The beautiful and historic surroundings of Bradfield and its 15th Century church within the Peak District National Park are the backdrop to our annual Festival that celebrates great classical and contemporary music from some of the world's finest music-makers. A concert here is a very special experience. This lovely building has a fine immediate acoustic, and music heard at this intimate range has real impact and presence. There is much to enjoy in Sheffield and the surrounding Peak District, so much so that some of our concertgoers from far and wide visit the Festival as part of their annual holiday. One of our most cherished aims is to make great classical music completely approachable, enjoyable and entertaining; never 'high-brow' or elitist. We make sure our concerts are always welcoming occasions for friends to meet, enjoy first class music and chat over a glass of wine or an ice cream in the interval. The informal atmosphere of our venue makes it easy to remove the barrier between the audience and performers. This is our twentieth Festival since its revival in 1998 and, looking back over those years, it is amazing how many artists have appeared at Bradfield. In 2016 the number of Patron applications reached an all time high and ticket sales for the whole week were, once again, outstanding. Thank you to everyone who supports the Festival; this support has made the Festival what it is today. Festival 2017 promises to be very special with an array of international vocalists and instrumentalists including a former BBC bachtrack Young Musician of the Year, an award winning Korean violinist, one of this country's leading chamber ensembles, a string quartet from Full artist programme New York City, a premier brass ensemble with an outstanding information available at organist, a top-class UK jazz singer with a Memphis-born blues www.bachtrack.com keyboard player, three outstanding young opera singers and an ensemble presenting classical music in a folk and gypsy style.

  • The Coach House Middlewood Hall | Mowson Lane | Worrall | Sheffield | S35 0AY the COACH HOUSE
    The Coach House Middlewood Hall | Mowson Lane | Worrall | Sheffield | S35 0AY THE COACH HOUSE Middlewood Hall is set in a private, rural position and we were initially attracted by the peace and solitude offered by the property. Approached via a long-shared driveway and surrounded by 60 acres of green belt, it’s always a pleasure to come home and relax at the end of a busy day,” say the vendors. A classic early C19 Grade II listed hall once set in 54 acres of stunning parkland and woodland. Originally commissioned in 1810 for a family of Sheffield steel forgers and later a luxury hotel, this splendid coach house is now available to purchase separately offering a feel of stately grandeur for reasons not least of which as it retains a stunning approach through beautiful parkland via a long drive studded with mature trees and with a wooded backdrop and distant views. Through substantial stone gate piers this beautiful mellow sandstone home resides by a paddock, landscaped gardens, outbuildings and double garage. Five bedrooms and lofty reception rooms are arranged around a superb two storey galleried dining hall, with beams exposed to the ridge and where light cascades through its massive stone archway with delicate lunette windows and French doors. There is fine detail all around. Neat coursed, hand tooled mellow sandstone walls sit beneath natural graded stone roof slates. Original openings are generous and flood the property with light and further styled with Oeil-de-boeuf and Oculus windows to the elevations and gable, each subtly framed with carved stone cavetto moldings.

A Conservation Area is defined as an area of ‘special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’ (Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990). Each Conservation Area has a unique character shaped by a combination of elements including buildings, materials, spaces, trees, street plan, history and economic background. The aim of Conservation Area designation is to ensure that this character is not destroyed or undermined by inappropriate changes. Conservation Areas in the Peak District National Park There are 109 Conservation Areas in the National Park. Most contain groups of traditional buildings. Others include Historic Parks and Gardens, such as Lyme Park, or industrial sites, such as Cressbrook Mill. Conservation Areas generally have an aesthetic quality that makes them desirable places in which to live.

  • The Stabbing of George Harry Storrs
    THE STABBING OF GEORGE HARRY STORRS JONATHAN GOODMAN $15.00 THE STABBING OF GEORGE HARRY STORRS BY JONATHAN GOODMAN OCTOBER OF 1910 WAS A VINTAGE MONTH FOR murder trials in England. On Saturday, the twenty-second, after a five-day trial at the Old Bailey in London, the expatriate American doctor Hawley Harvey Crippen was found guilty of poi­ soning his wife Cora, who was best known by her stage name of Belle Elmore. And on the following Monday, Mark Wilde entered the dock in Court Number One at Chester Castle to stand trial for the stabbing of George Harry Storrs. He was the second person to be tried for the murder—the first, Cornelius Howard, a cousin of the victim, having earlier been found not guilty. The "Gorse Hall mystery," as it became known from its mise-en-scene, the stately residence of the murdered man near the town of Stalybridge in Cheshire, was at that time almost twelve months old; and it had captured the imagination of the British public since the morning of November 2, 1909, when, according to one reporter, "the whole country was thrilled with the news of the outrage." Though Storrs, a wealthy mill-owner, had only a few weeks before erected a massive alarm bell on the roof of Gorse Hall after telling the police of an attempt on his life, it did not save him from being stabbed to death by a mysterious intruder. Storrs died of multiple wounds with­ out revealing anything about his attacker, though it was the impression of [Continued on back flap] THE STABBING OF GEORGE HARRY STORRS THE STABBING OF JONATHAN GOODMAN OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS COLUMBUS Copyright © 1983 by the Ohio State University Press All rights reserved.
