  • In Reference to the History of This House, It May First Be Noted That John Heyworth, No
    TRANSACTIONS. 27 BY R. L. HOWARD, ESQ., AND THE REV. H. FOWLER. In reference to the history of this house, it may first be noted that John Heyworth, No. 3, the last of his name, who inherited it, died here in 1558. In the same year died also Sir John Brocket, Kt., of Wheathamp- 28 S. ALBANS ARCHITECTURAL & ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. stead Place. His brother, Nicholas Brocket, was the second husband of Margaret Hoo (of Kimpton Hoo), the heiress to the Heyworth estate.— [See Clutterbuck's Herts. II. 360.] About this date, it is supposed, Mackery End (house and manor) was purchased by Sir William Garrard, Kt., who had come into possession of Lamer in 1553.* The oldest part of the present mansion, containing the kitchen offices, is apparently substantially identical with the habitation of the Heyworths, which thus passed from Margaret Brocket to the Garrards. Its half-timber character and the massive chimney stack accord with this supposition. A spacious chimney recess, now dis- used, must have belonged to the Heyworth kitchen. The ancient hall adjoined this, the same chimney stack serving for both. The chimney top here has been modernised. Subsequent additions to the offices have obscured the ancient plan : all ornamental features have been obliterated. The old staircase in this part of the house is, no doubt, on the original site. The Heyworth south gable is now carried on a beam over the modern kitchen. The gable had to be reconstructed a few years ago on account of settlement, but the old lines are preserved. The ancient entrance seems to have been on the south side, where the porch facing the stable court now is.

  • Four Bridge Walking Route Visitor Information Pack
    Four Bridge Walking Route Visitor Information Pack Millennium Bridge Owner: Bridge House Estates Completed: 2000 Designer: Arup Group, Foster + Partners and Sir Anthony Caro Millennium Bridge was London’s first new pedestrian bridge for over a century. The design was chosen through open competition and was won by Foster & Partners and Sir Anthony Caro with Arup. The bridge is an unusually shallow stressed cable suspension bridge, specifically designed to provide spectacular views of St Paul’s Cathedral and Tate Modern. The bridge was dedicated by Queen Elizabeth II and originally opened in 2000. The sheer volume of pedestrian traffic on the bridge on opening days (90,000 people) caused an unexpected swaying motion, causing it to be nicknamed ‘The Wobbly Bridge’. This problem was fixed by the retrofitting of 37 fluid-viscous (energy dissipating) dampers to control horizontal movement and 52 tuned mass (inertial) dampers to control vertical movement. The bridge was reopened in 2002 and has not been subject to significant vibration since. Inspired by Sir Norman Foster’s love of superhero Flash Gordon, the architect’s original lighting scheme was designed to incorporate a ‘blade of light’. Alas this was not successfully realised at the time. For Illuminated River, Leo Villareal consulted Fosters & Partners so that he could reference the original lighting concept in his artwork for Millennium Bridge. Artist Ben Wilson can often be found painting miniature works of art on discarded chewing gum on the walkways. If you look closely at the grooves of Millennium Bridge, you can discover up to 400 works of art. Artist’s Vision Illuminated River's pulse of light mirrors the movements of people crossing the bridge, highlighting their faces and casting silhouettes that enhance the bridge structure, while preserving the inky darkness of the Thames below.
