Cleveland (Angleterre)

Cleveland (pron.: [ˈkliːvlənd]) est une ancienne zone géographique dans le Nord-Est de l’Angleterre. Son nom, « cliff-land », se réfère aux collines de sa partie méridionale, qui atteignent 450 m d'altitude. Historiquement intégrée dans le North Riding of Yorkshire, Cleveland se situe au sud de la Tees, et sa plus grosse agglomération a été Guisborough, jusqu'à ce que Middlesbrough ne la dépasse au cours du XIXe siècle. En 1974, un comté non-métropolitain est créé par le Local Government Act 1972, et nommé d'après la région historique, bien qu'il ne la couvre pas entièrement et qu'il intègre une zone au nord de la Tees qui faisait jusqu'ici partie du comté de Durham. Ce comté s'organise autour de la zone urbaine de Teesside et concerne Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool et Redcar. En 1996, le comté est supprimé, ses arrondissements devenant une unitary authority et la Tees redevenant la frontière entre le Yorkshire du Nord et le comté de Durham pour les usages cérémoniaux.

St Michael and St George's Church, Castleton

St Michael and St George's Church is an Anglican church in Castleton, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The first church in Castleton was constructed in 1865, with funding from Viscountess Downe and Lydia Dawnay. It was an iron building, which served as a chapel of ease to St Hilda's Church, Danby. A new church was completed in 1924, on the initiative of the Reverend Sydney Smith. It was designed by Leslie Moore, and funded in part by a grant of £150 from the Incorporated Church Building Society. The building was grade II listed in 1969. The church is built of sandstone with a green slate roof, and consists of a nave with a south porch, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower. The tower has two stages, the upper stage stepped-in, buttresses, a west doorway with a pointed arch, two and three-light bell openings, and an embattled parapet. The interior is plastered, with some exposed stone dressings. The chancel and tower arches both have carved wooden screens, and the sanctuary is panelled, with a reredos painting depicting the church's patron saints. There is a hexagonal stone font.
