Nursing at the Horton. The Way it Was - When Care to the Local People Really Mattered by Dawn Griffis Pdf

'Nursing at the Horton' - 1956 to 1962; when hospitals were run by nurses. Matron was all powerful, demanding considerable respect from all. We were taught patients came first, second and last, everything else had to fit in between. The relationship between them, and the local people was; 'They are our patients, and we were their nurses'. During this time student nurses were responsible for cleanliness in the hospital. We knew that if a patient developed a hospital born infection - heads would roll! Our heads remained safe. Antibiotics had just become available, in limited supply. The nurses worked long hard hours - 60 to 72 hours a week; but played hard too. Some parts are very sad, others happy or funny. If you have ever been a patient or nurse in a hospital, especially the Horton, you will recognise the love that was generated. The book is a sequel to 'Aynhoe Village Life. The Way it Was', but can be read as a stand alone. Look for 'Nursing and Living in America. The Way it Was'.

Headington Hill Hall- The forgotten years- 1939 -1958 by Dawn Griffis Pdf

My reason, for writing this book, is that I believe a tribute is in order, to recognise all who were part of Headington Hill Hall during the years 1939 to 1958, either directly or indirectly. The contributions these people made have had a profound affect on future generations. Vis- -vis: My father would be recognised for his significant role in inventing the Oxford Lift. The staff, surgeons, nurses and therapists at St Hugh's and other affiliated hospitals, be recognised for their dedication and skill was immeasurable. What they started, in the way of treatment, was essential for the eventual well-being of 'The Boys'. It was ground-breaking in many ways. What was learned from the whole experience has set the standard for rehab in the following decades. This is Dawn's fourth non-fiction book. The first two were set in England, and the third was primarily set in the United States.

Sir John Soane and the Country Estate by Ptolemy Dean Pdf

First published in 1999, this volume examines Sir John Soane (1753-1837) who was one of Britain’s most inventive architects. His achievements include the Bank of England and the world’s first picture gallery at Dulwich, buildings of international importance. His country estate work, inspired by classical antiquity, ranges in scale from the remodelling of existing country houses, such as Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire and Aynhoe Park in Northamptonshire, to simple outbuildings. Here we see the emergence of the key themes of his style and the results of his precise attention to proportion, design detail, and light and shade. These are among Soane’s finest works. Making full use of the Soane Museum and country house archives, Ptolemy Dean here examines ten country house projects, reconstructing the creative transactions between client and architect, architect and skilled craftsman. It is impossible to understand Soane’s intentions without the drawings, sketches and letters which enable us to trace the process of design. With the author’s own drawings in watercolour to illustrate Soane’s use of light and space, and beautiful photographs by Martin Charles, Sir John Soane and the Country Estate offers an enthralling insight into the work of a great architect. An illustrated inventory, the first fully researched guide to Soane’s country house practice, details an architectural legacy that has rarely been matched.

Lili at Aynhoe by Elizabeth Cartwright-Hignett Pdf

This is a portrait of one of England's great country houses in the mid-Victorian period. Maria Elisabeth von Sandisell (Lili), a young aristocratic Bavarian, came to England in 1834 as the new wife of Thomas Cartwright, heir to Aynhoe park, where his family had lived since 1650. She stayed at the house, then owned by her father-in-law, a prominent Tory MP, for long periods until 1850, when her husband inherited the property. During this period, often with time heavy on her hands, she kept a fascinating diary of everyday events in the family and house and also painted a series of watercolours of the house, its interiors, cottages, church and school.
