The Treasure Act 1996 is a continuing success, ensuring that museums are able to acquire the most significant archaeological discoveries for the benefit of all. 2012 saw a modest increase in the number of potential Treasure finds reported in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (990); 21 more than the number reported in the previous year. Of these items, 367 have been (or are to be) acquired by museums. Many museum acquisitions have been made possible only through the kind assistance of funding bodies, particularly the Art Fund, Headley Trust, Heritage Lottery Fund, National Heritage Memorial Fund and the V&A Purchase Grant Fund. We are thankful to these organisations for their recognition of the importance of archaeological finds and their support of museums’ efforts to acquire them. This year also saw the launch of a new funding stream from the Art Fund called ‘Treasure Plus’ which enabled museums that had already acquired Treasure to increase the public’s engagement with it by facilitating new displays, exhibitions and learning activities.

  • Servants' Passage
    SERVANTS’ PASSAGE: Cultural identity in the architecture of service in British and American country houses 1740-1890 2 Volumes Volume 1 of 2 Aimée L Keithan PhD University of York Archaeology March 2020 Abstract Country house domestic service is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and America. Whilst shared architectural and social traditions between the two countries are widely accepted, distinctive cultural identity in servant architecture remains unexplored. This thesis proposes that previously unacknowledged cultural differences between British and American domestic service can be used to rewrite narratives and re-evaluate the significance of servant spaces. It uses the service architecture itself as primary source material, relying on buildings archaeology methodologies to read the physical structures in order to determine phasing. Archival sources are mined for evidence of individuals and household structure, which is then mapped onto the architecture, putting people into their spaces over time. Spatial analysis techniques are employed to reveal a more complex service story, in both British and American houses and within Anglo-American relations. Diverse spatial relationships, building types and circulation channels highlight formerly unrecognised service system variances stemming from unique cultural experiences in areas like race, gender and class. Acknowledging the more nuanced relationship between British and American domestic service restores the cultural identity of country house servants whose lives were not only shaped by, but who themselves helped shape the architecture they inhabited. Additionally, challenging accepted narratives by re-evaluating domestic service stories provides a solid foundation for a more inclusive country house heritage in both nations. This provides new factors on which to value modern use of servant spaces in historic house museums, expanding understanding of their relevance to modern society.

Maryland first celebrated its founding in 1834 and has continued to do so in 50 year intervals. The pattern for celebrating thus established, Maryland was ready as 1984 approached to look back with pride on 350 years of political, social and cultural achievement. As in previous an- niversaries, the celebration of the past became an affirmation of the future. To prepare the state for its 1984 celebration, the 1982 General Assembly of Maryland passed a resolution (Appendix i) creating the 350 Coordinating Com- mittee which subsequently became the Maryland Heritage Committee.

  • Caverswall and Gainford Compared Adapted from Various Sources
    CAVERSWALL AND GAINFORD COMPARED ADAPTED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES THE ARHCITECTURE Caverswall Castle, built probably some time after 1611 by Mathew Cradock, Mayor of Stafford and later its M.P., is fairly named, for it stands within the enceinte1 of a medieval castle; and Victorian embellishments made it slightly more castle-like when the crowning classical balustrade was replaced by a parapet with minimal crenels2. It may be from a Smythson3 stable: the date makes John rather than Robert the more likely architect. Caverswall is a slab with a partially split spine, the space between its two walls being used for a short narrow corridor and closets. Since the entry, on the south front, is central and into a transverse passage which (screened from the hall) leads across the house to one of two projecting staircase towers, there is a cruciform pattern of routes on the ground floor, though the western arm of the cross comes quickly to a halt in a massive stack with back-to-hack hearths at each level. A projecting tower at the west end, gives access only to the rooms in the Western half. True, these are the evident rooms of state including an unusually large apartment on the second floor, but four identical and identically divided apartments on the two upper floors in the eastern half of the house must be approached from the great back stair. Though it is of the same form as its grander brother, the back stair is unadorned and contains an original hoist and tackle in its central well; so it is very visibly also the service stair, and therefore used for secondary access to the great rooms to the west.
