Reino Unido

Reino Unido , oficialmente Reino Unido da Grã-Bretanha e Irlanda do Norte , é um Estado soberano insular localizado em frente à costa noroeste do continente europeu. O atual Reino Unido foi formado após o surgimento do Estado Livre Irlandês em 1922, que ganhou independência da coroa britânica. O Estado soberano localiza-se na ilha da Grã-Bretanha, e na parte nordeste da ilha da Irlanda, além de muitas outras ilhas menores. A Irlanda do Norte é a única parte do Reino Unido com uma fronteira terrestre, no caso, com a República da Irlanda. Fora essa fronteira terrestre, o país é cercado pelo oceano Atlântico, o mar do Norte, o canal da Mancha e o mar da Irlanda. A maior ilha, a Grã-Bretanha, é conectada com a França pelo Eurotúnel. O Reino Unido é uma união política de quatro "países constituintes": Escócia, Inglaterra, Irlanda do Norte e País de Gales. O governo é regido por um sistema parlamentar, cuja sede está localizada na cidade de Londres, a capital, e por uma monarquia constitucional que tem a rainha Isabel II como a chefe de Estado. As dependências da Coroa das Ilhas do Canal e a Ilha de Man , não fazem parte do Reino Unido, mas formam uma confederação com ele.O país tem quatorze territórios ultramarinos, todos remanescentes do Império Britânico, que no seu auge possuía quase um quarto da superfície da Terra, fazendo desse o maior império da história. Como resultado da era imperial, a influência britânica no mundo pode ser vista no idioma, na cultura e nos sistemas judiciários de muitas de suas antigas colônias, como o Canadá, a Austrália, a Índia e os Estados Unidos. A rainha Isabel II permanece como a chefe da Comunidade das Nações e chefe de Estado de cada uma das monarquias na Commonwealth.O Reino Unido é um país desenvolvido, com a sexta ou sétima maior economia do mundo. Ele foi o primeiro país industrializado do mundo e a principal potência mundial durante o século XIX e o começo do século XX, mas o custo econômico de duas guerras mundiais e o declínio de seu império na segunda metade do século XX reduziu o seu papel de líder nos temas mundiais. O Reino Unido, no entanto, permaneceu sendo uma potência importante com forte influência econômica, cultural, militar e política, sendo uma potência nuclear, com o terceiro ou quarto maior gasto militar do mundo. Tem um assento permanente no Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas e é membro do G8, da Organização do Tratado do Atlântico Norte , da Organização Mundial do Comércio e da Comunidade das Nações. Foi um membro da União Europeia até 31 de janeiro de 2020.

Benthall Hall

Benthall, Shropshire

Benthall Hall is a 16th-century English country house in Benthall in the town of Broseley, Shropshire, England, and a few miles from the historic Ironbridge Gorge. It retains much of its fine oak interior, and an elaborate 17th-century staircase. It is still occupied by the Benthall family, but has been owned by the National Trust since 1958, and is open to the public every Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday . The Hall was built around 1580, probably on the site of an earlier 12th-century medieval manor and manor house. During the Civil War it was garrisoned, and was a site of several skirmishes. The garden is largely the product of two tenants. George Maw , local pottery manufacturer and crocus enthusiast developed the garden from around 1865 onwards. Subsequently, the Victorian era Romantic painter and sculptor Robert Bateman , who was the son of a famous horticulturalist, added the rockeries and terraces of the current garden. The Restoration era church of St. Bartholomew, built 1667-68, stands close by the Hall. The Shropshire Way, a waymarked long-distance footpath, passes through the extensive woodland that lies to the north, between the estate and the River Severn.
