  • Taplow History for TPC Website / Nigel Smales (10 February 2014)
    Taplow History for TPC Website / Nigel Smales (10 February 2014) Taplow is here because it is high. The story started some 10,000 years ago when Stone Age wanderers arrived on the southerly spur of the Chilterns to discover the perfect place for a settlement – a defensible hill complete with a freshwater pool mystical for being where none should be. They began one of the oldest settlements in England, possibly the oldest in Buckinghamshire. Their Bronze Age and Iron Age successors fortified the hilltop overlooking the River Thames, for centuries a frontier fought for by Saxons, Angles and Danes, eventually the natural boundary between Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. Sometime around 620, a burial mound was piled high in the south-west corner of the hill fort. There is no historical record of any Saxon, Angle or Viking lord called Tæppa but excavations in 1883 indicated that whoever was laid here was pagan and important, possibly a king or a prince stationed here to defend the frontier. His treasures are in the British Museum, still the third- richest find from England’s Dark Ages. The mystical pool is nearby. Legend has it that St Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxfordshire), came in about 635 to embrace Taplow’s ancient pagan pomp and circumstance by adopting this as a holy place for Christian baptism. It has long been known as Bapsey Pond. The original St Nicholas’ Church was built by the Mound in the late-7th Century, replaced after 600 years, relocated to its current site in 1828 and substantially rebuilt in 1912 to incorporate the chancel of 1865.

  • Landmarks Preservation Commission January 12, 2010, Designation List 425 LP-2343
    Landmarks Preservation Commission January 12, 2010, Designation List 425 LP-2343 311 BROADWAY BUILDING, 311 Broadway, Manhattan Built c. 1856-57; Architect not determined Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 151, Lot 31 On June 23, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 311 Broadway Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 14). The hearing was duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of Council Member Alan J. Gerson and the Historic Districts Council. The Commission previously held a public hearing on this building on December 12, 1989 (LP-1755). Summary This distinguished commercial building located on the west side of Broadway between Duane and Thomas Streets was erected c. 1856- 57 by John and Daniel Jackson Steward. The building is a fine example of Italian Renaissance-inspired commercial palaces that flourished from the 1850s through the 1870s in the former wholesale textile and dry goods district of lower Manhattan. In the mid- nineteenth century, Broadway was the city’s most prestigious business and shopping street, lined with commercial palaces. Clad in stone, the building is articulated with a restrained design employing symmetrical square-headed windows with stone surrounds at the upper stories. Today, few mid-nineteenth century commercial palaces have survived on Broadway south of Franklin Street, making the 311 Broadway Building a rare survivor. Constructed during a period when Worth Street emerged as a center of the wholesale textile trade in the United States, the 311 Broadway Building is a significant reminder of New York’s mercantile history.

  • Itinerary 2020
    Itinerary 2020 Great Heiresses How America saved the English country house and changed English society, taste and design Cliveden House – purchased by William Waldorf Astor in 1893, and a centre of high society in the 1920s and 30s Photo Cliveden House Overview We explore the remarkable story of American investment at the end of the 19th century which saved many of the great country houses from financial ruin, and had a lasting impact on English society. American tycoons and ‘dollar princesses’ were part of this phenomenon, and by 1914 over 300 American heiresses had married into the British aristocracy. We visit some of the glorious English country houses rescued or shaped by this wave of ‘Gilded Age’ investment, including Blenheim Palace, Highclere Castle (the real Downton Abbey), Cliveden, and Leeds Castle. On our journey we enjoy spectacular architecture, grand and extravagant design – and we discover the extraordinary life stories associated with the great estates, from railroad heiress Gloria Vanderbilt at Blenheim Palace, to Nancy Astor, the first woman to sit as a Member of Parliament.
