the first time in records since 1929, sending ash plumes over 35,000 ft into the atmosphere. Precursor earthquakes occurred on August 8 and 9, both west of the Adak seismic network. A similar episode took place in 1982 when an ash cloud exceeding 23,000 ft appeared on satellite images on January 15. A minor eruption occurred on September 27, 1996 was reported to the National Weather Service Aviation Weather Unit in nearby Anchorage. The plume, consisting of ash and steam, rose 5,000 ft from the volcano&#39;s summit.</p><br>
<h2>Threat</h2><br>
<p>Proximal volcanic hazards pose a significant threat to human life near Gareloi. If Gareloi were to erupt unexpectedly, ash clouds, falling volcanic ash, pyroclastic flows, and debris avalanches (such as lahars) could easily span deadly hazards such as tsunamis. As volcanic ash can induce engine failure, it puts commercial airplanes in particular at high risk. Inhalation of volcanic ash, also known as tephra, creates respiratory complexities and irritation of the eye.</p><br>
<p>Pyroclastic flows from an eruption would destroy much wildlife about the volcano. Gareloi has historically produced several pyroclastic flows, which can travel extremely fast. Future flows at Gareloi Volcano could travel off the island into the Pacific Ocean and, if large enough, could fall into the ocean and generate tsunamis, though unlikely.</p><br>
<p>The Charles H. Bigelow House is a historic building in Findlay, Ohio, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 2006. The home is considered to be a fine example of a Painted Lady, or polychrome Victorian architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built between 1888-1889 during a period of rapid economic growth in Findlay. The 7,500 ft&sup2; house was designed by architect Henry Oswald Wurmser in the Queen Anne, Stick/Eastlake style. The owner, Charles Henry Bigelow, was a son of an early settler and community leader, who built on his father’s achievements to become a successful farmer, livestock breeder and business leader. Bigelow was one of many Findlay residents whose fortunes grew along with the booming regional economy of the late 19th century, spurred by discovery of gas fields nearby. Bigelow later married May Vance, a relative of former Ohio governor Joseph Vance.</p><br>
<p>The construction of the home during the gas boom of Findlay is evident by the many gas using fixtures original to the home. It originally had seven gas fireplaces, and many gas lamps. The original oriental brass light in the newel post is shaped like a dragon which breathed fire when the gas was lit. All have since been converted to wood burning fireplaces or electric lights. In 1989, the exterior of the home was restored and repainted in a cracker cream, cottage red, village green, and lighter green in order to highlight the woodwork.</p><br>
<p>In 1992, the house appeared in Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsens Americas Painted Ladies: The Ultimate Celebration of our Victorians, a catalogue of exceptional polychrome Victorian or Edwardian homes. In 1995, the house appeared as a featured act of David Copperfield&#39;s The Magic of David Copperfield XVI: Unexplained Forces, although its history was falsified and it was referred to as the "Barclay House".</p><br>
<p>The Abrams Building was located at South Pearl Street  and Hudson Avenue in Albany, New York, United States. It was a brick commercial building constructed in the 1880s. In 1980 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Originally it was part of a row of similar buildings. By the time it was listed, all of the adjoining buildings had been demolished, and it was one of the few 19th-century commercial building in Albany&#39;s downtown that retained its original storefront.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The building was located on the northwest corner of the former intersection (Hudson was vacated west of South Pearl as part of the arena construction) at the south edge of Albany&#39;s downtown, just outside the Downtown Albany Historic District. Across the street commercial buildings of a similar age and scale, some of them contributing properties to the historic district, still stand. The South Mall Arterial, an elevated freeway providing access to the government buildings in Empire State Plaza from the Dunn Memorial Bridge over the Hudson River to the east, is a block to the south. Across the arterial are the Mansion and Pastures neighborhoods, both also listed on the National Register as historic districts.</p><br>
<p>The Abrams was a five-by-five-bay four-story brick structure with a flat roof. At the street level was the original storefront, with cast iron decorations. On the side elevations some splayed-lintel windows had been bricked in. An additional entrance, to the upper stories, was located on the south facade.</p><br>
