November 2006 FOREWORD 2 00 The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) The Portable Antiquities Scheme is an important and and the British Museum have been key supporters valuable part of MLA’s vision to improve people’s lives of the Portable Antiquities Scheme since it was by building knowledge, supporting learning, inspiring established in 1997. MLA co-ordinated the Scheme’s creativity and celebrating identity, and ties in well successful Heritage Lottery Fund bid (which funded with other MLA programmes and responsibilities such the Scheme in 2003/6), sponsored the Scheme through as Renaissance in the Regions, Inspiring Learning for the last Government Spending Review (which funds All and Export Licensing.

Given the positive contribution this Scheme Minister’s kind words in his foreword to this report. has made to our understanding of the past, it is hoped that the government will continue to support the MLA and the British Museum jointly chair the scheme in the forthcoming Spending Review. Portable Antiquities Advisory Group (formerly Portable Antiquities Project Board & Advisory Group), the consortium of national bodies that co-ordinates the Project and takes it forward. A recent and notable achievement of this group is agreement on a Code of Conduct for Responsible Metal Detecting in England and Wales which, for the first time defines Chris Batt, Chief Executive Officer, the Museums, ‘responsible metal-detecting’ and provides a clear Libraries & Archives Council and unambiguous definition of what constitutes best practice, and has been endorsed by all key archaeological bodies, metal-detecting and landowners’ organisations. This group has also discussed other important issues related to the aims of the Scheme, such as metal-detecting rallies, agri-environment schemes and the illicit recovery and sale of antiquities. Neil MacGregor, Director, the British Museum On the latter issue MLA and the British Museum (with the support of the Art & Antiques Unit, Metropolitan Police) have now agreed a protocol with eBay, by which eBay will remove from its site tainted cultural objects, such as unreported potential Treasure. However, it is the Finds Liaison Officers who, with the support of their managers and local partners in the Scheme, deliver the project’s aims and objectives on the ground, as the Minister has stressed in his foreword. It is well recognised that the Finds Liaison Officers, and their assistants and volunteers, work diligently and professionally to ensure the Scheme is as successful as it is, helping to foster good relations between finders, archaeologists and museum professionals, widen an interest and understanding of archaeological finds, and ensure that the data collated is of the maximum benefit for advancing knowledge of the past. It is a tribute to the success of such partnerships that the Portable Antiquities Scheme continues to break down barriers, and encourage learning and knowledge for the benefit of all.

  • Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw
    Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw Mick Aston’s passion for involving people in archaeology is reflected in the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund. His determination to make archaeology publicly accessible was realised through his teaching, work on Time Team, and advocating community projects. The Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is therefore intended to encourage voluntary effort in making original contributions to the study and care of the historic environment. Please note that the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is currently open to applicants carrying out work in England and Wales only. Historic Scotland run a similar scheme for projects in Scotland and details can be found at: http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/index/heritage/grants/grants-voluntary-sector- funding.htm. How does the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund work? Voluntary groups and societies, but also individuals, are challenged to put forward proposals for innovative projects that will say something new about the history and archaeology of local surroundings, and thus inform their future care. Proposals will be judged by a panel on their intrinsic quality, and evidence of capacity to see them through successfully. What is the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund panel looking for? First and foremost, the panel is looking for original research. Awards can be to support new work, or to support the completion of research already in progress, for example by paying for a specific piece of analysis or equipment. Projects which work with young people or encourage their participation are especially encouraged. What can funding be used for? In principle, almost anything that is directly related to the actual undertaking of a project.

