Management Plan 2014 Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site Third Review Management Plan 2014 1 Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site Management Plan Third Review 2014 What shall we tell you? Tales, marvellous tales. Of ships and stars and isles where good men rest… The Golden Journey to Samarkand James Elroy Flecker, 1913 1 Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site Management Plan Third Review 2014 Our Vision The Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site was inscribed by UNESCO in 1997 for the international significance of its architecture, the high degree of authenticity of its buildings and landscape, and for its history of royal patronage, artistic and scientific endeavour. It is one of the most significant World Heritage Sites in the United Kingdom and has worldwide recognition. We take great pride in the Site and are committed to ensuring that Maritime Greenwich is well looked after, well managed and accessible to all. We aim to welcome the widest possible range of people, share our deep pride with them and enrich the visitor experience by interpreting the Site’s significance and exciting interest in its history. We also seek to foster the contribution of Maritime Greenwich to local and London economies and to the social and economic evolution of the developing Greenwich Peninsula. Over the years, our vision for the Site has been realised with the help of considerable inward investment and major capital projects including the Peter Harrison Planetarium at the Royal Observatory, Discover Greenwich at the Old Royal Naval College (Greenwich Foundation), the Sammy Ofer Wing at the National Maritime Museum (Royal Museums Greenwich) and the renovation of Cutty Sark. These have done much to boost visitor interest in the Site and its interpretation and have helped to protect many of the attributes of its Outstanding Universal Value. The hosting of venues for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Greenwich, including the World Heritage Site, was an opportunity grasped to celebrate the inscription of the Site on the World Heritage List and to maximize the benefits of global attention leading up to and during the Games themselves. Looking to the future, the riverside context of Maritime Greenwich is rapidly changing with new developments and greater emphasis on the use of the River Thames after a period of inactivity following the decline in waterfront commerce. The rediscovery of the river and its role and potential, particularly for transport, is a catalyst for the integration of the World Heritage Site with new riverside activities and commercial enterprise. However, where development is to take place in and around the Site, we will seek the highest quality in new design appropriate to the special character of its location and setting. The London Borough of Greenwich was awarded Royal Borough status during 2012 in recognition of the association of royal patronage over many centuries; this in part is due to the role that Maritime Greenwich has been able to play over the years. We are now looking to meet new and exciting challenges, building on past success, to secure the ongoing future of the World Heritage Site both in its own right and as part of a wider family of attractions and enterprises in Royal Greenwich. Our ambitions are underpinned by comprehensive education programmes and outreach to young people across the Royal Borough and a recognition that both education and commercial activity have important roles to play in adding value to the Site and enabling an holistic experience in place-making. The Management Plan is a key part of this process and its implementation is helping to safeguard the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site as an important cultural asset and as a place for the benefit and enjoyment of the local community and national and international visitors. Councillor Denise Hyland Leader of Royal Borough of Greenwich 2 Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site Management Plan Third Review 2014 Acknowledgements The first Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site Management Plan, published in 1999, served as a blueprint for the regeneration of the Site with over £100 million invested in Maritime Greenwich over the five-year plan period. The second Management Plan, published in 2005 saw a similar sum invested and £75 million in grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Thanks are due to all those who have contributed to the production of this third review of the Management Plan. The Plan covers the period 2012 - 2017 and has been developed and implemented as a working document since its inception in 2012. The review was initiated under the leadership of the World Heritage Site Executive chaired by Dr Kevin Fewster, Director of Royal Museums Greenwich, until February 2014 and subsequently by Brendan McCarthy, Chief Executive of the Greenwich Foundation for the Old Royal Naval College. Special thanks for undertaking this review are due to Dr Kevin Fewster, Duncan Wilson (former Director of the Greenwich Foundation for the Old Royal Naval College), Councillor Peter Brooks at The Royal Borough, Neil McCollum, Steve Pallett and Emma O’Shea at The Royal Borough of Greenwich. Thanks are also due to all those who have contributed to specific parts of the review or commented on draft versions, including the members of the Steering and Executive groups, and Chairs of specific working groups: Neil McCollum for the Marketing and Visitor Management Groups, Jo Hall for the Learning Group, Peter Fotheringham for the Design Advisory Group and Mike Freestone for the Transport Group. Rebekah Seymour at Royal Museums Greenwich has been very helpful putting the various sections and drawings of the Management Plan together and special thanks for their sterling work in developing and bringing this Plan to fruition go to Geoffrey Belcher, Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site Co-ordinator until his retirement in January 2013 and to his successor, Rosslyn Stuart who took over the role until March 2014. Particular thanks go to Councillor Chris Roberts, Leader of The Royal Borough of Greenwich and Chair of the World Heritage Site Steering Group from 2000-2014, for his commitment to Maritime Greenwich before and after its inscription on the World Heritage List.

