Colburn (Royaume-Uni)

Colburn est une ville, une paroisse civile et une circonscription électorale du district de Richmondshire, dans le North Yorkshire, en Angleterre. C'est environ 2 milles (3,2 kilomètres) à l'ouest du village de Catterick et elle compte 4 860 habitants au recensement de 2011.

Le village tire son nom des premiers colons installés le long du ruisseau Colburn Beck. Cela signifie "flux froid", "flux de charbon" ou "flux froid et noir" et est un mélange de vieil anglais et de vieux norrois (Col, Kol et Burna). Une "brûlure" fait référence à une vallée érodée par les écoulements d'eau. La famille Colburn (Coburn) est répandue dans le monde entier, y compris Edward Colburn, arrière-grand-père de Reuben Colburn, arrivé en Amérique en 1635 sur le navire "Defence" de la Grande Migration puritaine des années 1630 dirigée par John Winthrop. Le nom Colburn est utilisé pour décrire à la fois le petit village ancien situé au nord et (plus fréquemment) le grand lotissement suburbain situé au sud, également connu sous le nom de Colburn Lane Estate. Colburn Hall, un ancien manoir, ainsi qu'un ancien bâtiment de tribunal adjacent sont des monuments historiques. Les quartiers environnants de Colburn incluent Walkerville, les boutiques de Broadway et Richmondshire Walk. Un centre de sports et de loisirs ouvert en 2004 offre aux habitants de Colburn un lieu de détente, d’exercice physique et de sports divers, dont le football. En 2005, Colburn fut au centre d'une vive controverse locale concernant les projets du conseil du district de Richmondshire. Le conseil voulait se doter de nouveaux bureaux situés dans une zone commerciale développée par le conseil, mais vide depuis plusieurs années. Les nouveaux bureaux devaient coûter quatre fois plus que les bureaux actuels du conseil. Le conseil devait alors construire dans le même projet des appartements sur les parkings du centre-ville, dans le quartier historique de Richmond, à proximité, pour financer le déménagement. Le projet a fini par avorter. En 2007, Colburn a célébré les 50 ans du nouveau lotissement en organisant de nombreux événements, de la pantomime aux soirées quiz.

Colburn Hall

Colburn Hall is a historic building in Colburn, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The oldest part of the complex is a hall with an undercroft, now known as the courthouse, which was constructed in about 1300. About 50 years later, another two-storey block was constructed; this now forms the cross-wing of the hall. It is possible that the two structures were linked by a central range, probably built of timber; or alternatively, that they were separate but associated buildings. If a central range did exist, it was demolished before 1718, the date of a surviving sketch showing the current arrangement. In 1662, a new range was added to the west cross-wing, which was thereafter used as the new Colburn Hall, by the D'Arcy family. It was later used as a farmhouse, and was Grade II* listed in 1951. The courthouse had its roof rebuilt, and a barn was built onto it. The building itself was later used as a barn, with the ground floor used for stabling by the 19th century. The courthouse was Grade I listed in 1969. It was added to the Heritage at Risk register in 2000, at which time it was disused, but it was restored in 2010. The hall is built of stone, with quoins, and a stone slate roof with stone copings, shaped kneelers, and finials. It has two storeys, and a T-shaped plan, with a front range of four bays, and a rear outshut. The doorway has a slightly chamfered surround and a hood mould, above which is a carved coat of arms. The windows vary, and include sashes and casements, some with mullions. Inside, there is an 18th-century stone surround for a range. The courthouse is also built of stone, with quoins, and a pantile roof with stone slates at the eaves, raised verges with moulded coping, and finials. There are two storeys, consisting of a first-floor hall and an undercroft, and five bays. It contains doorways and windows of various types, and retains an early fireplace in the east wall of the upper floor.
