The Tinker is swinging his fire-pot to make it burn, having placed his soldering-iron in it, and is proceeding to some corner or post, there to repair the saucepan he carries.—We commence with the most in- teresting edifice in our capital, THE TOWER OF LONDON; the fortress, the palace, and prison, in which so many events, connected with the history of our country, have transpired. The building with four towers in the centre is said to have been erected by William the Conqueror, and is the oldest part of the fortress. The small bell- tower in the front of our picture is that of the church of St. Peter's, (the tower being a parish itself,) on the Tower Green, erected in the reign of Edward I. Our view is taken from Tower Hill, near which was the scaffold on which so many have fallen. To the left of the picture stood the grand storehouse of William III., destroyed by fire, Nov. 1841. The Regalia is deposited here, and exhibited to the public, as is also the Horse Armoury.

  • The Construction of Northumberland House and the Patronage of Its Original Builder, Lord Henry Howard, 1603–14
    The Antiquaries Journal, 90, 2010,pp1 of 60 r The Society of Antiquaries of London, 2010 doi:10.1017⁄s0003581510000016 THE CONSTRUCTION OF NORTHUMBERLAND HOUSE AND THE PATRONAGE OF ITS ORIGINAL BUILDER, LORD HENRY HOWARD, 1603–14 Manolo Guerci Manolo Guerci, Kent School of Architecture, University of Kent, Marlowe Building, Canterbury CT27NR, UK. E-mail: [email protected] This paper affords a complete analysis of the construction of the original Northampton (later Northumberland) House in the Strand (demolished in 1874), which has never been fully investigated. It begins with an examination of the little-known architectural patronage of its builder, Lord Henry Howard, 1st Earl of Northampton from 1603, one of the most interesting figures of the early Stuart era. With reference to the building of the contemporary Salisbury House by Sir Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, the only other Strand palace to be built in the early seventeenth century, textual and visual evidence are closely investigated. A rediscovered eleva- tional drawing of the original front of Northampton House is also discussed. By associating it with other sources, such as the first inventory of the house (transcribed in the Appendix), the inside and outside of Northampton House as Henry Howard left it in 1614 are re-configured for the first time. Northumberland House was the greatest representative of the old aristocratic mansions on the Strand – the almost uninterrupted series of waterfront palaces and large gardens that stretched from Westminster to the City of London, the political and economic centres of the country, respectively. Northumberland House was also the only one to have survived into the age of photography.

  • Bute House the Offi Cial Residence of the First Minister of Scotland
    Bute House The offi cial residence of the First Minister of Scotland Bute House 20pp brochure 02.indd 1 17/07/2017 08:53 Welcome to Bute House ince I became First Minister, I have welcomed thousands of people to Bute House. As the official residence of the First Minister of Scotland, it is here that I host official guests from this country and overseas on behalf of the nation. Bute House is also the meeting place of the Scottish Cabinet and the venue for official functions including meetings, receptions, lunches and dinners. Within these walls, I get to bring together people from all walks of life through meetings with business leaders, public service employees and the voluntary sector, and receptions to celebrate all aspects of Scottish society and success. Every Christmas, I even get to welcome youngsters from around the country for an annual children’s party. All year round Bute House performs a dual role of both residence and place of work for the First Minister. All four of my predecessors lived here too, and their portraits line the wall of the staircase leading to the Cabinet Room. Before the Scottish Parliament was reconvened in 1999, Bute House was home to eight different Secretaries of State for Scotland from 1970 onwards. Many of the key conversations and decisions in recent Scottish political history have taken place within these walls. Even without its modern role, however, Bute House would be of significant historic interest. It was built in the late 18th century, and is at the heart of one of the great masterpieces of Georgian architecture – the north side of Robert Adam’s Charlotte Square.

