By the end of 1941 the worst of the air-raids were deemed to be over and Britain and the Allied nations, now aided by the entry of the United States into the war, began to go “on the offensive”. It was a good time for Winston Churchill to go around personally and see for himself Britain’s mili- tary developments and new weaponry, and often to be seen in the media for good morale - or propa- ganda - reasons. The Hall was one of those special places, “somewhere in Christopher England”, where he could Terry / BHCT follow the latest advances just as they came along. Images. Your Event at Brougham Hall...?

Invited to The Reform Club

Christopher Terry’s Presentation on History of Lord Chancellor Brougham Next Week

HRISTOPHER TERRY, the Founder of the C Brougha m Hall Charita ble Trust , is to head to London in a day or two, having been paid the very great honour of being asked to give a talk at the Reform Club , on Pall Mall, on the life of 1830’s. Lord High Chancellor Henry Peter Brougham &. Vaux — he of the 1832 Reform Bill, and “The Greatest Reformer of All”. This First Lord Brougham, and his greatest achieve- ment, were the very inspiration for the Reform Club . Michael Brougham, C.B.E., the current, Fifth, Lord Brougham &. Vaux, will officially open the exhibition to his illustrious forebear next Tuesday, the 28th., and Mr. Terry will give his much-anticipated talk, to a gathering of the Thac keray Society there, on Thursday, 30th.. The Reform Club was founded in Pall Mall - London’s traditional “Clubland” - in 1836, and its membership was limited to those who had pledged their support for the Reform Act four years earlier. They commissioned the noted architect Sir. Charles Barry to build their “imposing and palatial Clubhouse” on the lines of a Roman Palace — which, their website says, is “as splendid today as it was when it opened in 1841”. The Thackeray Society ‘honours’ William Makepeace Thackeray, the Nineteenth- Century novelist, of Vanity Fair fame, in the plural.

— Before Rebuildin g. ARTS OF The Flood-Stricken Brougham Old P Bridge may need to be brought down before being painstakingly rebuilt — assuming it doesn’t fall down first Bridging the Fact Gap? - to be replaced with only a footbridge — building specialists * In February 1822 the Carlisle appointed by Cumbria County Council believe. Patriot reported that a “Bridge by Using the same system as adopted for the Brougham Brougham Castle” was just one of the Hall-to-Chapel Bridge in 1991, and now underway on the many to fall during huge floods. That was perhaps wrong. It is Pele Tower at the Hall, all the structure around where there dated to 1812 by the British Listed Buildings Website - and this is damage would be dismantled, with cracked or otherwise is also backed -up now by recent mention of an 1813 dateplaque. compromised stonework removed and wholly replaced in the rebuilding work. Brougham Old Bridge which, we hear, bears an 1813 date-stone, but was erroneously thought in Hall N ews to be later, from reading an old news report *, was extensively undermined by the floodwaters six months ago, as these dramatic scenes by Christopher Terry readily show. Materials and machinery needed for a rebuild were despatched there before Easter, and ‘pontoon footpaths’ — which also appear to act as barriers to calm the waters — have been erected on either side of the Bridge. In an e-Mail to Hall News on Thursday, 19th. May, Mr. Terry wrote: “[This] selection of photographs [show] the extent of the damage to one of the buttresses at Brougham Bridge. From the photographs it would appear that some effort is being made to save this listed bridge.” The photographs in the opposite column were all taken by Mr. Terry on his way home on the evening of Wednesday 18th. May. He continues his message: — “The contractors have erected two pontoon footpaths either side of the bridge and they are extremely lucky with very low water on account of our not having had much rain for the last three or four weeks [mostly during May]. “It is self-evident, from these photographs, that it would be much cheaper to repair the existing bridge than to knock it down and clear away the resultant debris, doubt- less to the annoyance of the Environment Agency who would have responsibility for the quality of this salmon fish- ing river. You will see that a levy has been built to protect the damaged buttress. There is no evidence of the piers of the Roman Bridge which must have existed on the main road between Lancaster and Carlisle. However there is evidence, on late-Medieval maps, of a ford — and there’s a fairly clear ramp down to the area where the ford must have been.” Below: Hall News images from June 1994 show the Bridge as it was, and ‘dualling’ work on the A.66. road and its own bridge, nearby.

Annie posted photographs of the impressive new building at Redhills, west of Penrith, on her charity Face- book page - outside and from within - on Friday, 27 May. The Music Centre is nearing completion in good time for 2017, the popular and inspirational Sunbeams M usic Trust ’s 25th. Anniversary Year. Sunbeams were based at Brougham Hall between 2000 and 2005, before their top Patron granted them office space at Greystoke Castle. The Centre will certainly be the place to be for the re- gion’s budding musicians who live with various physical or other disabilities, or are otherwise disadvantaged in some way and just need help in getting along in life. On the charity’s website there is a fitting quote from the German novelist, scientist, playwright, musician, poet — and statesman — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, which is “Architecture is Frozen Music”, and this new building is certainly a bold statement of style, in both structure and in music … and also in its setting, as these photographs Above: Images from - or near - the gateway to the new taken on Easter Monday, 28th.

Right: A stack of 144 railway sleep- ers, which would have gone up in flames, along with a mass of rather unfortunate farm animals, are instead donated to the Hall Trust after Christopher Terry of- fered the use of “sanctuary land” near his home at Ivegill, Carlisle, during the infamous Foot and Mouth disease crisis of 2001.

The passageway, located be- tween the units of the S un- beams Music Trust and the recently-arrived Silk-Screen Printer Mark Huit, was en- closed when the Sunbeams unit was given its roof so it could host the Celtic Saints in Cumb ria exhibition staged there by Margaret Black- well, of the Alice ’s Wonder- land Doll and Toy Museum in Summer 2000, amid the Millennium in Eden festivities.
