sps1955's photos

Completed 2003 to designs of Edward Cullinan Architects (structural engineers, Buro Happold). Between the pavilions can be seen the west end of the common room, with a glimpse of the sunken area that lights the basement and the walkways and stairs that connect the various levels; in the background is pavilion C.

Completed 2003 to designs of Edward Cullinan Architects (structural engineers, Buro Happold). The concave wall contains the entrance to the site from the car park; the gatehouse at the main pedestrian entrance is just visible on the right. Site plan: www.cms.cam.ac.uk/plan/ .

Completed 2003 to designs of Edward Cullinan Architects (structural engineers, Buro Happold). This building stands at the pedestrian entrance to the complex, on a narrow pathway running north from Clarkson Road. I wonder if the utilitarian security fencing was part of the architects' vision.

1990-92 to designs of Annand and Mustoe; subsequently incorporated into the layout of Edward Cullinan's Centre for Mathematical Sciences (site plan: www.cms.cam.ac.uk/plan/ ). The Buildings of England comments that "the plan is carefully thought out , in this case a residential block that is organized around a big central space used for discussions and demonstrations; but what a difference [from the later Cullinan-designed buildings ] in terms of clarity of form and expression". I suppose the style might be called neo-Victorian domestic.

Designed by John McAslan, engineered by Arup, and opened in 2012. Looking N at the exit that leads towards St Pancras International. The couple in the centre of the photo were eating their lunch, and showed no sign of moving, so must be regarded as a feature of the photo, rather than as an obstruction!

The church, with the exception of the W tower, was rebuilt in 1883 and equipped throughout with stained glass by C. E. Kempe, dating from c.1890 to 1905, mostly at the expense of the Chetwode family of nearby Oakley Park. This window commemorates the nearby battle of Blore Heath ; what the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography calls an "unreliable tradition" claims that Queen Margaret observed the battle from Mucklestone church tower.

The church, with the exception of the mid-C14 W tower, was rebuilt in 1883 to the designs of Lynam and Rickman of Stoke-on-Trent on the same plan as its predecessor. List description: list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1377621 . What the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography calls an "unreliable tradition" claims that Queen Margaret of Anjou (wife of Henry VI) observed the battle of Blore Heath (1459) from Mucklestone church tower, and, "witnessing the defeat of the Lancastrians, took flight, reversing the shoes on her carriage horses in order to evade pursuit." The anvil came from a forge that stood opposite the church and was traditionally the one used.

The church, with the exception of the W tower, was rebuilt in 1883 to the designs of Lynam and Rickman of Stoke-on-Trent on the same plan as its Georgian predecessor . It was equipped throughout with stained glass by C. E. Kempe, dating from c.1890 to 1905, mostly at the expense of the Chetwode family of nearby Oakley Park. Pevsner referred to the interior being in the "constant twilight" of Kempe's glass, although large trees in the churchyard to the south also contribute to the gloom. The N aisle has dormer windows, one of them just visible in this shot, and I wonder if these were installed as an afterthought, once it was seen how dark the interior was after the installation of the glass.

Seen from the churchyard. According to the list description , the right-hand section is C17, re-faced c.1730 (although I wonder myself whether this work could be somewhat earlier),* with a late C19 Gothic doorway inserted, and a partial rebuilding of c.1820-30 on the left. * To complicate things further, the rector applied in 1749 for permission to enlarge the house, apparently mostly at the rear, commenting that "thro’ length of time some part of" the house was "very much decayed and Dilapidated." His plans envisaged moving the door from the centre of the façade, between the two pilaster strips, to its current location: lichfieldbawdycourts.wordpress.com/2020/01/10/faculty-friday-mucklestone-rectory .

Powered by a 1600cc Standard 12 engine (a smaller unit from the Standard 10 was also available). Replaced by the first SS Jaguar in 1936 and therefore an ancestor of post-war Jaguars. On display in Victoria Square, Birmingham.
