What's on 2015-16 What’s On 2015-16 a guide to events at Royal Holloway Welcome I am delighted to introduce our programme of events at Royal Holloway for the year 2015-2016. Royal Holloway is one of the UK’s leading research intensive universities, founded by two Victorian social pioneers who understood the importance of education and knowledge, and who were inspired to bring those benefits to everyone. Today the College is a community that continues to be inspired by the egalitarian spirit of our founders; we are passionate about the personal and social values that come from education and knowledge. The College is a powerful force in the region, building partnerships with the business community and playing a major role in economic success. We are proud of the contribution we make to the cultural and social life of our community, by providing a wide range of events that cover the arts and humanities, science and social sciences. The new academic year sees the School of Law welcoming our first cohort of students on the LLB qualifying law degree, as well as our MSc in Forensic Psychology. Building on existing strength in criminology, social policy, sociology and forensic psychology, the new School of Law is home to a multidisciplinary team of research-active academics. On 29 February, the lecture on the 'Good Prison' Redefined – the Mandela Rules by Nick Hardwick, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons, will launch the School of Law. You are warmly invited to this event. Our impressive keynote lecture series provides an opportunity to hear directly from outstanding speakers, both internal and external. I would particularly like to draw your attention to the ‘Philanthropy Changing Lives’ lecture which is being organised in co-operation with the Community Foundation for Surrey. The talk will give an insight into how modern-day philanthropists are working with local charities and community groups to change the prospects of children and young people through education and learning. Other highlights include: the Fawcett Lecture by Dame Jenni Murray, journalist and broadcaster (BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour) which will be held on 7 March at Senate House in London; Sarah Fox and the Choir of Royal Holloway concert, and the two concerts of the Royal Holloway Chamber Orchestra with the London Mozart Players. I would like to invite you to be part of our community by attending our extensive programme of events and sharing in the life of the College. I look forward to welcoming you here.

  • Royal Holloway Chapel the Chapel
    Royal Holloway Chapel The Chapel The Chapel at Royal Holloway, University of London is one of the highlights of the magnificent Founder’s Building. As you look at the monumental clock tower front from the main gates, the Chapel forms the left hand wing of the Founder’s Building front under the clock tower while the right hand wing contains the Picture Gallery. Thomas Holloway employed William Henry Crossland (1835-1908) to design the Renaissance Revival building, based on the Chateau de Chambord in France. Construction began in 1874 and was finished in 1881 but the College was not formally inaugurated by Queen Victoria until 1886. Something of a puzzle College chapels were a central feature of the Oxford and Cambridge Colleges. Since medieval times, the daily life of the staff and students who were mostly resident, revolved around the chapel, the refectory and the library and were closely connected to the Church of England. However, University College, London and Bedford College for Women, with their strong non- conformist connections had neither chapels nor chaplains. Royal Holloway’s Chapel is usually attributed to the inspiration of Jane Holloway, Thomas’s wife, at whose suggestion first the Holloway Sanatorium and then the College were founded. In the College’s original statutes, the day was to begin with ‘a simple service of readings, prayers and hymns of a Christian household’ that suggest the evangelical piety of Jane. However the size, the grand design and gilded interior of the Chapel are much more reminiscent of the Chapel of the Palace of Versailles than that of an English non-conformist domestic Victorian puginesque decoration on the walls chapel, and with more than a hint of Renaissance Catholic taste.

  • Chertsey Division
    County of Surrey CHERTSEY DIVISION Register of Electors, 1918 An Alphabetical Index of Naval/Military and/or Absent Voters Surrey History Centre Reference: CC802/27/1 This document contains the names of individuals who were included in the 1918 Electoral Register for the Chertsey Parliamentary Division of Surrey, and who were recorded as being either Naval, Military and/or absent voters. Notes: Not all Naval/Military voters may have been correctly designated “NM” and not all absent voters may have been Naval/Military personnel, in which case their entries are highlighted in orange text. Red text denotes a possible error, or information derived from a different source, such as the 1919 Chertsey Electoral Register. This is particularly the case for the Parish of Bisley (Dii), because parts of the pages for this Parish are missing in the Electoral Register held at the Surrey History Centre. Entry Nos. 547-573, 578-628, 634-660, 794-812 & 825 are affected. Some individuals were killed in action, or otherwise died, in the period between when the Register was compiled and the cessation of hostilities in November 1918. Some voters may appear more than once. This Index is therefore intended only as a guide to further research and no guarantee of accuracy is given.

Robert Shrimplin MRTPI MPhil TP Checked by: ……………………. James Brown MRTPI DiP TP Introduction 1) This Hearing Statement has been produced by ShrimplinBrown on behalf of the Wentworth Residents Association ("WRA") (representor ID 1998) in relation to the examination into the Runnymede Borough Local Plan 2030 ("the draft Local Plan"). It responds to Matter 6 of the Stage 2 Hearing Sessions. 2) As made clear in previous objections to the Local Plan, the WRA wishes to participate at the hearing sessions where this Matter will be considered by the Inspector. 3) The WRA represents the residents living on the Wentworth Estate (being over 1,000 households) and business interests in Virginia Water in all matters affecting the Estate. 4) The WRA objects to the draft Local Plan, specifically: the failure by the Council properly to discharge its duty to co-operate; the failure by the Council properly to undertake a sustainability appraisal (and related processes) into the draft Local Plan; and three proposed housing allocations which it considers should be deleted from the emerging Local Plan: • Policy SD20: Longcross Garden Village; • Policy SL9: Housing Allocation at Virginia Water North; and • Policy SL10: Housing Allocation at Virginia Water South.
