Reporting Structure The post holder will report to the Project Team, via the Borough Archivist (London Borough of Barking and Dagenham). Nature and Scope A thousand years ago Barking Abbey was one of the great places of England – and had already been so for nearly 400 years - and would continue to be so for a further 400. There is a wealth of archaeology and history here to celebrate. We are a partnership of four organisations: - • The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (owner of most of the site, including the Abbey ruins, a scheduled Ancient Monument), • St Margaret’s church (a remaining original building and an active church still), • the Diocese of Chelmsford (who the post holder will be employed by), and • the Museum of London Archaeology team. 1 Our project “A magnifying glass on Barking Abbey’s Archaeology” has been awarded funds by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and will run through 2020, as a preliminary to a very much larger project to follow in years to come. The Magnifying Glass project will see previously discovered archaeology sorted, assessed and catalogued by MOLA; so we can see what just what we have and how we can use the emerging history in the next round of bids for major funding. Alongside that research work, we will begin to promote the story of Barking Abbey. The sharing of our history and significance will be led by our new postholder, the Heritage Champion. The role will be to reach out to new audiences, and to celebrate the heritage through St Margaret’s, across the surrounding site and through off-site local volunteer-led micro-events. The role will be responsible for the arrangement and delivery of the pop up mobile exhibitions and the Academic Conference Event (ACE) to attract a national academic audience to engage with the new discoveries about Barking’s heritage.

Three located archaeological features, deposits and finds that date from the Roman, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval periods. A possible Saxon ditch was found. A deposit model based on borehole logs, previous archaeological excavations, evaluation trenching and cartographic study identified a geological discontinuity with alluvium to the west and north of the site and glacial tills to the east and south-east. Finds include Roman and medieval brick and tile, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval pottery, animal bone and worked timber. The evaluation trenching has provided further evidence for Saxon and medieval activity associated with Barking Abbey.

  • News Update for London's Museums
    @LondonMusDev E-update for London’s Museums – 26 October 2020 Two weeks ago London moved into the second Tier of the government’s three- tier alert system for local lockdowns. The three-tier alert system imposes three different levels of lockdown in a specific region, depending on the number of cases per 100,000 of population in that area. London is currently in Tier 2, or ‘alert level: high’. Previous Covid-19 rules and restrictions still apply, as highlighted below, including the rule of six. Though there are changes to be aware of and you can find the full Tier 2 guidance on the Gov.uk website. Museums, galleries and libraries, following COVID-secure guidance, can still host more people in total, but no one must mix indoors with anyone who they do not live with (or have formed a support bubble with). The guidance states that “businesses and venues must ensure people do not meet in their premises with people from outside of their household or support bubble”. As always, it is advised to regularly check the news for government announcements. In addition, the Covid-19 measures that were announced on 24 September still stand. You can find further information about these measures on the gov.uk website, and how they will impact your organisation, including information on face coverings, Test and Trace, and new rules for businesses selling food. It is important that your organisation is fully up to date with these changes and you can find an overview on a number of these measures below. The NMDC has updated their Good Practice Guidelines to reflect many of the recent changes which have taken place in September and October, you can find further information about this guidance and the AIM and Museum Development Network’s accompanying checklist below.

  • Creative Barking &Dagenham
    CREATIVE BARKING & DAGENHAM THE ARTS, BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT, IN BARKING & DAGENHAM Art and active citizenship, confidence and civic pride - as an Arts Advisor to the Cultural Connectors and Creative Barking and Dagenham team since 2013, it’s been rewarding to see how successfully the project’s vision to engage local people in commissioning and programming has been realised. The team’s imaginative, consistent and persistent approach to building successful collaborations with individuals and communities has resulted in an ambitious range of artistic projects, festivals and creative partnerships. These have delighted and surprised audiences and participants, generated new partnerships and shifted perceptions of the borough, both regionally and nationally. To effect this change in perception CBD sought to ensure that the policy and strategy was rooted in local people’s interests and aspirations, so that it would be owned and championed by them. Placing consultation and collaboration at the heart of the process of change, right from the outset, has given value and status to the work of this Creative People and Places initiative. In Barking and Dagenham, the CBD staff team, the advisors and the local authority have foregrounded working with situated knowledge and insights of people who live and work in the borough. Over 100 voluntary ‘Cultural Connectors’ have been recruited, local residents who are the project’s advocates and decision makers. The arts commissioning is decided by panels where at least 60% of the voting power is held by these residents. This is meaningful participation and engagement with real roles, risks and responsibilities. The Cultural Connectors have built a strong critical frame of reference over the years, visiting theatre, festivals and galleries to see work across London and the UK.