<p>All the second-story windows had round arches connected by molded brick stringcourses on the south (front) and side elevations. Atop them ran another stringcourse, with panels set between it and the third-story windows. They were topped in segmental arches connected by another stringcourse, and topped by panels with no top course. On the fourth story the central window had a rounded arch topped by a pediment that protruded into the paneled brick frieze. Another stringcourse connected its sill to those on the flanking windows, rectangular with flat lintels. All windows were set with one-over-one double-hung sash. At the roof there was a parapet with a small pediment in the center. On either side, and at the corner, were finials.</p><br>
<p>Inside the ground floor had two commercial spaces, with original cabinetry and tin ceilings. The second floor was a large meeting space. On the third and fourth floors were apartments, many having had original finishes and fixtures.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 onwards triggered growth in Albany that lasted well into the next century. It became an industrial and financial center in addition to the seat of state government. New residential neighborhoods, such as the Mansion and Pastures, were developed south of the city&#39;s core, and streets extended to them, with new development replacing earlier structures.</p><br>
<p>One instance was the Abrams Building. It did not have that name at the time, but in 1885 Dr. John Bigelow, a professor at Albany Medical College, replaced an older, smaller structure his family owned. While there is no record of the architect, it bears a resemblance to the 1887 Albany Business College building, designed by the local firm of Ogden and Wright. Its Romanesque detailing was a popular style at the time.</p><br>
<p>It was in use almost immediately. By 1890 the commercial space housed a liquor store. Later it would be a confectionery, jewelry store and drug store. The upstairs meeting space was also busy, with over a hundred different social and fraternal organizations active in Albany at that time. Among them were the Grand Army of the Republic and the Sons of Temperance (prior to the opening of the liquor store).</p><br>
<p>In the late 20th century, the city&#39;s industries went into decline, and many of the buildings from its prosperous years suffered as well. Most were spared the wholesale destruction of urban renewal programs due to Albany politics, but some older buildings were demolished anyway. By the time the Abrams Building, which had taken the name of its then owner, was listed on the Register, it was the sole survivor of the row of similar buildings it once been part of.</p><br>
<p>The owner hoped that the listing would help spur the restoration and redevelopment of the property, but instead it was condemned when the Albany Civic Center project (now the Times Union Center) was approved. Along with the Abrams, ten other historic buildings, some of them contributing properties to the Downtown Albany Historic District, were slated for destruction. Local preservationists tried to save them all. The federal Urban Mass Transit Administration denied the city a grant to build an elevated walkway connecting the arena to the government buildings at Empire State Plaza, since it indicated it would proceed with the demolition before a federal review required by the National Historic Preservation Act for any federal action that might affect Register-listed properties. The buildings were demolished early in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Basilica of St. Joseph is a Roman Catholic church located in Alameda, California at 1109 Chestnut Street. Its history dates back to early settlement of the City of Alameda, California. A former mission church of St. Anthonys in Oakland, the parish of St. Josephs was established in 1885. It is part of the Diocese of Oakland. The Basilica was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Origins</h2><br>
<p>The foundation of St. Josephs can be traced to a Catholic mission in Alameda, created in 1873 by San Francisco Archbishop Jose Sadoc Alemany to serve the growing Roman Catholic population. Land for the mission church, on the southeast corner of Santa Clara Avenue and Chestnut Street had been donated by Mr. Minturn, a non-Catholic, and the first Catholic church in Alameda was built. The mission church built in 1873, was used as a place of worship for over twenty years. The mission was served by Father William Gleeson and the priests of St. Anthonys Church in Oakland. each Sunday Fr. Gleeson would ride horseback (or come on foot) to Alameda each Sunday to offer Mass and teach Catechism.</p><br>
<p>With a growing congregation, Fr. Gleeson was assisted by Fr. J. B. McNally. Twice in a period of seven years the church was enlarged. Finally in 1881 a new church was built on the southwest corner of Chestnut Street and San Antonio Avenue. Fr. Gleeson had chosen this site for the convenience of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur who had just built a girls’ school on the adjoining lot. Notre Dame Academy taught girls in grades one through twelve.</p><br>
<h2>Parish</h2><br>
