Bewerley Old Hall, also known as the Priest's House, or in the early 20th century as Tudor House, is a historic building in Bewerley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. |
The house was built by Father Hicks in the late 16th or early 17th century, as the village's manor house. In 1681, it passed to the Inman family, and then in 1774 to John Yorke. In 1815, a new hall was built, and the old hall became the house of its gardener. To its east side were two large walled gardens, one with box hedges in the Elizabethan style, which was removed in 1975. The house was grade II* listed in 1952, but views differ on its merits: Historic England research records describe it as "of little architectural merit", but Nikolaus Pevsner described it as a "fine C17 house". |
The house has a timber-framed core, and is in gritstone, with a moulded string course, and a stone slate roof with gable copings, and shaped kneelers. There are two storeys and three bays, and an additional later two-storey porch with a hipped roof. The ground floor of the porch is open, with two Tuscan columns, and it contains chamfered mullioned windows. The doorway has a chamfered quoined surround, and the windows are recessed, with chamfered mullions and hood moulds. Inside, the porch ceiling has a relief of a woman in 17th century clothing, while the house has original fireplaces, and much early plasterwork. |

Octavi Aballí Aballí (1883 – 20 March 1948) was a Spanish footballer who played as a midfielder for RCD Espanyol. Later he was a doctor. |
Born in Matanzas, Cuba, his family moved to Barcelona so that he could continue his studies. At the turn of the century, Aballí began to practice football, a sport relatively unknown at the time, at the Velódromo de la Bonanova with some friends and other young university students. In late 1900, the 17-year-old Aballí, together with two classmates from the university, Ángel Rodríguez and Luis Roca, created a football team that was officially established on 28 October 1900 as the "Sociedad Española de Fútbol", which is now known as RCD Espanyol. The club's board of directors was subsequently elected and Aballí was named as its treasurer, a position he held for just one season (1900–01). |
Together with Ángel Ponz, Luciano Lizárraga, Telesforo Álvarez, and Rodríguez, he represented Espanyol in the very first Spanish club to win an official title, the 1900–01 Copa Macaya, which was the first football competition played on the Iberian Peninsula. However, he only played in one match, on 27 January 1901 against FC Barcelona, which ended in a 1–4 loss. |
Aballí kept playing for Espanyol until 1905, when he began appearing in formations of the reserve team. He remained loyal to the club until 1905, when Español had to suspend its activities due to a lack of players since most of them were university students who enrolled to study at universities outside Catalonia in the 1905–06 academic year. Most of the remaining players, including Joaquim Carril, Ángel Ponz, and goalkeeper Pedro Gibert, joined the ranks of X Sporting Club, but Aballí decided to retire instead. |
International career. |
On 15 September 1902, Aballí went down in history as one of the 22 footballers who played in the very first match of the Barcelona City Team, a precursor to the Catalan national team, starting in a 3–3 draw with a team from Tiana at their field, on the occasion of the festivities of that town. |

Stubbylee Hall, formerly known as Bacup Town Hall, is a former municipal building in Stubbylee Lane in Bacup, a town in Lancashire in England. The building, which served as the offices and meeting place of Bacup Borough Council, is a grade II listed building. |
The building was commissioned as a private house by the Holt family, in the early 19th century. The senior member of the family at that time was James Holt, a local baize manufacturer. It was designed in the neoclassical style built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1808. It was enlarged in 1872, under the ownership of the member of parliament, James Maden Holt. |
Following significant population growth, largely associated with textile manufacturing, a local board of health was established in Bacup in 1863. The area was then incorporated as a municipal borough in 1882. The borough council initially established a council chamber and an office for the town clerk in the market hall on the corner of Bank Street and Lord Street. |
In 1914, Stubbylee Hall was purchased by Bacup Borough Council, using money donated by Miles Ashworth. Ashworth was the first President of the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers Society. In accordance with Ashworth's wishes, the grounds of the hall were laid out as a public park, and the house was converted for municipal purposes. The town hall continued to serve as the headquarters of the borough council for much of the 20th century, and remained the meeting place for the enlarged Rossendale Borough Council which was formed in 1974. |
