The awards celebrated the most innovative and ground-breaking initiatives of last year from museums, galleries and heritage visitor attractions across the UK and overseas. Talking about English Heritage’s Tintagel Castle Bridge, recipient of the award for Permanent Exhibitioin of the Year, chair of the awards judging panel Dr Matthew Tanner MBE, chief executive of SS Great Britain, noted: “it is not only brave, it is extraordinary, bewitching and beautiful and has enabled the genuine story of place to be told in an astonishingly original way.” The event’s online format is not the only first for 2020, with this year’s categories having been bolstered by the addition of the new Sustainable Project of the Year award, which was sponsored by National Lottery Heritage Fund. The Museum of Oxford scooped this inaugural prize, for its temporary exhibition Queering Spires: a history of LGBTIQA+ spaces in Oxford. The temporary exhibition opened in September 2019 and was created with an ‘environmentally and socially responsible ethos’. One of its main aims was to reduce the amount of waste a temporary exhibition often creates and the judges were impressed by the Museum of Oxford’s commitment and authenticity in putting sustainability at the very heart of the project, recommending it as a model that could be replicated across the sector.

  • For Reference Only
    FOR REFERENCE ONLY FRANCIS CLOSE HALL LEARNING CENTRE UNIVERSITY OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE Swindon Road, Cheltenham GLSO 4AZ Tel: 01242 714600 VOLUNTEER - RUN MUSEUMS IN ENGLISH MARKET TOWNS AND VILLAGES BRIDGET ELIZABETH YATES A Thesis submitted to The University of Gloucestershire In accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Faculty of Education, Humanities and Sciences December 2010 ABSTRACT VOLUNTEER-RUN MUSEUMS IN ENGLISH MARKET TOWNS AND VILLAGES Volunteer-run museums in English market towns and villages have been largely over-looked by scholars examining the history and development of museums in England, and work on contemporary museum volunteering or the relations of museums to their communities have not distinguished between volunteer-run and volunteer-involving museums. This thesis attempts to redress the balance by examining a number of volunteer-run museums in Dorset and the characteristics and motivations of the volunteers involved in their development. This element of the project included a survey of museum volunteers in the county and studies of a selected group of museums through interviews and through archival research in museum records. The thesis also presents a historical analysis, through a number of case histories, of the development of volunteer-run museums in English market towns and villages from 1884, demonstrating clearly how the development of these small museums reflects larger changes in the rural community from the paternalism of the late nineteenth century, through growing independence and democracy after 1918, to the counter­ urbanisation of the second half of the twentieth century. 1 Changing perceptions of rural identity are also apparent in the history of these museums.

  • Lord Williams's School Safe Routes to School
    Lord Williams’s School Safe Routes to School Safe Routes to School - the story so far Walking or cycling to school is an excellent way of improving fitness. Students who walk or cycle to school are more alert and ready to work in class too! Lord Williams’s School encourages all students who live in or near Thame to walk or cycle to school, following safe routes and travelling with friends if at all possible. We also hope that all students who come to school by bus walk to/from the bus stop in their village. Where there is no bus serving a particular village, we encourage families to share cars so that traffic congestion is reduced. Over recent years the school has worked with the local community and Oxfordshire County Council to promote safer walking and cycling to and from school. A small working group comprising school staff, parents, students and governors, met and developed a School Travel Plan. This plan outlines the main objectives we aspire to and specific targets to help us achieve them. Additional money from the government helped us to make good progress towards achieving our targets. Specific achievements We secured money from the government to help us redesign the dangerous access road to the Leisure Centre at Upper School to make it more cyclist & pedestrian friendly We lobbied the County Council to raise awareness of further dangerous crossing points in Thame Lower School students can now use a zebra crossing and footpath to enter school from Towersey Road, avoiding the car park exit that had been identified as dangerous

The Treasure Act relies on the time and expertise of many people across the country, including Finds Liaison Officers, funding partners and museum teams, who all deserve huge thanks for their hard work and contributions to the process. Finders and landowners are also at the heart of the Treasure Act and it’s brilliant to see 76 finders and landowners who donated their finds in 2018. I’d like to thank the Treasure Registry at the British Museum, the Amgueddfa Cymru/National Museum of Wales and the Department of Environment and Ulster Museum in Northern Ireland for their continued work to support the delivery of the Treasure Act across the UK. The Treasure Valuation Committee has also provided more expert advice this year, and I welcome their new chair, Roger Bland, who brings his formidable knowledge and expertise to the role.

  • Families Choose the Chilterns
    PRESS RELEASE Tuesday 4th June 2016 Families choose the Chilterns for activity and explo- ration, entertainment and education: located just 25 miles to the north west of London, historic market towns, tucked-away villages, manor houses, pubs, his- toric landscapes, chalk-fed streams and ancient woods all hint at exploring, tree-climbing, dressing-up, adventure-filled family days. Here are out Top 10 family experiences. 1. Chilterns Open Air Museum This 45-acre natural park includes 30 buildings that would have been lost from the Chilterns land- scape through natural decay or development. What makes this place special is these are not big houses or grand structures, but a working 19th century farmyard and a village with its green, cot- tages, forge and chapel. Animals and traditional machinery are still in use, and the museum stages a wide variety of family events that truly celebrates the Chilterns. Admission charge. http://www.coam.org.uk 2. Natural History Museum Tring A staple with local families, the wonderful galleries of this beautiful Victorian museum present everything from tiny dressed fleas to a smiling polar bear and domestic dogs. The fascinating range of animals was collected by Lionel Walter Rothschild, a remarkable character who kept an astonishing variety of live animals in the grounds around the Museum and in nearby Tring Park. Lionel Walter was a familiar sight in Tring, riding around town in his zebra-drawn carriage. Free www.nhm.ac.uk/visit/tring.html 3. The Big Friendly Summer at the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre Roald Dahl lived in Great Missenden for 36 years, weaving features of the village into many of his wonderful stories.
