    Hampshire Cultural Trust Chilcomb House, Chilcomb Lane Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8RB 01962 678140 Collections Volunteer Role Description – Accession Register transcriptions This role is in support of our collections team and will help the team locate, catalogue and exhibit objects in Hampshire Cultural Trust’s (HCT) collections. Purpose of the role The purpose of the role is to assist in the transcription into an excel document of the handwritten accession registers held by HCT. This will enable the efficient searching of the registers for objects in the collections. Background information The Hampshire Cultural Trust cares for the Hampshire County Council and Winchester City Council Museum Collections. Whilst much is on display at the trust’s venues around Hampshire, this role is primarily concerned in working with the extensive collections located in the museum stores at Chilcomb House and nearby at the F2 store and Bar End stores in Winchester. When objects are first accessioned (taken) into a museum collection basic information about the objects and where they came from are recorded in a register. In the past this was often the basic record but the records were then computerised in a database and we now rely very heavily on the database to manage the collections. With such large collections the computer records are by no means comprehensive and we sometimes have to rely on the accession registers to find objects and confirm details. However, even in pdf format we cannot conduct word searches and we have to spend lots of time looking through page after page of registers. This task will enable quick searches of the accession register and therefore better management of the collections and improved opportunities to display objects.

  • Chilcomb (Or Upper Chilcomb) Chilcomb Also Known As Upper Chilcomb
    Chilcomb (or Upper Chilcomb) Chilcomb also known as Upper Chilcomb 1.0 PARISH Chilcomb 2.0 HUNDRED Fawley 3.0 NGR 450705 127905 4.0 GEOLOGY Lower Chalk 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Chilcomb is 3.8m east of Winchester at c. 65m AOD. The settlement is in a natural bowl with higher ground to the north (76m AOD), east (132m AOD), and south at Deacon Hill (144m AOD). Westwards the land drops away into the valley of the river Itchen c.2km distant, and in this direction there are excellent views of St Catherine's Hill, Winchester. A military range is located within 0.5km west and south. The parish was reduced in size when it was divided into two components in 1894. Chilcomb Within (Winchester) included St Catherine's Hill, Bar End, Highliffe and St Giles' Hill. Chilcomb Without comprised the rump of the rural parish including the present church and hamlet. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 and 5) Church & hamlet 6.1 The hamlet of Chilcomb is just above a valley, perhaps not quite as the place-name describes it (paragraph 15.0). Here, the pattern of lanes is sub-circular and these define a plot of land of c. 350m² within the north-west corner of which most of the ancient buildings are situated. Amongst these are Chilcomb Manor (C17?), St Kildas, and Thatched Cottage (C17). Outside of the sub-circular plot, and immediately to the north of it, are the remaining outbuildings of what was once known as Chilcomb Farm (now Manor Farm).
