Oxfordshire Oxford University Oxford University is the place of several Hogwarts scenes. The Great Hall at Hogwarts was modelled on the Great Hall at Christchurch College. Hogwarts' Great Hall is actually a closed set at Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire. It is where the dining scenes are shot. Christchurch College's grand 16th century stone staircase, which leads to its Great Hall, was used as Hogwarts’ staircase. Oxford University’s famous Bodleian Library starred in three of the Harry Potter films. The medieval Duke Humfrey's Library was used as the Hogwarts library and the elaborately vaulted Divinity School became Hogwart’s infirmary. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the Hogwarts quad where Harry warns Cedric about the dragons and Malfoy is turned into a ferret is actually the cloister quadrangle at New College, Oxford. Woodstock In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry uses occlumency on Severus Snape and sees a flashback of his father as a teenager bullying Snape.

  • Advice from Buckinghamshire County Council to Aylesbury Vale District Council Concerning Changes to Housing Allocations
    Advice from Buckinghamshire County Council to Aylesbury Vale District Council concerning changes to housing allocations Summary Following the VALP Examination in Public, AVDC and BCC commissioned additional transport modelling reports to further examine points raised during the EiP and in the Inspector’s Interim Conclusions which were: - BUC051 had been omitted from the Countywide modelling Phase 3 work - Concerns about the impact on Buckingham Town Centre of BUC051, and whether without mitigation BUC051 could be released on a phased basis - The need to identify additional housing sites This Advice Note sets out Buckinghamshire County Council’s view concerning the above issues taking into account the transport modelling work, previous planning applications and their transport assessments as well as our local knowledge of the transport network. Buckingham In relation to Buckingham, our view is that the detailed town centre modelling shows that BUC051 would have an unacceptable impact on the town centre, even if the development was phased. The only mitigation to congestion in the town centre that we have been able to identify is the Western Relief Road, as set out in the Buckingham Transport Strategy. However, it has been acknowledged that the scale of the proposed BUC051 allocation would be insufficient to provide funding for this mitigation measure. One option would be to increase the size of the allocation in order that the development was able to deliver the relief road. However, this would lead to a much larger allocation at Buckingham resulting in further modelling work being required to assess the potential impact on the A421. This suggestion does not take into account any site constraints such as flood risk.

  • Commerce and Exchange Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary
    Commerce and Exchange Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https:// www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of-selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide treats commercial buildings. These range from small local shops to huge department stores, from corner pubs to Victorian ‘gin palaces’, from simple sets of chambers to huge speculative office blocks.

It will be valid until 2033. A Neighbourhood Plan is only concerned with land use and development, not community facilities directly, although it can be used to propose detailed actions and use of S106 agreements by directing funding as suggested during the evidence gathering. This Plan is not intended to simply restrict or prevent development occurring in the Parish, but will focus the local Planning Authority’s attention on the wishes of us, the residents, in the development of Wendover. It will serve as an aide to help developers focus on the requisites for successful and appropriate development, sympathetic to our Parish, the history and setting within the Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

  • Winter 2020/21 Newsletter
    East Sussex Hearing Winter 2020/21 Newsletter SEASONS GREETINGS! Our lovely new Eastbourne Centre! As winter approaches we are hopeful that the New Year will bring good news for everyone… turn over to find out more about our hopes and plans for 2021 Registered Charity No: 1101140 Hello from your CEO David Rowan Well, what an eventful year it has been. It started off like most New Year’s do, very quiet. Then, in mid-February we started to hear of cases of a new virus in China that was initially thought to be localised and similar to the SARS virus of 2003. It quickly became apparent that this was a completely different virus and far more infectious. Within a matter of weeks, the virus had spread beyond China and we ultimately ended up with the Coronavirus pandemic that has gone on to effect most, if not all countries in the world. We then went into our first 12-week lockdown and our Centre had to close its doors to the public for the very first time. All our outreach activities were cancelled including lipreading and sign language classes, support groups and our hearing aid maintenance service. However, a skeleton staff continued to work from the office providing vital support and information to clients by telephone, text and email. We also started our new “hearing aid batteries by post” service which we have continued to provide ever since, and will carry on doing until a more ‘normal’ life returns. However, this year has not been all doom and gloom. It was towards the end of the first lockdown that we realised we wouldn’t be able to resume our classes and equipment demonstrations from St Leonards Road because of the new covid distancing requirements and so we took the 2 plunge and moved into new, bright, comfortable and spacious premises in Chantry House, just a short walk from St Leonards Road.

  • High Wycombe
    Public Health Community Board Profile 2020 – High Wycombe Why are communities important for our health? The community we live in is one of the most important factors for our health. We thrive in communities with strong social ties, a feeling of togetherness and a sense of belonging. Our local social, economic and physical environment can affect our health directly, the health behaviours we adopt such as being physically active, and sometimes whether we access health and care services. The local environment we live in is vitally important throughout the whole of our life course, from before we are born right up until the end of our lives. The indicators included in this Community Board Profile are all important markers of the health and wellbeing of your community, and highlight areas where things are going well but also importantly where improvements can be made. Strong communities will be a key driver for recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please note that this profile is a high level overview of health and wellbeing indicators from existing data. Communities will have more intelligence on local issues and assets which can be incorporated into the full picture of local needs and how they can best be met. The people in your community It is important to understand who lives in your community to understand their health and wellbeing. Factors such as age, ethnicity and level of deprivation influence our physical and mental health. Understanding these factors may help decide which interventions may be needed to improve the overall health and wellbeing of the community.