  • Biological Surveys at Hunsbury Hill Country Park 2018
    FRIENDS OF WEST HUNSBURY PARKS BIOLOGICAL SURVEYS AT HUNSBURY HILL COUNTRY PARK 2018 Ryan Clark Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre April 2019 Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre Introduction Biological records tell us which species are present on sites and are essential in informing the conservation and management of wildlife. In 2018, the Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre ran a number of events to encourage biological recording at Hunsbury Hill Fort as part of the Friends of West Hunsbury Park’s project, which is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Hunsbury Hill Country Park is designated as a Local Wildlife Site (LWS). There are approximately 700 Local Wildlife Sites in Northamptonshire. Local Wildlife Sites create a network of areas, which are important as refuges for wildlife or wildlife corridors. Hunsbury Hill Country Park was designated as a LWS in 1992 for its woodland flora and the variety of habitats that the site possesses. The site also has a Local Geological Site (LGS) which highlights the importance of this site for its geology as well as biodiversity. This will be surveyed by the local geological group in due course. Hunsbury Hill Country Park Local Wildlife Site Boundary 1 Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre (NBRC) supports the recording, curation and sharing of quality verified environmental information for sound decision-making. We hold nearly a million biological records covering a variety of different species groups. Before the start of this project, we looked to see which species had been recorded at the site. We were surprised to find that the only records we have for the site have come from Local Wildlife Site Surveys, which assess the quality of the site and focus on vascular plants, with some casual observations of other species noted too.

  • Altitude Problem
    Viewpoint Altitude problem Time: 15 mins Region: East of England Landscape: rural Location: Tydd St Giles, near Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, PE13 5NU Grid reference: TF 38300 13300 Keep an eye out for: shed-like brick buildings - these are the Fens water pumping stations You may be wondering why we have brought you to this rather flat and featureless set of fields. Looking around there are only crops, minor roads and the odd farm building: not much to attract our attention. Well this is an ‘invisible’ viewpoint! You might not be able to see much but take a look at the section of OS map near the pin. Find the contour line (the thin brown line snaking through the middle of the image). This marks the height of the land in metres above sea level. Look carefully and you’ll see it reads 0 metres. This means we are on land that’s lower than the sea. Why is this Cambridgeshire field - 20 miles from the coast - actually under the sea? The answer is all around. Look for the long straight channels across the fields. In wet weather they are full of water. These are not natural rivers but artificial ditches, dug to drain water off the fields. So much water was drained away here that the soil dried out and shrank. This lowered the land so much that in places it is now below sea-level! But why was the land drained here and how? Originally the expanse of low-lying land from Cambridge through The Wash and up into Lincolnshire was inhospitable.

  • Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire
    Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire: An oral history, 1900-1940 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Janet Arthur De Montfort University June 2019 Abstract This study is an oral history of a Derbyshire dairying parish during the first forty years of the twentieth century. The aim was to discover the nature and cohesion of society in a parish with no resident lord of the manor, the effects on the parish of changes in agricultural practice and the impact of government interventions on the lives of individuals. The lives of residents were affected by the history and layout of the parish, based on the geography and previous ownership. Having no resident lord of the manor generated a social structure with three layers: firstly, seven key people, outsiders who did not own land, secondly, networks of small landowners and artisans, who had lived there for generations, finally, labourers, many also families of long standing. Religion was important in supporting this social structure. Being an ‘open’ parish had enabled a chapel to be built and the provision of a school, though not all children attended this school. Through widespread ownership, there was a freedom to live and work without being beholden to neighbouring estates, as alternative employment could be found elsewhere for any surplus workers. Mechanisation improved farming practice, but, though government intervention during the First World War helped, the downturn afterwards and competition between farmers meant dairying was precarious, until the foundation of the Milk Marketing Board in 1933 to control production and price. The sale of the Duke of Devonshire’s farms in 1918 to the occupiers and the County Council removed the prestige that his tenants had enjoyed.

More recently this guidance has been reviewed in the light of architectural paint research undertaken by English Heritage, and other heritage paint manufacturers, including Little Greene (English Heritage), Dulux (Heritage range), and Farrow and Ball with reference also made to the paint ranges set out in the British Standards. This research has identified that many shop fronts from the period 1780 to 1840 (Georgian/Regency) were painted in lighter, more neutral ‘stone’ coloured shades including greys, creams, beige/fawn along with imitation wood, and shades of brown and green. Shop fronts from the period 1840 to 1920 (Victorian/Edwardian) generally used darker, richer colours including blues, greens, reds and black. However the neutral shades of grey, beige/fawn and dark cream from the previous era may also have been used.
