INTRODUCTION This tender is informed by the following documents: • Invitation to Tender document, Adam Klups and Stoke Orchard PCC • The Perry Lithgow Partnership, ‘Stoke Orchard Church, Glos –Wall painting condition survey’ (Nov 2019) • Tobit Curteis Associates LLP, ‘St James the Great Church, Stoke Orchard – Condition review of the wall paintings & assessment of the environmental conditions’. (Aug 2019) • David Arnold, Arnold Bartosch Ltd. ‘St James the Great Church, Stoke Orchard – QIR’ (24th May 2017) The Partners are very pleased to tender for this significant and nationally important conservation project. We have the necessary qualifications, skills, experience and capacity to complete the works to a high standard and to schedule, and we have considerable experience of using the specified treatment processes on numerous similar medieval wall paintings. Mark Perry is particularly familiar with this church, having carried out detailed condition surveys in 1994 and 2019, the latter of which forms the basis of the treatment specification. We believe this makes us ideally suited to carry out the conservation works. A list of all conservation projects completed by the partnership since 1983 is included as Appendix 1. 2 THE PERRY LITHGOW PARTNERSHIP LTD Directors: Richard Lithgow FIIC, ACR; Mark Perry ACR Established in 1983 the Perry Lithgow Partnership Ltd operates throughout the UK and Ireland specialising in wall paintings, panel paintings and paintings on canvas and stone. Clients include: Historic England, the National Trust, the Office of Public Works (Ireland), the Church Buildings Council, the Churches Conservation Trust, Friends of Friendless Churches, parish churches, leading conservation architects, cathedrals, local government bodies and private individuals. The partnership acts as Wall Painting Conservation Advisers to the National Trust. We provide a full range of conservation services including, project consultancy, condition surveys, monitoring and technical analysis, photographic and digitised graphic recording. We have extensive experience on painted schemes dating from the C12th to the C20th. Major projects include: the C19th Stranger’s Gallery wall paintings, House of Lord’s Chamber, and Maclise frescoes in the Royal Gallery, Palace of Westminster; the C16th High Great Chamber Frieze at Hardwick Hall (NT), the C13th Nave and Transept Ceilings and C15th Presbytery and Apse ceilings at Peterborough Cathedral; extensive C13th to C17th wall paintings at St Alban's Cathedral; and the C12th fresco cycle in Cormac’s Chapel, Cashel, Ireland. We have worked on numerous medieval wall paintings in parish churches throughout England and Wales, many of which have multiple schemes of various different periods, such as are found at St James’ Church. Examples of similar projects include: St. John's Church, Duxford, Cambs; St. Martin's Church, Wareham, Dorset; St. Gregory's Church, Norwich; St Mary the Virgin, West Walton, Norfolk; All Saints Church, Shorthampton, Oxon; Church of St Peter ad Vincula, South Newington, Oxon; St Mary’s Church, Lakenheath, Suffolk and All Saints Church, Burton Dassett, Warwicks. A complete list of all conservation projects can be found in Appendix 1. The Perry Lithgow Partnership won the 2010 Pilgrim Trust Award for Conservation for our 10 year conservation project on the c.1710 Staircase scheme of wall paintings at Hanbury Hall (NT) by Sir James Thornhill. The Guild Chapel, Stratford-upon-Avon was awarded the 2018 SPAB (Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings) John Betjeman Award following our conservation of the C15th ‘Doom’ and ‘Erthe upon Erthe’ wall paintings. The directors make a point of attending as many conferences, site-visits and case-study days as possible in order to expand our knowledge and keep up to date with new materials and treatment processes. We place great emphasis on raising the standards of documentation and have worked in close contact with the National Trust, leading conservation architects, Historic England and the Church Buildings Council in designing formats for condition surveys and conservation records, especially with regard to digitising information, graphic and photographic recording. Mark Perry is an assessor for the Institute of Conservation (Icon) PACR accreditation process. Richard Lithgow is a Fellow of the International Institute for Conservation and a reader for the Icon’s PACR accreditation process. He is also a former co-chair of Icon’s Stone & Wall Paintings Committee. The Perry Lithgow Partnership 3 St James the Great, Stoke Orchard Wall Painting Conservation Treatment PLP Revised Tender (2020) The Partnership has good long-term working relationships with a number of experienced wall painting conservators whom we employ regularly. Four of our regular assistants are accredited members of Icon in their own right and all the others are properly trained. In addition, we pride ourselves on always having at least one partner on-site throughout a project. If our tender bid is successful, we will provide CVs of the assistant conservators who will be involved in this project. A list of conservation projects on wall paintings, panel paintings and paintings on canvas and stone completed by the partnership since 1983 are included as Appendix 1. 3 PRE-CONTRACT WORK 3.1 Pre-Contract Meetings Although this is not specified, this tender allows for attendance of 2 No. pre-contract site meetings with the client/Project Team, Church Architect, scaffolders and statutory and funding bodies. From past experience of similar detailed projects, for example at Stratford upon Avon Guild Chapel, we find such meetings to be essential for the smooth-running of a project and have therefore included the cost in our tender. 3.2 Pre-Contract Administration For the preparation of our Health and Safety documentation (see Item 4.3 below); general project co- ordination and graphics and photographic material for detailed recording of condition and treatment during the conservation works. This work is not specified in the invitation to tender document but, as we consider this to be an essential part of all projects, we have included the cost in our tender. 4 MAIN PROJECT 4.1 Programme of Works We understand the wall painting conservation project is scheduled to take place in the second part of 2020. We have both the availability and capacity to carry out the proposed works during this period. However, for obvious reasons, it would be preferable to complete the on-site works before the cold weather in late Autumn/early winter. We anticipate the remedial treatment works will be completed in 10 weeks by a team of 3 conservators (1 principal, 2 assistants). If necessary, this could be reduced by c.2 weeks by using an additional conservator. At least one of the Directors - Richard Lithgow/Mark Perry - will be on site throughout. The CVs of all assistant conservators involved in the project will be provided on request. In addition, there would be the input of the student internship or ‘emerging conservator’ (tbc), as proposed in the Invitation to Tender. This is discussed further in Item 4.5 below. 4.2 Site Matters We understand that the PCC will provide any scaffolding required and toilet and welfare facilities, and that electricity will be provided by the Employer free of charge. We are to provide

  • Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws
    Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws SLR 02/10: Closing date for responses – 25 June 2010 BACKGROUND NOTES ON STATUTE LAW REPEALS (SLR) What is it? 1. Our SLR work involves repealing statutes that are no longer of practical utility. The purpose is to modernise and simplify the statute book, thereby reducing its size and thus saving the time of lawyers and others who use it. This in turn helps to avoid unnecessary costs. It also stops people being misled by obsolete laws that masquerade as live law. If an Act features still in the statute book and is referred to in text-books, people reasonably enough assume that it must mean something. Who does it? 2. Our SLR work is carried out by the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission pursuant to section 3(1) of the Law Commissions Act 1965. Section 3(1) imposes a duty on both Commissions to keep the law under review “with a view to its systematic development and reform, including in particular ... the repeal of obsolete and unnecessary enactments, the reduction of the number of separate enactments and generally the simplification and modernisation of the law”. Statute Law (Repeals) Bill 3. Implementation of the Commissions’ SLR proposals is by means of special Statute Law (Repeals) Bills. 18 such Bills have been enacted since 1965 repealing more than 2000 whole Acts and achieving partial repeals in thousands of others. Broadly speaking the remit of a Statute Law (Repeals) Bill extends to any enactment passed at Westminster. Accordingly it is capable of repealing obsolete statutory text throughout the United Kingdom (i.e.

This states that a landscape character assessment linked to criteria based policy approach should provide sufficient protection for these areas provided such designations are based on a formal and robust assessment of the qualities of the landscape concerned. Against this background, Chris Burnett Associates (CBA) were commissioned to undertake a review of the Surrey AGLV by the Surrey Planning Officers Association. (SPOA) The study commenced with a review of historic background. It established that the Surrey Hills AONB is closely linked with the designation of the AGLV. The first County Plan approved in 1958 showed the first AGLV area, which was a smaller area incorporating the North Downs escarpment and the area of Greensand Hills surrounding Leith Hill.

See Principles on main webpage. Wooded hills, village In Brief This is a glorious undemanding walk round a Surrey beauty spot with views in all directions. You can combine this walk with Hascombe and Hydon’s Ball in a figure-of-eight. The White Horse pub, the start and end point of this walk, is an original coaching inn, dating back to the 1500s. The White Horse has a large garden and a restaurant serving locally-sourced food, described as good value by walkers. Note that the pub doesn’t open till 12 noon . The bar is open every day. Food is also available every day, all day from midday at weekends. Unusually perhaps, the pub also offers coffee and afternoon tea and an imaginative selection of soft drinks. For enquiries, ring 01483- 208258. All the paths on this walk are wide and easy to follow, but you will benefit from wearing boots because many of the paths are shared with horses and tend to get churned up. Any kind of sensible clothing will be fine. It is a quite perfect walk for your dog too.