In the early 2000s, the council moved to Hardman's Mill in Rawtenstall, and the hall was left vacant. A stag's head which for many years had been on display in the hall was recovered from storage and returned to its original place on the staircase in 2006. In August 2018, Valley Heritage was contracted to identify potential future uses for the building. |
The two-storey hall is built of sandstone, with a slate roof. It is in the neoclassical style, and has a symmetrical five-bay front, with the outermost bays slightly projecting as curved wings. The centre bay is also slightly projected forward, and features a porch formed by Ionic order pilasters supporting an entablature and a balcony. The centre bay incorporates a French door on the first floor, while the curved wings are fenestrated by sash windows. Inside, there is a stone staircase under a moulded plaster ceiling, with a domed skylight incorporating stained glass. Early furnishings in the building include cupboards and built-in bookcases. The building was grade II listed in 1968. |
Torbung Bangla (or Bangla) is a village in the geographical precincts of Churachandpur district in Manipur, India. It is populated mostly by Meitei people who regard themselves as being part of Bishnupur district. |
The village was originally called Boljang, with an educational sericulture farm established here. At present, the village is a site of contestation between the majority Kuki-Zo people of the Churachandpur district and the Meitei people that dominate the state of Manipur. During the 2023–2024 Manipur violence, the village was almost entirely burnt down by Kuki mobs. |
The Torbung Bangla village is on the Tedim Road between Torbung and Churachandpur, in the Khuga River valley (also called "Lamka plain"). Immediately to its south is the village of Kaprang. Snuggled between the two is another small village called Waikhurok. Waikhurok and Bangla are populated by Meitei people, whereas Kaprang appears to be populated by Kuki-Zo people. |
The village is watered by streams diverted from the Torbung river as soon as it enters the plains, from near the Pengjang village. |
The village continues to be marked as "Boljang" in the Survey of India data. |
The village of Boljang was likely present since the time of Indian independence. In 1959–1960, it was noted to have a private lower primary school, one of 149 such schools in the tribal areas that were recognised by the Government of Manipur. In 1964–1965, an experimental sericulture farm was established in the village by the Government of Manipur to popularise non-Mulberry silkworm rearing. In 1969, oak tasar silk was introduced by the Central Tasar Research & Training Institute of Ranchi. The sericulture farm still exists, and it is still mentioned as being in the Boljang village. |
From 2000 onwards, the village of Boljang began to be overtaken by the newer village of Torbung Bangla. In 2005, a resident of the village submitted testimony to the AFSPA review committee. |
In 2009, a driver from the village was abducted by armed miscreants, and the villagers claimed that the abductors were security forces themselves. |
In 2013, an IED in a roadside culvert killed a security personnel of Gorkha Rifles and injured two others. The security forces suspected the hand of the People's Liberation Army of Manipur (PLA), whose members were believed to be taking shelter in the village. |
Another bomb blast occurred in January 2015 near the 27 Sector Assam Rifles camp. The PLA claimed credit for the blast. It was said to have been part of the "bycott" against the celebration of India's Republic Day. |
In May 2016, another IED was discovered near a post of the Border Security Force (BSF) and it was safely detonated by the bomb disposal squad. |
Hills–Valley divide. |
Scholar Rohlua Puia notes that the hills–valley distinction in Manipur is political rather than geographical. The hill districts and the valley areas have different administrative systems. The Kuki-majority areas in particular have villages headed by chiefs, as per their traditional custom. The land of the village is owned by the chief and the residents pay only house tax. In contrast, the valley areas have private land-ownership and the owners pay land revenue. A village like Torbung Bangla, where the valley population resides in a hill district (Churachandpur) produces an anomaly. The villagers of Torbung Bangla, despite living in the geographical precincts of a hill district, desire to be treated as belonging to a valley district (Bishnupur). Their land revenue records are maintained in the valley district, while the remainder of administration lies in the hill district. |
However, it is noticed that Torbung Bangla and Waikhurok vote for the "gram panchayat" (village council) of Torbung. |
There may be an effort to enlarge the boundaries of the valley district to encompass such villages. |
