A company limited by guarantee and Registered in Registration No. 897822 Registered Charity No. 254094 Registered Office: 2 Priory Road, , NG2 SHU Telephone: Nottingham 819622 (STD 0602) Twenty-FifthAnnual Report 1991-92 REPORT ON THE YEAR'S ACTIVITIES OffICERS During the year, the Trust has suffered from the effects of the recession, Chairman: Cllr. R.P. Gilbert especially from the fall in property prices and the slump in the housing market. Vi ce-Chai rman: Cllr. M.E. Adlingt on This would be an ideal time to purchase buildings under threat and to invest in Honorary Legal Adviser: Mr. C.P. McKay MA future projects for the revolving fund programme. Honorary Secretary: Mr. G.A. Turner RIBA Honorary Treasurer: Mr. J. farrer IPfA IRRV Unfortuna tely, the Trust, like many ot·her Building Preserva tion Trusts, is caught in the situation where its capital and money borrowed is tied up in buildings which stand restored but unsold.

This six almshouses at St. Leonard's Court, Newark, purchased by the Trust and MEMBERSOf THE COUNCILOf MANAGEMENT largely financed by a loan from the Architectural Heri t.age Fund, have been restored and refurbished to a high standard. The contribution to the street scene Mrs. C. Atkins (CPRE - Branch) in the heart of Newark Town Centre is considerable and represents an excellent Mrs. J. Bennett example of conservation in action. The decision whether to let the properties on Cllr. K. Bullivant (Nottinghamshire County Council) short term leases or to reduce the selling price dramatically has been exercising Mr. D.C. Catchpole the mind of the Council of Management for some time. The position is being Mr. R. Cullen (Civic Soci et y) monitored weekly. Mrs. K. Cutts Mr . D.N. Durant (Notti nghamshire Local History Council) The Revolving Fund Committee/Technical Panel has met at regular intervals over the Cllr. P.W. Evans (Rushcl iffe Bor ough Council) year to consider buildings at risk, planning applications and to give detailed Mr. P. Grover (Newark & Sherwood Di s t ri ct Counci l ) consideration to problems as they arise. The Panel has completed a comprehensive Cllr. J.H.V. Hall (Basset law District Counci l) list of buildings under possible threat from neglect or overdevelopment and this Cllr. R.M. Hardy (Gedli ng Borough Council) is being constantly monitored. Mr. f.N. Hoskins Cllr . Mrs. C.E.M. J effreys (Nottinghamshire County Council) Comments on planning applications, which affect listed buildings or sites within Mr. E.D. Kearsley f RI BA (Thoro ton Soci ety) Conservation Areas, occupy a considerable amount of time and effort. These Cllr. D.J. Kl rkham (Not tinghams hi re County Council) numbered over three hundred during the year but it was pleasing to see that the Cllr. T.A.J. Petteng el l (Broxt owe Borough Council ) comments were well received by the District Councils and reflected in their Cllr. P. Prebble (New3rk '" She rwood Di strict Council) decisions. Mrs. J. Punt Cllr. M. Riasat (Not tinghamshire County Council) The technical advisers were involved in the repair and restoration of Serlby Hall , Mrs. H. Silv est er which included some rather difficult decisions as to how the restoration should Cllr. B.G. Smith (Notti nghamshire County Council) best be carried out. Serlby Hall was built between 1751 and 1777 for the 2nd Cllr. G. Wat.son (Ashfie ld Di str ic t Council) Viscount Galway and designed by a leading architect of the time, James Paine. The Cllr. M. Wood () house was remodelled in 1812 by the lesser known architects, Lindley & Woodhead.

It was very fortunate that Serlby Hall should be purchased by a new wealthy owner who was advised by a well-informed Scottish architect. The basic repair work was CO-OPTED MEMBERS carried out to a high standard but some controversy arose Hhen it was proposed to restore the building in some vital areas to the Paine original design. This Mr. S.M. Allebon involved some demolition and some replica work, especially the rebuilding of the Mr. G. Beaumont original circular staircase which had been replaced in the 1812 alterations by a Mr. L. Godlewski Regency style staircase. The matter was discussed at many levels and a party from Mr. G.A. Turner the Trust visited the Hall to see the problems at first hand. It now appears that Mr. A.J. Wahlers the Paine lobby has been successful in convincing English Heri tage and a majority of the Trust's Technical Panel that their argument is the better one. It is hoped that a visit to Serlby Hall can be arranged in the year ahead for all MEMBERS Of THE TECHNICALPANEL Trust members to have a chance to see the restored building. Mr. B.M. Allebon Mr. L. Godl ewski Ms. N. Ashurst Mr. f.N. Hoskins The Nottinghamshire Heritage magazine, which included a contribution from the Mr. G. Beaumont Mr. M. Hurst Trust, has now unfortunately ceased publication. It will be replaced by the Trust Mr. D.N. Durant Dr. J.R. Samuel s Newsletter, written and produced by Trust members, in the hope that sufficient Mr. J. farrer Mr. J.A. Sever n contributions will be forthcoming to produce regular editions. Mr. C. Glenn Mr. G.A. Turner Mr. P. Grover Mr. A.J.

1) Freehold Property - The Company has purchased and renovated for resale six cottages at St. Leonard's Court, Newark, Notts., the cost of the development being shown on the balance sheet.

The project was financed by the Architectural Heritage Fund who have a first charge on the property and National Westminster Bank Plc who have a second charge, the balance being financed from the Trust's own funds.

REPORTOF THE AUDITORTO THE MEMBERS

I have audit.ed the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March 1992 in accordance with auditing standards, having regard to the following matters:

The Trust, in common with many Charities, derives a sUbstantial proportion of its income from legacies and other voluntary donations. These cannot be fully controlled until they are entered in the accounting records and are not therefore capable of independent audit verification.

Subject to the foregoing, in my oplnlon the Financial Statements, which have been prepared under the historical cost convention, give a true and fair view of the state of the Trust's affairs at 31st March 1992 and of the results shown on the Income and Expenditure Account for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act 1985.
