  • Changes in the Appearance of Paintings by John Constable
    return to list of Publications and Lectures Changes in the Appearance of Paintings by John Constable Charles S. Rhyne Professor, Art History Reed College published in Appearance, Opinion, Change: Evaluating the Look of Paintings Papers given at a conference held jointly by the United Kingdom institute for Conservation and the Association of Art Historians, June 1990. London: United Kingdom Institute for Conservation, 1990, p.72-84. Abstract This paper reviews the remarkable diversity of changes in the appearance of paintings by one artist, John Constable. The intention is not simply to describe changes in the work of Constable but to suggest a framework for the study of changes in the work of any artist and to facilitate discussion among conservators, conservation scientists, curators, and art historians. The paper considers, first, examples of physical changes in the paintings themselves; second, changes in the physical conditions under which Constable's paintings have been viewed. These same examples serve to consider changes in the cultural and psychological contexts in which Constable's paintings have been understood and interpreted Introduction The purpose of this paper is to review the remarkable diversity of changes in the appearance of paintings by a single artist to see what questions these raise and how the varying answers we give to them might affect our work as conservators, scientists, curators, and historians. [1] My intention is not simply to describe changes in the appearance of paintings by John Constable but to suggest a framework that I hope will be helpful in considering changes in the paintings of any artist and to facilitate comparisons among artists.

Both the Boxford Society and the YourBoxford groups submitted well thought out and professional objections to this site for affordable housing, based on existing regulations. Unfortunately none of our concerns were discussed nor were we able to put questions on the planning application to the Parish Council. It is a sad day when concerned residents who are anxious to work with the Councillors for the best outcome for villagers who are to be rehomed in Boxford, have been dismissed There were two residents who spoke in favour of the site, stating they were concerned their children would not be able to live in the village in the future. Details of our concerns and residents comments can be found on the Yourboxford.org website. If anyone still wants to add their concerns to Babergh, the end date for submitting letters is 17th December. Please write to: Mr. G. Chamberlain, quoting Application Number B/13/01200/FUL copy to Christine Thurlow who is the Corporate Manager – Development Management, at Babergh D.C. Council Offices, Corks Lane, Hadleigh IP7 6SJ.

  • Babergh District Council
    Draft recommendations on the new electoral arrangements for Babergh District Council Consultation response from Babergh District Council Babergh District Council (BDC) considered the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s draft proposals for the warding arrangements in the Babergh District at its meeting on 21 November 2017, and made the following comments and observations: South Eastern Parishes Brantham & Holbrook – It was suggested that Stutton & Holbrook should be joined to form a single member ward and that Brantham & Tattingstone form a second single member ward. This would result in electorates of 2104 and 2661 respectively. It is acknowledged the Brantham & Tattingstone pairing is slightly over the 10% variation threshold from the average electorate however this proposal represents better community linkages. Capel St Mary and East Bergholt – There was general support for single member wards for these areas. Chelmondiston – The Council was keen to ensure that the Boundary Commission uses the correct spelling of Chelmondiston (not Chelmondistan) in its future publications. There were comments from some Councillors that Bentley did not share common links with the other areas included in the proposed Chelmondiston Ward, however there did not appear to be an obvious alternative grouping for Bentley without significant alteration to the scheme for the whole of the South Eastern parishes. Copdock & Washbrook - It would be more appropriate for Great and Little Wenham to either be in a ward with Capel St Mary with which the villages share a vicar and the people go to for shops and doctors etc. Or alternatively with Raydon, Holton St Mary and the other villages in that ward as they border Raydon airfield and share issues concerning Notley Enterprise Park.

