Four Villages Diamond Jubilee Celebration Thanks to all the villagers who came together at Finstock Playing Fields on Sunday June 3rd to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The children started the event with a party and painted some wonderful Jubilee themed tiles. We have some budding artists amongst our children! It was lovely to see so many people join together for the community picnic despite the rain falling heavily. Having the time to sit and enjoy the company of good friends and neighbours in our busy lives made the picnic very special. We were wonderfully entertained by Mike Breakell playing his accordion. Ags Connolly started the evening entertainment with a great set and the band Free for All had us all dancing until Ags entertains at Jubilee midnight – starting with the National Anthem and ending with the National Anthem! Due to excellent bar sales, we were able to cover the costs of the event, and we have a small sum left over to contribute towards the children’s commemorative mugs (more details below). -

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. -
