Kedleston Hall (near Quarndon) Derby Derbyshire DE22 5JH The team at Kedleston Hall is currently developing a long term strategy to improve it's engagement with and offer for visitors and local people. We have an ambition to grow our reach to new local audiences, create a deeper connection with visitors, provide public benefit and create somewhere everyone feels welcome. We are embarking on a number of new projects which will develop the visitor offer and facilities at Kedleston Hall. These projects have the potential to connect with new audiences and we wish to inform the development of these projects based on the needs, values, motivations and drivers of new audiences. National Images/Nadia Trust Mackenzie © ), We would like to spend the next year as a project and property team in a ‘Year of listening’. The National Trust team at Kedleston is inviting quotes from suitably qualified individuals or organisations to help us to explore the following strands of work. Commissioned (NTPL 49326, 49326, NTPL Year of Listening: 4 strands Brief 1 - Internal Cultural Programme Brief 2 - Community Engagement A year-long programme of activities which brings new An on-going strand of work designed to identify and open voices in from outside to open up and introduce all our a dialogue with local communities who may have a cultural staff and volunteers to new perspectives, more complete connection with our collection and history.

Centring on deeper understanding of who they are, their motivations, 4 objects it will open wider questions about our colonial culture. It will be comprehensively evaluated with existing values and needs, their opinions on Kedleston and what we visitors, staff and volunteers. can do to be more welcoming and fulfil their needs. *This work stream is being led internally, however successful suppliers will be able to take part in and potentially use the resources of this work stream to link in with the delivery of the other three briefs. December, 2018 Four miles from Derby at Kedleston Hall, there is a museum of remarkable furniture and artefacts. The (so-called) Eastern Museum is a collection amassed by Lord Curzon (once Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905). It is this museum and its connected rooms with which the attached briefs are primarily focused. There is powerful potential for us to work in a new way, to create a space where we can care for these objects, and tell stories that move, teach and inspire our audiences – those that currently visit, and those we don’t yet represent. Over the next three years, we intend to change how the collection is displayed, how it is interpreted, whose voices are heard, which truths are represented, the way the property feels, and empower our people to authentically facilitate conversations and discussions with our visitors about this colonial collection. 2019 will be a ‘Year of Listening’ for us to listen to our visitors, non-visitors, community, supporters and to regional and national thought-leaders. We would like to spend the next year, as a project and property team in the ‘Year of listening’, to get a greater understanding of the history of Colonialism, improve our knowledge of the collection, start to explore the conversations which may occur around the subject and embark on new partnerships to help inform future plans. There are four strands to this year – each overlapping but separated out here for clarity. We are seeking individuals, partnerships or organisations who can respond to different parts of the brief, or in some cases more than one part. You will be working closely with our ‘Listening Team’ consisting of key National Trust staff. Your main point of contact will be Josephine Watkinson, property-based Visitor Experience Manager at Kedleston Hall. 1303275, NTPL Commissioned (NTPL) ©National Trust Images/James Dobson Brief 1: Internal Cultural Programme “Before we can change what we do, we first need to change ourselves” Kedleston Hall is ready to change what we do – but this change is not just about how we present this place or its collections, and it’s not just about who we choose to work with, It is also about ourselves. The subject of British colonial history and the part that Kedleston and George Nathaniel Curzon played is not a well-known story. Colonial history is not taught in most British schools and there is a widespread lack of awareness and familiarity with this subject. Kedleston has a front-line of some 350 staff and volunteers. And we want, and need, to learn more about our history, hear different voices and respond to these, and have the time and space to discuss. We need to develop confidence and engagement with the material and cultivate a shared sense of values and ways of discussing colonial history with each other and with our visitors. We are therefore seeking support to help us to curate an internal programme of activity over the next 1-2 years. Images (top to bottom) © National Trust Images/David Levenson. © Steve Franklin/NTPL. Brief 1 Year of Listening, December, 2018 The internal programme could include: • Events • Workshops • Discussions • External visits We are looking to you to help us find the most effective techniques and mediums to engage with our internal team. In developing your ideas you will need to consider how your proposals will fit with our existing rhythms of life at Kedleston, and be prepared to engaging with people in small or large groups, face to face, and via mediums that reach those unable to attend meetings. We would like some light-touch evaluation at the beginning and at the end of the programme to measure the impact made. In addition, we’d welcome ongoing suggestions of additional material to read/watch/visit and the circulation of interesting debates on television and twitter, a monthly film programme etc. to keep the learning going in-between the programmed events. Images from top to bottom: 1363315, ©National Trust Images/John Millar. Who you’d be working with You would have support from the Kedleston team of staff, volunteers and National Trust consultants. We would help to organise and manage the events, advising on locations, capacity and advertising internally. We would create a programme team so you have regular and reliable points of contact. The team would talk through each event and help to refine the suggested programme to one we know would work for our audience and content. The internal team would also be present and active at every event, being clear that this was a joint effort. We are also putting out a parallel brief to seek support with working collaboratively with our local community of South East Asian Heritage to learn more about how Kedleston can become more welcoming to a wider audience, work to understand how we can add value and meet the needs of a wider audience and finally to understand how different audiences respond to our collection. What happens after the first year? Following the evaluation of the programme, we will continue with a similar approach for at least the next two years, and beyond. This is not a programme we ever see as being ‘finished’. We are looking for an organisation/individual who: - Has worked with contested/difficult subject matters and has an understanding of Indian/Indian sub-continent colonial history - Has a wide network of cultural commentators, academics, practitioners within the field of Indian/Indian sub-continent colonial history - Is emotionally resilient and has experience dealing with challenging situations. - Has worked with volunteers Brief 1 Year of Listening, December, 2018 195193 ©National Trust Images/Paul Harris We would like as part of this year to start exploring how our local communities, communities of interest, and our supporters engage with the subject and the collection. We also want to understand our local communities better and to start to explore how Kedleston can become a cultural resource and what our local community needs from us.

(This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

    Public Agenda Item No. 4(h) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING OF CABINET MEMBER – JOBS, ECONOMY AND TRANSPORT 30 September 2014 Report of the Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Environment CONSULTATION ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE AMBER VALLEY LOCAL PLAN PART 1 CORE STRATEGY (1) Purpose of the Report To agree the County Council’s response to Amber Valley Borough Council’s (AVBC) public consultation on its Proposed Changes to the Amber Valley Local Plan Part 1 Core Strategy (Proposed Changes). (2) Information and Analysis The Amber Valley Local Plan Part 1: Submission Core Strategy (Submission Core Strategy) was submitted to the Secretary of State by AVBC on 20 December 2013. An Examination in Public (EIP) of the Plan was subsequently conducted by a Government Inspector (Roy Foster) between April and May 2014, on a number of key soundness issues identified by the Inspector, particularly that the housing target for both the Borough and wider Derby Housing Market Area (HMA) was too low and should be increased to meet the objectively assessed housing needs (OAHN) of both areas. He also raised concerns about the deliverability of the sites identified by AVBC in its five-year housing land supply. Specific issues and concerns relating to the Strategic Growth Sites in the Plan were also examined, particularly the proposed large urban extension sites north of Ripley and East of Codnor, and the need for the associated A610 Relief Road. The Inspector published his conclusions and recommendations on the EIP hearing sessions on 14 May 2014, and (particularly) recommended suspension of the EIP for a period of six months to allow AVBC further time to address his soundness concerns on these matters, with further evidence and collaborative working.
