Places of interest in South Kensington, SW7
As the best known building within the cultural complex known as Albertopolis, the Hall is commonly and erroneously thought to lie within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The Hall is actually within the area of the City of Westminster, although the postal address is Kensington Gore, and the Hall is less than 100 metres from Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea borough lines. The site was part of the former Kensington Gore estate which was historically part of Knightsbridge. However it is in the Westminster borough.
The popularity of the Prince Consort led to the creation of several other "Albert Memorials" around the United Kingdom. The Kensington memorial was not, however, the earliest one; the first to be erected was Thomas Worthington's Albert MemorialGrade I in Albert Square, Manchester, which was unveiled in 1865, some seven years prior to London's monument. Both memorials present the figure of Prince Albert enclosed within a Medieval-style ciborium, and the similarities of design have been remarked on.[4]
The College has an international reputation for its teaching in the fields of architecture, automotive design, photography, industrial design, communication design, interaction design, fashion, ceramics and silversmithing. An M.A. in design history is offered in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum, while an M.A. in Innovation Design Engineering is offered jointly with Imperial College London.
Hackney was a parish in the ancient county of Middlesex. The parish church of St John-at-Hackney, was built in 1789, replacing the nearby former 16th century parish church dedicated to St Augustine (pulled down in 1798). The original tower of that church was retained to hold the bells until the new church could be strengthened; the bells were finally removed to the new St John's in 1854. See details of other, more modern, churches within the original parish boundaries below.
The parish church of Hackney became a sinecure rectory in 1275. This meant there was both a vicar and a rector for the parish, both positions were in the gift of the Bishop of London, and the parish served the entire area of the current London Borough until the parish was divided in the 18th century. Many of the position holders were absentee pluralists (they had other jobs, and Hackney just formed a part of their income). From the 14th century to the 17th century the church was dedicated to St Augustine. But from about 1660, the church was dedicated to St John of Jerusalem, St John the Baptist, and known as St John at Hackney, representing the links of the parish with the Order of St John of Jerusalem.[1]