An appropriate management system is a pre-requisite for inscription on the list and a Management Plan forms a key element of such systems, specifying how the Outstanding 2 Universal Value1, authenticity and integrity of a World Heritage Site are to be maintained. Documentation relating to the inscription can be found at whc.unesco.org 1.1.2 Since 1999 Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site has been administered with the help of 5 year Management Plans prepared under the direction of working groups drawn from national and local bodies with an interest in Maritime Greenwich. The first Plan contained an extensive action programme which was largely implemented by 2005.

    H-Early-America UK Seminars on Art, Science, & Exploration since C18 Discussion published by John Daniel Saillant on Monday, August 25, 2014 Aaron Mulvany Monday, August 25, 2014 H-Asia DEADLINE: 5 September 2014 The Art Fund and Heritage Lottery Fund have generously funded a series of seminars (‘Travellers’ Tails’) at the National Maritime Museum and partner museums around the UK to investigate the histories, practices and interpretation of art, science and exploration from the Enlightenment to the present day. The seminars will bring together scholars, artists, scientists, explorers, members of the public and museum professionals to examine the changing nature, impact and legacies of European exploration since the mid-18th century. The seminars will focus on today’s audiences and discuss the display and interpretation of the material culture of exploration within gallery, heritage and museum environments. Seminars will interrogate the relevance of the subject and issues surrounding its presentation in a post-imperial world. George Stubbs’ iconic paintings of a kangaroo and dingo, recently acquired by the National Maritime Museum, will provide a starting point for wider-ranging papers and discussion within a multi-disciplinary environment. Proposals of no longer than 250 words, for presentations of 20 minutes, should be sent to [email protected] by no later than Friday, 5 September 2014.

  • Queen Mary I
    Queen Mary I Queen Mary I of England, also known as Mary Tudor, was one of the five monarchs from the famous Tudor family. Early Life Mary was born on 18th February 1516. She was the daughter of King Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Mary was a very clever child and was able to speak, read and write in many languages including Latin and Spanish. She was also very religious like her mother and followed the Catholic faith. In 1533, Henry decided to divorce Catherine as he was desperate for a son to be his heir. Mary was removed from her place in line to the throne, became known as ‘The Lady Mary’ rather than ‘Princess Mary’ and sent away from court. She was not allowed any contact with her mother as she would not accept her father’s new wife, Anne Boleyn, as queen. This hurt her relationship with her father and they did not speak for three years. Henry’s third wife, Jane, tried to make peace between Mary and her father. Mary agreed to the king’s request to recognise him as the head of the church and was reunited with her father in 1536. After Jane died, Henry married another three times. His final wife, Catherine Parr, persuaded the king to return Mary and Elizabeth to the line of succession in 1544. In 1547, Henry died and Mary’s half-brother Edward became king. During his reign, Mary spent most of her time away from court as she disagreed with laws he had passed.

  • Wren and the English Baroque
    What is English Baroque? • An architectural style promoted by Christopher Wren (1632-1723) that developed between the Great Fire (1666) and the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). It is associated with the new freedom of the Restoration following the Cromwell’s puritan restrictions and the Great Fire of London provided a blank canvas for architects. In France the repeal of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 revived religious conflict and caused many French Huguenot craftsmen to move to England. • In total Wren built 52 churches in London of which his most famous is St Paul’s Cathedral (1675-1711). Wren met Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) in Paris in August 1665 and Wren’s later designs tempered the exuberant articulation of Bernini’s and Francesco Borromini’s (1599-1667) architecture in Italy with the sober, strict classical architecture of Inigo Jones. • The first truly Baroque English country house was Chatsworth, started in 1687 and designed by William Talman. • The culmination of English Baroque came with Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) and Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661-1736), Castle Howard (1699, flamboyant assemble of restless masses), Blenheim Palace (1705, vast belvederes of massed stone with curious finials), and Appuldurcombe House, Isle of Wight (now in ruins). Vanburgh’s final work was Seaton Delaval Hall (1718, unique in its structural audacity). Vanburgh was a Restoration playwright and the English Baroque is a theatrical creation. In the early 18th century the English Baroque went out of fashion. It was associated with Toryism, the Continent and Popery by the dominant Protestant Whig aristocracy. The Whig Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 1st Marquess of Rockingham, built a Baroque house in the 1720s but criticism resulted in the huge new Palladian building, Wentworth Woodhouse, we see today.
