But the best glass is in the chancel, depicting St George and St Edmund above a landscape of Suvla Bay, and is by William Aikman in 1925. St Edmund and St George remember Edmund Gay, who was a soldier in the infamous 1st/5th Battalion of the Norfolk Regiment. Largely recruited from farmworkers on estates in north Norfolk, they sailed for Gallipolli, and were wiped out during the attack on Anafarta in Suvla Bay on the 12th August 1915. Because they had fallen behind enemy lines, they were listed as missing, and a Norfolk legend grew up that they had vanished into a mysterious cloud and were taken up out of this world. This sounds bizarre, but it was of a piece with legends like the Angel of Mons leading the British troops to escape death in Flanders, and with the great rise in spiritualism in this country in the years immediately after the War. [...] Many of the dead boys were workers from the Sandringham estate, and when the bodies were eventually found and identified this knowledge was kept from Queen Alexandra, because it was felt that the truth would be too upsetting for her. Thus, she died believing the legend.
Simon Knott, from St George, Aldborough

DUNCOMBE PARK
Hi guys!!
I'm sharing Duncombe Park. This is the 8th building for my English Manors Collection, and I will add many more!
House History: Duncombe Park is the seat of the Duncombe family who previously held the title Earls of Feversham. The title became extinct on the death of the 3rd Earl in 1963, since when the family have continued to hold the title Baron Feversham.
The house was completed in 1713 for Thomas Duncombe (born Thomas Brown) to designs by the Yorkshire gentleman-architect William Wakefield. It was remodelled in 1843 by Sir Charles Barry. In 1879 the main block was gutted by fire and remained a ruin until 1895 when rebuilding was carried out by William Young. The reconstruction was based on the original design, though there were changes made, especially in the interior layout to meet contemporary needs. It is of two storeys with a basement and attic.
In 1694 Charles Duncombe, one of the richest commoners in England, bought the 40,000-acre (16,000 ha) Helmsley estate, occasionally staying at the castle. After his death in 1711 it passed to his sister Ursula and from her to her son Thomas Brown, who changed his name to Thomas Duncombe and commissioned the building of the present house. On his death in 1746 it passed to his son, Thomas Duncombe II, who extended the grounds to include the Rievaulx Terrace. In 1774, Anne Duncombe, daughter of Thomas Duncombe of Duncombe Park was married to Robert Shafto, of Whitworth Hall, near Spennymoor, County Durham, the famous "Bonny Bobby Shaftoe" of the folk song.
In the late 1700s the estate was owned by Thomas' son, Charles Slingsby Duncombe, who was succeeded in 1803 by his eldest son and heir Charles Duncombe, 1st Baron Feversham. Charles was MP for Shaftesbury, Aldborough, Heytesbury and Newport IoW and High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1790–91. He built up a considerable art collection at the house and was made 1st Baron Feversham in 1826. His son William succeeded him and was MP for Yorkshire and after 1832 for the new North Riding constituency. William's son William Ernest was created the 1st Earl of Feversham. The second Earl was killed in the First World War and the earldom became extinct on the death of the third earl in 1963.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This house fits a 64x64 lot and features a great room, a formal dining room and a daily breakfast room, a great library, his and hers bedrooms, a great staris, a ballroom, and many others!.
This time I decorated most of the rooms for picture purposes, but as allways, you can make it your own!
The groung floor is suposed to be for service, and it is not finished. Nor are the side structures, that are actually for decorative purpose as I could not fit the real structure in the lot.
The main house could fit a 50x50 and a 50x40 lot aswell, but you will lose the decorative sides.
Hope you like it.
Be warned: I did not have the floor plan for the 2nd floor nor pictures of most of the inside and worked on an old proposed floorplan for the residence.
You will need the usual CC I use: all of Felixandre, The Jim, SYB, Anachrosims, Regal Sims, TGS, The Golden Sanctuary, Cliffou, Dndr recolors, etc.
Please enjoy, comment if you like it and share pictures with me if you use my creations!
Early access: August 15.

Aldborough House, Dublin, built 1795 for Edward Stratford, 2nd Earl of Aldborough.
It was the last great Georgian Mansion built in Dublins inner city before the 1801 Act of Union. Today it is the largest Georgian residence in the city after Leinster House (original home to the Dukes of Leinster, the White House is modelled after it, and now home to the Irish Parliament.) Vacant for most of the 21st century. 2021 ‘Top 10 Most-at-Risk' in Ireland.

“Boys Accused of Theft As Ride to North Ends,” Toronto Globe. November 9, 1932. Page 10. ---- (Special Despatch to The Globe.) St. Thomas, Nov. 8. - A ride to the wilds of Northern Ontario essayed by a 15-year-old Aldborough Township boy and an 18-year-old youth from Sandwich came to a sorry end in Police Court today when they appeared before Magistrate C. P. Maxwell and pleaded guilty to theft of two valuable horses from J. R. Dubs, and John Engrettes, of the Rodney district, and a saddle from Norman J. Ford. They were remanded for a week, that the Court may make inquiries. The boys were apprehended after a chase across fields by a posse of farmers headed by County Constable A. J. Wehlann Monday afternoon. One of the horses was found blanketed and tied to a tree at the edge of a wooded swamp known as ‘Skunk’s Misery,’ when the posse met the other horse galloping toward home. The older boy is said to have concocted the idea of riding to Northern Ontario, where he has relatives. In Police Court he declared his willingness to assume full responsibility, stating that he had induced his companion to steal the horses and start on the long trip.