<p>Father Michael McNaboe served ten years as pastor of St. Alphonsus in Suisun, when in 1882, Archbishop Alemany recalled McNaboe from rural Solano County to San Francisco. Father McNaboe in 1885 was instructed by the new Archbishop Patrick William Riordan to establish in Alameda, St. Joseph&#39;s Parish. The original parish boundaries were the City of Alameda. McNaboe died on March 1, 1892.</p><br>
<p>Archbishop Riordan appointed Father John J. Sullivan, the pastor of the Old Saint Marys Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in San Francisco, to be the second pastor of St. Josephs. Sullivan at once saw the need for a larger church. The laying of the cornerstone was August 12, 1894; Archbishop Riordan dedicated the gothic wooden church, January 20, 1895. Sullivan became ill and resigned as pastor of St. Josephs in January 1898; Riordan appointed Father Patrick A. Foley, the pastor of All Hallows in San Francisco, in his place. After fifteen years in Alameda, Foley was appointed pastor of St. Raphaels Church in San Rafael, California.</p><br>
<p>Riordan appointed Father James Bernard Praught as pastor of St. Josephs Church in Rio Vista in 1906, followed in 1913 by appointment as pastor of St. Josephs Parish in Alameda. Praught founded the St. Joseph Elementary School for boys and girls in 1916; the grammar school was completed in 1922.</p><br>
<p>The old wooden St. Joseph Church burned to the ground on the night of September 29, 1919. A new Church in the Spanish Colonial Revival Style, copied from the old mission in Monterey, was built.</p><br>
<p>Archbishop Hanna divided the Island City with the creation in 1925 of two parishes, St. Phillip Neri, (East End) Father Maurice O&#39;Keefe, pastor and St. Barnabas (West End) Father Patrick McGrattan, pastor. St. Phillip Neri, identified with the affluent and stable Fernside District. St. Barnabas, the transient military families stationed at NAS (Naval Air Station Alameda). St. Joseph continued to serve central Alameda. Children from the Alameda Catholic elementary schools of St. Joseph, St. Phillip Neri and St. Barnabas would attend St. Joseph Boys High School and Notre Dame Girls High School. In 1976 Bishop Begin erected St. Albert The Great Parish, built on former asparagus farm land, near the new "Harbor Bay Isle" subdivisions.</p><br>
<p>Father Praught placed a Plaque on the Saint Joseph Tower, TIME GOD&#39;s sublime GIFT! LIFE of the SOUL! Ours in trust to WORK: glorify TRUTH: constantly Pray: LIGHT! O GOD! MORE LIGHT! in memory Anna Marie Broderick A.D. 1928</p><br>
<p>On August 17, 1935, San Francisco Archbishop John J. Mitty presided over the consecration of the altar and church of St. Josephs. It was one of the few churches consecrated in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. In 1943, after thirty years at St. Josephs Parish. Praught retired and was succeeded by Father Robert J. OConnor (pastor of St. Phillip Neri, in Alameda - since 1928). Praught became Pastor Emeritus until his death in 1949. OConnor died in 1957.</p><br>
<p>Father Alvin P. Wagner, former pastor of St. Francis of Assisi in San Francisco, was appointed pastor of St. Josephs. On September 8, 1962, Pope John XXIII honored Father Wagner as a Monsignor; he was formally installed as a Domestic Prelate by Bishop Begin. That same year, the Diocese of Oakland was created from the Archdiocese of San Francisco and St. Josephs became part of the Oakland diocese. Monsignor Wagner retired in 1983 and it was then that the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (SSCC) was asked by the Oakland Diocese to staff St. Joseph. In 2007, the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary decided to leave Saint Joseph&#39;s Community. Oakland Bishop Allen Vigneron returned the parish to the diocesan priests.</p><br>
<h2>St. Joseph Basilica</h2><br>
<p>The new church was designed by Massachusetts architect H.A. Minton, who had come west to help rebuild San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake. The cornerstone was set on August 22, 1920 by San Francisco Archbishop Edward Joseph Hanna. The church contained a bell donated by the Knights of Columbus, which had been fashioned from metal from the bell from the previous church decoyed by fire in 1919. The first Mass in the new church took place on December 25, 1921.</p><br>
<p>In the spring of 1972, St. Joseph&#39;s Church was elevated to the rank of a minor Basilica by Pope Paul VI, making it one of four basilicas in the western United States, including Missions in San Francisco, Monterey, and San Diego. The Pope gave the basilica the right of the conopaeum (a baldachin resembling an umbrella, called an umbraculum, in yellow and red silk, the colors associated with the Papal See) and the bell (tintinnabulum) carried side by side in procession at the head of the clergy.</p><br>
<p>The basilica has a Schoenstein organ.</p><br>
<p>The basilica was added to the National Register in 1978.</p><br>

<h2>Schools</h2><br>
