  • 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.

    A SELF-GUIDED WALKING TOUR OF MONTROSE PARK Montrose Park Historic District Association Our mission is to promote, preserve, and beautify the Montrose Park Historic District, maintain its integrity, and enhance the quality of life for all residents. Montrose Park Historic District Association is a non-profit, tax exempt organization under the IRS Code 501(c)(3) MONTROSE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT ASSOCIATION This walking tour celebrates the rich architectural heritage concentrated in South Orange and particularly in the Montrose Park neighborhood, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1997. This tour doesn’t cover every house but highlights some of the more interesting homes in a structured leisurely walk that you can complete in about an hour. MPHDA thanks Janet Foster, a historic preservation consultant, for her assistance in curating the stops on this walk and for the written commentary, both about the houses featured and the development of the area we call Montrose Park. Walking instructions are in RED; Individual house addresses are in bold. BEGIN THE TOUR IN GROVE PARK, NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF GROVE ROAD AND RALSTON AVENUE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE ORIGINS OF MONTROSE PARK In the mid-19th century, the Oranges were both traditional farming communities and emerging “resort” areas. “Mountain Station” was established by the 1840s along the Morris & Essex Railroad to serve the Mountain House, a fashionable hotel and spa located on the hill behind the Mountain Station. It advertised that South Orange and the hill to its west made it the “Switzerland of America”. Clearly, most people visiting had not been to Switzerland, or had even seen the Rockies.

  • Hunsdon Village Centre Contains Many Old Houses, Some Known to Date Back to at Least the 15Th Century. There Are No Known Dwelli
    Hunsdon village centre contains many old houses, some known to date back to at least the 15th century. There are no known dwellings dating back before about this time, although a few old hall houses in the area are probably older, and Hunsdon was registered in the Domesday Book (1086). The village centre is dominated by what is today the Village Hall. This had previously been the village school before the more modern one was built further up Widford Road. This building was originally believed to be a house called Harlowes, owned by John Harlowe in the 15th century, which overlooked Harlowes Green, one of the 5 Greens in the Parish, and which is now the Crown public house car park and a small green on which stands the War Memorial. It was certainly being run as a school in 1806, when Mrs Calvert of Hunsdon House was assisting the then schoolmistress.The Calverts were instrumental in enlarging and adding to the building about that time to improve the features of the school.The two adjoining houses were probably built on by the Calverts in about 1817 when major renovation by them was being undertaken to the school building, to make a more attractive centre for the village. To the right of the Village Hall is a 15th century house, called White Horses because of the two carved brackets either side of the front.These were probably added by one of the owners in the early 18th century, however the bay window on the side was added in the 19th century.This 3 storey house, much modified over the centuries, contrasts strangely with the apparently matching two storey but much later 17th century Rose Cottage on the left of the group, previously called Ivy Cottage.

  • Medieval & Post-Medieval Finds from Exeter
    MEDIEVAL & POST-MEDIEVAL FINDS FROM EXETER 1971-1980 J.P. ALLAN EXETER ARCHAEOLOGICAL REPORTS : 3 The city of Exeter was one of the largest and most prosperous of British historic towns. For much of the period 1000-1800 it ranked amongst the top six English provincial centres and served as the social, ecclesiastical, indust­ rial and commercial capital of the South-West. In the 16th to 18th centuries the prodigious volume of woollens passing through the port of Exeter brought the city into trading rela­ tions with many places in Northern Europe, the Western Mediterranean and the Americas. Between 1971 and 1980 the Exeter Museums Archaeological Field Unit carried out over 30 excavations in the city which recovered an exceptionally rich and varied collection of finds . These include the largest and best-dated assemblages of medieval and post-medieval pottery from South-West England, derived from stratified sequences and numerous pit groups dating from Saxo-Norman times down to the later 18th century. The finds from Exeter comprise a wide range of imported wares together with important collections of glass, metalwork, coinage and objects of leath­ er and wood. Medieval and Post-medieval Finds from Exeter presents a catalogue and quantified analysis of all the finds from the recent excavations as well as the most important unpublished material from pre-1971 sites. There are general discus­ sions of each class of artefact by John Allan and 38 other British and Continental specialist contributors. Throughout the volume exten­ sive use has been made of the exceptionally rich body of documentary evidence from the city.

EXCAVATION The house has been restored by the present owners Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Knott, and during the course of restoration in 1965 it was possible to excavate an area within the limits of the hall (Fig. 1) before the builders laid down a new concrete floor. A hearth was found in the position likely to have been used for a central fire in an open hall, and with the hearth were associated two clay floors and a layer of rubbish 'sandwiched' between them (Fig. 2). The hearth was evidenced by a quantity of packed hard clay, burnt red and associated with a dark rubbish layer containing tile fragments, oyster shells and sherds. The hearth was contiguous with the earliest clay floor found which overlaid a close-packed layer of flints. The sherds from the rubbish layer are datable to a period extending from the mid-fourteenth to the fifteenth century, and being contemporaneous with the hearth seem to confirm the suggested date of the fourteenth century for the erection of the extant hall-house. This is based on the assumption that the hearth discovered was in fact used in the existing house and not in some earlier structure; this unfortunately cannot be archmologically proved for the following reason: The earlier, and lower, clay floor designated 1 in Fig.

  • Bildeston Conservation Area Appraisal
    Bildeston conservation area appraisal Introduction The conservation area in Bildeston was originally designated by West Suffolk County Council in 1973, and inherited by Babergh District Council at its inception in 1974. The Council has a duty to review its conservation area designations from time to time, and this appraisal examines Bildeston under a number of different headings as set out in English Heritage’s new ‘Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisals’ (2006). As such it is a straightforward appraisal of Bildeston’s built environment in conservation terms. As a document it is neither prescriptive nor overly descriptive, but more a demonstration of ‘quality of place’, sufficient for the briefing of the Planning Officer when assessing proposed works in the area. The photographs and maps are thus intended to contribute as much as the text itself. As the English Heritage guidelines point out, the appraisal is to be read as a general overview, rather than as a comprehensive listing, and the omission of any particular building, feature or space does not imply that it is of no interest in conservation terms. Text, photographs and map overlays by Patrick Taylor, Conservation Architect, Babergh District Council 2010. Topographical Framework The village of Bildeston is situated in south central Suffolk, about five miles north of the market town of Hadleigh and seven miles east of Lavenham. The majority of the settlement sits on the east bank of a tributary of the River Brett, which flows south from here down through Hadleigh and onwards to join the Stour at Higham. Only the farm attached to Bildeston Hall sits on the west bank within the village and the remote Church is about half a mile further west.