    10(i)/19 48 PARISH COUNCIL MEETING Held in the Guildhall, Thursday 3rd October 2019 at 7.30 pm. Present Mr J O’Mahony, Vice Chairman Mrs D Twitchett, Miss A Mortimer, Mr B Panton, Mr T Sheppard, Mr A Searle, Mr I Lamont Mr R Lindsay, Suffolk County Councillor. Mrs M Maybury and Mr C Arthey, District Councillors for Lavenham Ward. 4 members of the public Public Forum - Mr John Pawsey, Chair of the Friends of Lavenham Airfield, spoke about plans in hand and ambitions for the future. The group has received many gifts from veterans and is looking for a site for a museum, perhaps in conjunction with another group such as the Parish Council. The annual FOLA celebrations will take place to coincide with the VE Day 75 weekend, this will involve many village groups and FOLA would like very much for the Parish Council to be involved as well. Fundraising for the memorial to the 233 servicemen who died flying from Lavenham Airfield continues. Alpheton Parish Council has made a £200 donation. Increasing numbers of relatives, children and grandchildren, are coming back and staying in the village, keeping the connection going. Mr Pawsey hoped that the people of the village continued to consider the Airfield, and the people who had served there, as part of the community.

  • Babergh Development Framework to 2031
    Summary Document Babergh Development Framework to 2031 Core Strategy Growth Consultation Summer 2010 Babergh Development Framework to 2031 Core Strategy Consultation – Future Growth of Babergh District to 2031 i. Babergh is continuing its work to plan ahead for the district’s long-term future and the first step in this will be the ‘Core Strategy’ part of the Babergh Development Framework (BDF). It is considered that as a starting point for a new Plan, the parameters of future change, development and growth need to be established. ii. It is important to plan for growth and further development to meet future needs of the district, particularly as the Core Strategy will be a long term planning framework. Key questions considered here are growth requirements, the level of housing growth and economic growth to plan for and an outline strategy for how to deliver these. iii. Until recently, future growth targets, particularly those for housing growth, were prescribed in regional level Plans. As these Plans have now been scrapped, there are no given growth targets to use and it is necessary to decide these locally. In planning for the district’s future, a useful sub-division of Babergh can be identified. This is to be used in the BDF and it includes the following 3 main areas: Sudbury / Great Cornard - Western Babergh Hadleigh / Mid Babergh Ipswich Fringe - East Babergh including Shotley peninsula 1. Employment growth in Babergh – determining the scale of growth in employment; plus town centres and tourism 1.1 Babergh is an economically diverse area, with industrial areas at the Ipswich fringe, Sudbury, Hadleigh and Brantham (and other rural areas); traditional retail sectors in the two towns; a high proportion of small businesses; and tourism / leisure based around historic towns / villages and high quality countryside and river estuaries.

  • Rail Strategy 2006-2011 and Beyond Now We’Removing Informing, Engaging and Inspiring Foreword Essex Rail Strategy – 2006-2011 and Beyond
    Essex Rail Strategy 2006-2011 and Beyond now we’removing informing, engaging and inspiring Foreword Essex Rail Strategy – 2006-2011 and Beyond ‘I cannot think of a higher priority for the County Council than for it to strive to achieve a first class highways and transportation system for all who live in, work in or visit the county of Essex. The challenges in front of us are enormous. Over 130,000 new homes are being proposed for Essex and its borders with surrounding authorities, the travel needs of which will have a direct impact on the transport network in Essex. All aspects of passenger transport will play a key role in delivering this vision. The County Council has therefore produced three daughter strategies to support the Local Transport Plan, focusing on how passenger transport will contribute towards a fully integrated transport network. The Road Passenger Transport, Bus Information and Rail Strategies outline the ways in which we intend to improve the lives of Essex people by addressing traffic growth, road congestion and improving public transport. They contain measures aimed at improving options for travel and access to services to develop a more effective transport network. To produce the strategies the County Council has consulted widely at regional, district and parish level, with key service providers, a wide range of user groups and the general public so that collectively they represent a tangible commitment by Essex County Council to make our County a better place to live and work and to support a decent public transport network. I am committed to delivering a transport system that meets the challenges we face in Essex and look forward to working in partnership with stakeholders to bring about the transformation we now need.’ Councillor Rodney L.