Daylight Analysis Abbey Wood: Enhancing Building Performance and User Comfort
youtube
Daylight is an essential element in architectural design that significantly impacts building performance and user comfort. Daylight analysis is a valuable tool that enables architects, engineers, and building owners to evaluate the quality and quantity of natural light in buildings. With the growing demand for sustainable building design, daylight analysis has become increasingly important in achieving energy efficiency and creating comfortable and healthy indoor environments. This article will discuss the benefits of daylight analysis in building design, particularly in Abbey Wood, and how Anstey Horne can assist in optimizing daylight performance.
Benefits of Daylight Analysis Daylight analysis provides critical information about the amount and distribution of natural light that enters a building. This data can help architects and engineers to optimize building orientation, façade design, and window placement to achieve maximum daylight penetration while minimizing heat gain and glare. Daylight analysis can also be used to evaluate the impact of shading devices, such as blinds, curtains, or exterior louvers, on daylight performance.
Another benefit of daylight analysis is its role in improving energy efficiency. By optimizing natural lighting, building owners can reduce the need for artificial lighting, which can account for up to 40% of a building's energy consumption. This reduction in artificial lighting also translates to a decrease in cooling loads, resulting in lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions.
Daylight analysis can also contribute to creating comfortable and healthy indoor environments. Natural light has been proven to positively impact human well-being, mood, and productivity. Daylight analysis can assist in achieving optimal lighting levels and minimizing glare and contrast, resulting in a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.
Daylight Analysis in Abbey Wood Abbey Wood is an area in southeast London that has experienced significant development in recent years, particularly with the completion of the Crossrail project. With this growth, there is a need for sustainable building design that integrates daylight analysis to optimize energy efficiency and user comfort.
In Abbey Wood, daylight analysis can help achieve the following:
Optimize Building Orientation: By analyzing the sun path and daylight availability in Abbey Wood, architects, and engineers can optimize building orientation to maximize natural light penetration while minimizing heat gain and glare. This can result in energy-efficient buildings that provide a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.
Improve Façade Design: Daylight analysis can help evaluate façade design options and select the most suitable materials and glazing systems to achieve optimal daylight performance. This can result in buildings that are aesthetically pleasing, energy-efficient, and provide a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.
Evaluate Shading Devices: Abbey Wood experiences a moderate climate with occasional heat waves, which can result in excessive solar heat gain and glare. Daylight analysis can help evaluate the impact of shading devices on daylight performance and select the most suitable shading systems that minimize heat gain and glare while maximizing natural light penetration.
Anstey Horne and Daylight Analysis Anstey Horne is a leading consultancy firm that provides a range of services, including daylight analysis, to assist architects, engineers, and building owners in achieving sustainable building design.

Party Wall Surveyors in Abbey Wood: Why You Need Them
youtube
If you're planning on carrying out building work on your property, you must understand the implications of the Party Wall, etc. Act 1996. This legislation requires that you give notice to your neighbors of any works that could potentially affect the shared boundary wall or party wall, as well as any adjacent structures. Failure to comply with the Act could result in costly legal disputes, so you must get in touch with party wall surveyors in Abbey Wood to ensure that your project is legally compliant.
What are Party Wall Surveyors? Party wall surveyors are professionals who have the expertise to advise you on the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. They can provide you with guidance on the notification process, help you draft the correct notices, and ensure that your project is legally compliant. They can also provide advice on any disputes that may arise, acting as an impartial third party to resolve conflicts between you and your neighbors.
Why Do You Need Party Wall Surveyors? It's important to note that the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is a legal requirement. Failure to comply with the Act could result in an injunction to halt work, as well as potentially costly legal proceedings. By appointing a party wall surveyor in Abbey Wood, you can ensure that you comply with the Act and avoid any legal disputes.
Notifying Your Neighbours The first step in complying with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is to give notice to your neighbors. This should be done at least two months before the works are due to commence. The notice should provide details of the works you plan to carry out, the proposed start date, and any potential impact on the shared boundary wall or party wall. It should also include a statement outlining the rights and obligations of both you and your neighbor under the Act.
Your neighbor then has 14 days to respond to the notice. If they do not respond within this time, they are deemed to have dissented, and a dispute resolution process is triggered. If a dispute arises, you must seek the advice of a party wall surveyor to help resolve the conflict.
Party Wall Awards If your neighbor consents to the works, you can proceed with your project. However, if they dissent, you'll need to appoint a party wall surveyor to prepare a party wall award. This is a legal document that sets out the details of the works to be carried out, including the scope of the works, the timescale, and any additional requirements. The award will also include a schedule of conditions, which details the current state of the shared boundary wall or party wall.
The party wall award is legally binding, and both you and your neighbor will be required to comply with its terms. Your party wall surveyor will act as an impartial third party, ensuring that the award is fair and reasonable to both parties.
Conclusion If you're planning on carrying out building works that could potentially affect the shared boundary wall or party wall, you must comply with the Party Wall, etc. Act 1996. By appointing a party wall surveyor in Abbey Wood, you can ensure that you comply with the Act and avoid any legal disputes.