Report Purchase of a cast silver bowl by Malcolm Appleby with enamelling by Jane Short 1. Recommendations 1.1 It is recommended that the Committee approves the purchase of a silver and enamel bowl by Malcolm Appleby and Jane Short. 2. Background 2.1 The Museum of Edinburgh has a fine collection of 18th and 19th century silver, made in Edinburgh and Canongate which is recognised as of National Significance by Museums Galleries Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government, but there are few pieces from the late 20th century and present day. Acquisitions of new work by contemporary silversmiths are an important part of ensuring that the collection continues to display work made in Edinburgh and its environs as part of a wider remit to collect contemporary applied art made in the city and East of Scotland and to ensure our collections remain relevant to future generations. 3 Main report 3.1 The following item by Malcolm Appleby is presented to the Committee for consideration: Malcolm Appleby Bowl Hurricane Force 12, 2016 H70mm x W120mm x D100mm Enamel and sterling silver Cast from engraving by Malcolm Appleby with enamelling by Jane Short Signed and dated on base Malcolm Appleby 04.11.15 £9,441 (including 10% Museum discount) Committee on the Jean F Watson Bequest - 30 November 2018 Page 2 3.2 Malcolm Appleby was born in 1946.

  • The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory
    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.

The evaluation was carried out in advance of development of the site for a new cryostore between Dawson Hall to the north and the Joseph Rotblat Building to the south. The evaluation was commissioned by Queen Mary University of London following recommendations from Historic England. The evaluation was recommended due to the site’s location within the former footprint of the eastern range of the cloister of the Carthusian Charterhouse founded in 1371. The site held potential to expose wall footings and floor surfaces related to this institution, as the door to monastic Cell S remains in situ from when it was excavated in the late 1950s. Four trial trenches were sited to cover the footprint of the proposed development and evaluate the depth and level of survival of archaeology. In the event no archaeological features were exposed in any of the four pits. Rather, natural ground was shown to be sealed below deep deposits of made-ground dating from the 16th century up to the 19th century.

Despite this, many people do not know about Gendered Intelligence and the important and unique work that we do across the UK. This Biennial Report offers a chance to tell you our story of what has been happening at Gendered Intelligence over the last two years. Here, you will read of our recent activities and achievements across our key aims. I hope this report will begin to disseminate the achievements that we have made to those from within the trans and LGBT community and voluntary sector, as well as the areas of education, health, children and families and in academic circles. It is crucial that we continue to work towards opening up opportunities for people, and in particularly young people, to express themselves and their gender identity in a way that feels right for them.

  • APTG GOES to the TOWER on 4 March Over Three Dozen Members of Twenty Different Travel Trade Organisations Came to See the Ceremony of the Keys As Guests of APTG
    APTG GOES TO THE TOWER On 4 March over three dozen members of twenty different travel trade organisations came to see the Ceremony of the Keys as guests of APTG. They were hosted by a dozen guides, allowing us to share a very fine evening at the Tower and giving us a chance to show our special relationship with HRP and the Yeoman Warders. We funded drinks in the Yeoman Warders’ Club and each guide was given an up to date briefing before the event. This meant we could take the opportunity to explain the breadth of our knowledge, skills and languages combined with the ease of booking via the GuideLondon website. This is one of the ways your Branch Council is bringing work opportunities to APTG members. The evening was an uplifting experience and Yeoman Warder John Donald was a witty and knowledgeable host. The Ceremony was carried out by Gurkhas, commanded there for the first time by a female officer. The final, perfect ending came when the salute was taken by the Constable of the APTG Chair Nick Hancock and Yeoman Warder John Donald Tower General Sir Nicholas Houghton who, in his final words, made specific mention of guides being guests that night. Truly we have friends in high places! Over £300 was raised by the THE TOWER COMES TO APTG raffle for YW chosen charities and Nick Hancock gave an Yeoman Warder and Tower extra £250 from the Guild and APTG. Ravenmaster Chris Skaife (left) gave an entertaining presentation to APTG members MEMBERS OPEN MEETINGS before the March Members’ The next Members Open Meeting will be on Tuesday 9 Open Meeting at the Unite April at 6:30 pm in the Unite Office, WC1X 8TN.