<p>While still under "mission status," on March 27, 1881, Sister Marie de Sacre Coeur and four Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur started the Notre Dame Academy for Young Ladies. In 1887 Fr. McNaboe requested the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur to staff a boys elementary school. In 1922 a new co-ed grammar school was donated to the parish by Theresa Ettinger in memory of her husband, the late Victor Ettinger. Fr. J. Bernard Praught, the pastor of St. Joseph Church, became the first principal of the new school. The last of the Sisters to minister in the elementary school, Sister Agnes Anzoli, left in the 1990s. As of 2015, the school had an enrollment of about 270 in grades kindergarten through eighth.</p><br>
<p>In 1922 Notre Dame Academy was renamed Notre Dame Girls High School. In 1960 the old girls high school was razed, and Notre Dame Girls High School and Notre Dame Sisters Convent were built.</p><br>
<p>In 1935 Praught asked Father Joseph Tetzlaff of the (Marianists), Brothers of Mary to set up a Boys High School in Alameda. St Joseph Boys High School opened August 26, 1935, with Brother Matthew Betz, S.M. as principal. St. Joseph&#39;s drew students from Oakland, San Leandro and Berkeley. At the conclusion of the 1970 academic year the Brothers of Mary departed St. Joseph Boys High School and Msgr. Wagner sought a teaching order to replace the departing brothers.</p><br>
<p>St. Joseph Boys High School and Notre Dame Girls High School merged in 1983. St. Joseph Notre Dame High School is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and by the Western Catholic Educational Association.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Mary in Kingston St Mary, Somerset, England, dates from the 13th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The nave and arcades date from the 13th century. The tower is from the early 16th century and was reroofed in 1952, with further restoration 1976-8. It is a 3-stage crenellated tower, with crocketed pinnacles with bracketed pinnacles set at angles, decorative pierced merlons, and set back buttresses crowned with pinnacles. The decorative "hunky punks" are perched high on the corners. There may be so named because the carvings are squatting on their hunkers - as in one hunkers i.e. squatting and punch meaning short and thick. They actually serve no function unlike gargoyles which carry off water.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the church includes a font from the 16th century, and the pulpit from 1742. The carved bench ends date from the 1520s. The tomb of John de la Warre the 4th Earl De La Warr, who fought at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356, is made from Purbeck Marble and dominates the south aisle. It includes a wide selection of stained glass.</p><br>
<p>The churchyard includes tombs of the Warre family who owned nearby Hestercombe House.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the benefice of Kingston St Mary with Broomfield within the Taunton deanery.</p><br>
<p>The Phillips River is an ephemeral river in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>Its headwaters rise on the sandplains below Mount Madden and flow in a southerly direction, crossing the South Coast Highway approximately 20 km west of Ravensthorpe, entering the Fitzgerald River National Park and veering eastward to follow a fault-line in the Quartzite rocks around the Eastern end of the Barren Range. The river finally discharges into Culham Inlet and, when the inlet is open to the ocean, into the Southern Ocean.</p><br>
<p>There are six tributaries including West River, Jackilup Creek, Yarracarrup Creek and Kybalup Creek.</p><br>
<p>The river&#39;s catchment is 35% cleared, with the southern half lying within the boundaries of the Fitzgerald River National Park. The entire catchment lies within the Fitzgerald River Biosphere.</p><br>
<p>Phillips River flows for only a short time each year, mostly during the (southern) winter months in the middle of the year. The river water is naturally saline but varies from almost fresh to more saline then seawater.</p><br>
<p>Named by John Septimus Roe, who was the first European to discover the river in 1848. The river is named after his son in law, Samuel Pole Phillips.</p><br>
<p>From 1892, it was the site of a goldrush. A de facto town, known initially as Phillips River, sprang up. In 1901, the town was gazetted under the name Ravensthorpe.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Maryin Bishops Lydeard, Somerset, England, dates from the 14th and 15th centuries and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>In 1860–62 the church was extended by one bay and a vestry, by Edward Jeboult of Taunton, added.</p><br>
<p>The tower, which was built around 1497, has pierced tracery battlements, pinnacles, set back buttresses terminating in pinnacles at the bell-storey, and pinnacles on the buttresses at each stage. On the stonework are hunky punks which have been severely damaged by the weather, however one appears to represent a Sea serpent.</p><br>
<p>Between 2010 and 2011, an eleven-month restoration programme, focussing on the tower and costing £240,000, was undertaken by Sally Strachey Historic Conservation, under the supervision of Smith Gamblin Architects.</p><br>