  • The Custom House
    THE CUSTOM HOUSE The London Custom House is a forgotten treasure, on a prime site on the Thames with glorious views of the river and Tower Bridge. The question now before the City Corporation is whether it should become a luxury hotel with limited public access or whether it should have a more public use, especially the magnificent 180 foot Long Room. The Custom House is zoned for office use and permission for a hotel requires a change of use which the City may be hesitant to give. Circumstances have changed since the Custom House was sold as part of a £370 million job lot of HMRC properties around the UK to an offshore company in Bermuda – a sale that caused considerable merriment among HM customs staff in view of the tax avoidance issues it raised. SAVE Britain’s Heritage has therefore worked with the architect John Burrell to show how this monumental public building, once thronged with people, can have a more public use again. SAVE invites public debate on the future of the Custom House. Re-connecting The City to the River Thames The Custom House is less than 200 metres from Leadenhall Market and the Lloyds Building and the Gherkin just beyond where high-rise buildings crowd out the sky. Who among the tens of thousands of City workers emerging from their offices in search of air and light make the short journey to the river? For decades it has been made virtually impossible by the traffic fumed canyon that is Lower Thames Street. Yet recently for several weeks we have seen a London free of traffic where people can move on foot or bike without being overwhelmed by noxious fumes.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by East Sussex County Council [ASC 021]
    Written evidence submitted by East Sussex County Council [ASC 021] • How has Covid-19 changed the landscape for long-term funding reform of the adult social care sector? The challenges facing the adult social care market prior to the pandemic are well documented and, in many cases, have been brought into sharp focus over the last 12 months. Local Authority published rates; contract arrangements (e.g. block arrangements); commissioning approaches (e.g. strategic partners) and CCG funding agreements including Better Care Fund allocations are all key funding reform considerations which sit alongside the necessity to offer choice, personalised care and high quality, safe services. Residential and nursing care There are 306 registered care homes in East Sussex – the majority are small independently run homes, which don’t have the wrap-around organisational infrastructure enjoyed by larger / national providers. In East Sussex, Local Authority placements are made across around one-third of the residential and nursing care market. At the peak of the second wave over 100 care homes in East Sussex were closed to admissions due to Covid outbreaks. Week commencing 04/01/21 there were 853 confirmed cases of Covid19 in East Sussex care home settings. During 2021, as of the week ending 19/03/2021, East Sussex has had 2,404 deaths registered in total and 1,110 of these have been attributable to COVID-19, of which 597 have occurred in hospital and 436 have occurred in care homes (LG reform data). In the two years up to April 2019, there were 26 residential and nursing home closures in East Sussex resulting in a loss of 435 beds, across all care groups.

  • 1 Draft Paper Elisabete Mendes Silva Polytechnic Institute of Bragança
    Draft paper Elisabete Mendes Silva Polytechnic Institute of Bragança-Portugal University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Portugal [email protected] Power, cosmopolitanism and socio-spatial division in the commercial arena in Victorian and Edwardian London The developments of the English Revolution and of the British Empire expedited commerce and transformed the social and cultural status quo of Britain and the world. More specifically in London, the metropolis of the country, in the eighteenth century, there was already a sheer number of retail shops that would set forth an urban world of commerce and consumerism. Magnificent and wide-ranging shops served householders with commodities that mesmerized consumers, giving way to new traditions within the commercial and social fabric of London. Therefore, going shopping during the Victorian Age became mandatory in the middle and upper classes‟ social agendas. Harrods Department store opens in 1864, adding new elements to retailing by providing a sole space with a myriad of different commodities. In 1909, Gordon Selfridge opens Selfridges, transforming the concept of urban commerce by imposing a more cosmopolitan outlook in the commercial arena. Within this context, I intend to focus primarily on two of the largest department stores, Harrods and Selfridges, drawing attention to the way these two spaces were perceived when they first opened to the public and the effect they had in the city of London and in its people. I shall discuss how these department stores rendered space for social inclusion and exclusion, gender and race under the spell of the Victorian ethos, national conservatism and imperialism.

  • The Desecrated Churches of Buckinghamshire
    THE DESECRATED CHURCHES OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. DEANERY OF BUCKINGHAM (CONTINUED FROM FAGE 69.) BUCKINGHAM. — St. John's Chapel. — Addenda. —This Chapel, having been fitted up with seats from the old Church, was used for Divine Service from A.D. 1770 to A.D. 1780, during the erection of the present Parish Church, which was consecrated in the latter year. In the year 1781 it became used for a Sunday School, which is supposed to have been the second Sunday School established in England. This school, though not at first in connection with the Church, was afterwards merged in the National Schools which were established A.D. 1819. 2.—At BORETON, a hamlet in the parish of Buckingham, there was a house with a large arched doorway standing in Willis's time, which was said to have been a Chapel. This tradition was strongly supported, if not confirmed, by the fact that the ground around the house was found to contain the remains of human bodies. 3.—GAWCOT, another hamlet of Buckingham, formerly possessed a Chapel dedicated to St. Catherine, the site of which is commemorated by a field, named Chapel Close, and the lane leading to it bearing the name of Chapel Lane. No remains of the Chapel existed in Browne Willis's time; and this hamlet, more than a mile from the Parish Church, and containing a population of six or seven hundred, was left destitute of a house of prayer by the destruction of the Chapel, for probably some centuries. In 1806, a new Chapel was built and endowed by Mr.
