    inNotti The Newsletter of the Nottinghamshire Building Preservation Trust Limited A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE CHAIRMAN There is a well known aphorism, which says that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. We who suppor t the Trust could think of ano ther version of it: the price of conservation is eternal vigilance. We need to be sure that we learn what is happening to the buildings which give Nottinghamshire towns and villages their distinctive character. We now have, in the 'green backs' (the pamphlets containing the details and descriptions of listed buildings now protected by planning laws), up-to-date information about all the buildings thought worth protecting That is the point at which we must begin to be vigilant We must make sure that we notice when they change hands; when they show signs of lack of maintenance; what changes are given planning approval. To show the variety of problems which arise, I want to refer to a few buildings which have given us cause for concern. First of all, we want to make sure that the historical and environmental character of a building has been accurately assessed, so that the impact of change can be properly gauged In the case of the Flying Horse, in The Poultry, Nottingham, which has exchanged hands and is being redeveloped, everyone knows that the frontage, with its gables and plaster decorations, is strictly a fake of 1936. Fortunately, the City Planning Department is alive to its responsibility and has commissioned a proper survey, so that we know how much of the timber framing is genuine The front range has been much altered at various times, but the range on Peck Lane consists of two properties, with brick walling and original ceiling beams and roofs of the 17th century The original elements in this complex will be retained in the redevelopment 11l ~{L'<:!;hffil y.

Following a public enquiry in 2004, the Secretary of State confirmed the Compulsory Purchase Order. English Heritage took possession of the site in September, and urgent works and holding repairs were completed in October 2004. The first phase of repairs is complete and Apethorpe Hall is now for sale. 16 HERITAGE AT RISK EAST MIDLANDS EM 17 HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Since the 1999 baseline register, the total number of Grade I and II* buildings and structural monuments at risk on the East Midlands register has fallen from 161 to 147. In the past year, however, there has been a significant net increase in the number of entries on the regional register. Ten buildings at risk have been added, three of which are in the highest priority category for action; at immediate risk of loss and have no solution agreed.With two exceptions, no solution is yet in place for any of the new entries. Five buildings on last year’s regional register have also been upgraded in their level of risk.This year, for the first time, the East Midlands register includes one registered battlefield at risk. Only three buildings at risk have been removed from the register, although ten have seen an improvement in condition.The first phase of repairs to the Grade I listed Apethorpe Hall, Northamptonshire is now complete and the estate has been offered for sale. Some of the Region’s entries are among the most intractable cases on the register.

Introduction 1.01 The district of Bassetlaw benefits from an extensive open space network; 488.41 ha covers a series of multi functional spaces including parks and gardens, amenity green spaces, children’s play areas, semi/natural green spaces, civic spaces, churchyards and allotments of differing sizes within or on the edge of the main towns of Worksop, Retford and Harworth & Bircotes alongside the 5 Large Rural Settlements of Blyth, Carlton in Lindrick, Langold/Hodsock, Misterton and Tuxford. 1.02 High quality open spaces bring many benefits for the community; they provide better opportunities for informal sport, play and recreation while the tranquillity and absence of noise and pollution found in many spaces enhances well being. Many provide safe and sustainable transport routes for people to move around the District on foot or by bike while others provide opportunities to grow local food. Several spaces provide access to heritage and biodiversity assets as well as providing valuable habitats for wildlife. 1.03 The Council’s Open Space Study report was last published in 2012 (OSS2012). Since then the Council and our partners has continued to promote the many benefits of open space across the District.

  • The State and the Country House in Nottinghamshire, 1937-1967
    THE STATE AND THE COUNTRY HOUSE IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE, 1937-1967 Matthew Kempson, BSc. MA. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2006 Abstract This thesis considers the state preservation and use of Nottinghamshire country houses during the mid-twentieth century, from the initiation of mass requisition in 1937 until 1967 when concerns for architectural preservation moved away from the country house. This thesis reviews literature on the landed estate in the twentieth century and the emergence of preservationist claims on the country house. Three substantive sections follow. The first discusses the declining representation of landowners within local governance in Nottinghamshire and the constitution of the County Council, and considers how estate space was incorporated within broadened concerns for the preservation of the historic environment and additionally provided the focus for the implementation of a variety of modern state and non-state functions. The second section considers how changing policy and aesthetic judgements impacted upon the preservation of country houses. Through discussion of Rufford Abbey, Winkburn Hall and Ossington Hall I consider the complexities of preservationist claims and how these conflicted with the responsibilities of the state and the demands of private landowners. The third section considers how estate space became valued by local authorities in the implementation of a variety of new modern educational uses, including the teacher training college at Eaton Hall and a school campus development at Bramcote Hills. The thesis concludes by considering the status of the country house in Nottinghamshire since 1967, and contemporary demands on the spaces considered historically in this study.

Reproduced from Ordnance Survey mapping with the permission Description & historic information: of Ordnance Survey. © Crown Copyright 2016, Bassetlaw District Council. License No. 100019517 Osberton Hall and Scofton Hall, two formerly separate estates brought under the same ownership in c1800, with Scofton Hall demolished soon after and the grounds becoming part of an expanded park all associated with Osberton Hall (grade II*listed). Scofton Hall – Pre-1800 In the medieval period, Scofton was part of the royal manor of Mansfield. It was historically separate from Osberton, divided by the course of the River Ryton. In the late-16th century, the Jessop family (of Broomhall, Sheffield) were owners of Scofton Halli. Scofton then passed to the Banks family (also of Sheffield) in the late-17th/early-18th century – Sir Joseph Banks is recorded as residing at Scofton in 1702. 1774 Chapman’s Map of Nottinghamshire, showing the distinctive settlements separated by the river. Scofton was sold to Brigadier General Richard Sutton in 1727. Brigadier General Sutton was responsible for planting a vast number of trees across the Scofton estate and in particular, several large clumps of Scotch fir trees (Black Hill Clump and the remaining parts of Scofton Wood are likely to have been planted at this time). He was also responsible for the distinctive rectangular wood at the west end of the site with its cross-pattern walkways, in addition to the planting of rows of trees alongside the main coach road (‘Grotto Screed’ and ‘Birch Holt’ being the best remaining examples).