<p>Several of the tombs in the churchyard are of historical importance, as are two crosses, one dating from the 14th century, the other being the town&#39;s market cross which was moved to the churchyard in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Ribston Hall is a privately owned 17th-century country mansion situated on the banks of the River Nidd, at Great Ribston, near Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, England. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<p>The two-storey mansion presents an impressive fifteen-bay entrance front to the north east. The adjoining chapel is said to contain traces of 13th-century masonry.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The estate at Ribston was granted by Robert de Ros to the Knights Templar in 1217 and passed to the Knights Hospitaller on the demise of the templars in the early 14th century. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries the property reverted to the Crown and was granted to the Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, who sold it to Henry Goodricke in 1542.</p><br>
<p>Henry Goodricke was succeeded by his son Richard, who became High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1579–80, and died in 1581. Richard was succeeded by his own son, Richard, who was High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1591–92 and died in 1601. He was succeeded in turn by Sir Henry Goodricke whose son John was made Baronet Goodricke in 1641. As a Royalist Sir John suffered in the Civil War, being fined and then imprisoned in the Tower of London, from where he escaped to France. After the Restoration he was elected MP for Yorkshire in 1661, sitting until 1670.</p><br>
<p>In 1674 Sir Henry Goodricke, 2nd Baronet, the son of Sir John, was MP for Boroughbridge from 1673 to 1679 and from 1683 to his death in 1705. He built the existing house on the remains of the old property. The new Hall was the home of the Goodricke family until the death of the seventh Baronet in 1833, who was unmarried. He bequeathed the estate to Francis Littleton Holyoake of Studley Castle on condition that the latter adopted the Goodricke name. In 1836 Francis Holyoake-Goodricke sold the estate to Joseph Dent, of a well-to-do Lincolnshire family, who laid out the pinetum in the estate. He was High Sheriff for 1847.</p><br>
<p>The mansion remains the Dent family home. The estate is believed to have given its name to the Ribston Pippin apple.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St John the Baptist in Hatch Beauchamp, Somerset, England, was built in the Norman period and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The church has a crenellated 3-stage tower from about 1500. It displays crocketed pinnacles, a pierced parapet with quatrefoils and arcades in the merlons and gargoyles. The church has diagonal buttresses to support the tower whereas, in other churches, angle buttresses are the norm. The buttresses, which finish in the belfry stage, support small detached shafts which rise upwards to form the outside subsidiary pinnacles of each corner cluster. On the stonework are hunky punks of dogs. The chrcuh was Victorian restorationrestored in the 19th century with extra bays being added to the north and south aisles by George Gilbert Scott in 1867.</p><br>
<p>The church includes a window dedicated to the memory of Colonel John Rouse Merriott Chard (1847–1897) who was an English soldier who won the Victoria Cross for his role in the defence of Rorke&#39;s Drift in 1879.</p><br>
<p>It is a church within the Seven Sowers benefice which includes Curry Mallet, Beercrocombe, Orchard Portman, Staple Fitzpaine, Stoke St Mary (with Thurlbear) and West Hatch. It is within the archdeanery of Taunton.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Peter & St Paul in North Curry, Somerset, England, is nicknamed ‘The Cathedral of the Moors’. It dates from the 14th century and has been designated a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The church is Norman in origin, with the lower stages of tower, transepts and nave being built around 1300. Only the north doorway survives from the original church by as it was built by Bishop Reginald Fitz Jocelin. In the 14th century the upper stage of the tower was added and in 1502 the chancel was rebuilt, the porch added and the walls of clerestory raised. Some minor restoration including the parapet of the tower was carried out in 1832 by Richard Carver. Later in the 19th century the north aisle wall and door were taken down and re-built and the vestry added, by John Oldrid Scott.</p><br>
<p>The church was erected on the site of an earlier church. Episcopal records in Wells mention a church in North Curry as early as 1199.</p><br>
<p>The church has a good view of the Levels and moors, with benches placed for walkers and other visitors to enjoy the view from the slightly higher grounds of the churchyard. To assist visitors tracing their ancestry to North Curry, the church has posted a map of the graves in the cemetery.</p><br>
<p>In August 2007, North Curry Church was incorporated into the Athelney benefice of the Church of England. The vicar of the Athelney benefice covers the parishes of Burrowbridge, Lyng, North Curry, and Stoke St Gregory.</p><br>
