Wellingborough Museum Committee Appendix 1 WELLINGBOROUGH MUSEUM COMMITTEE SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT Saturday, 26th February 2011 at 4.30pm INTRODUCTION This report reflects the work of Wellingborough Museum Committee during the period February 2010 to February 2011. This is the sixth time the report has been written by the Committee elected by the Museum Volunteers and is representative of the work that has been carried out during the year. The committee consists of: Delia Keech Chairman Judith Thompson Vice Chairman Barbara Lees Minutes Secretary John Goddard Curator Emeritus Eileen Baxter Melody Kelly Ian Nunney Patricia Soane Christine Riddle Daksha Tailor Helen Wharton Robert Wharton Trustee representative The Wellingborough Museum Committee, which meets each month, concentrates on the exhibition of artefacts and documentation. It is important that we display as many items as we can in both long term and short term exhibitions. The minutes of the monthly meetings are emailed to volunteers and are also placed on the back counter in the shop area of the museum. VOLUNTEERS Volunteers play a huge role in the development of the museum. There are over 70 of us helping on a weekly basis both in the shop and behind the scenes. New volunteers include: Sheila Andrew Sheila Cockerill Kathleen Beale Cheryl Hale Carole Chatwyn Christine Jones Paul Chatwyn Olivia Main Thanks to everyone who has contributed during the year. We have also had help from Isobelle Breslin, Jacob Chennell and Emily Thorpe. They spent their Work Experience time with us and have done some voluntary work with us since. We now have a curatorial adviser, Simon Davies, who works for the MLA and is working with us on Accreditation. CATALOGUING AND ARTEFACTS There are now over 37,000 artefacts on the computer database. Work has continued on ensuring that all the items are entered on to the computer and that they are either photographed or scanned. We also have over 7500 photographs in our photographic collection compared to about 1000 in the year 2000. Amongst the artefacts accessioned this year are: Winifred Wharton Lace Collection a large part of which is in the display case in the café area.

Ian writes a monthly column in the Evening Telegraph. The paper also frequently uses photographs from our photographic collection in their nostalgia articles. VISITOR NUMBERS AND VISITS TO THE MUSEUM During 2010 we had 28,918 visitors to the museum. We do not include in that figure our visits to schools and talks to groups, or visitors to our external exhibitions. This is a smaller increase than in previous years. This can be accounted for by very poor weather, which stopped our events during the Waendel Walk weekend, cold snowy weather in January and December, and the summer disruption caused by road works to the town centre. We have had daytime visits from the following schools: Wrenn, Wellingborough School, Sir Christopher Hatton, Warwick Primary, All Saints, Freemans, Oakway, Croyland Primary School, East Hunsbury Primary School, Denfield Park Junior School, Ruskin Infant School, Wellingborough School Pre-Prep, and Our Lady’s Holiday Club. Redwell Primary School spent a Victorian Day at the museum arranged by our volunteer, Christine Green. In addition Ian has visited Warwick Primary School as a Roman, an Egyptian and to talk about life in the Second World War, Higham Junior School to talk about life in the Second World War, Wollaston Primary School to talk about the Saxons, Wilby School, Friars School as a World War One soldier and Ruskin Infant school as an archaeologist. In total well over 1000 pupils have visited the museum to study various aspects of the National Curriculum. THE GALLERIES DOWNSTAIRS – Showcases from pre-history to the 2nd World War. The Bronze Age artefacts found at Wilby Way have now been displayed. Jenny Whitby has recreated the skeleton, known to us as ‘Will’. Coins from the Irchester Hoard and the strainers found in Irchester are now on display. We have an additional low showcase which has been used to display artefacts connected with special exhibitions and also to show newly accessioned artefacts. Showcases, which will be used for Wellingborough industry, have been placed in the Engine Room together with a K6 red telephone box. A considerable amount of work is still needed to be done in this area before it can be opened fully to the public. CAFÉ AREA – showcases containing Winifred Wharton lace collection, artefacts connected with the shoe industry and the bottle collection UPSTAIRS – work has continued on the Model Railway. The additional showcase by the side of the railway is used for railway artefacts and Royal memorabilia. Work has continued on providing additional text in the ironmongers, laundry and Second World War areas. LANDING – Two showcases of toys belonging to Osborne’s Toy shop in Rushden. They are responsible for changing this collection on a regular basis. Showcase on the development of photography. The cameras in this case belong to Maurice Palmer and he changes the collection on a regular basis. The map display case includes the complete set of Wellingborough in 1886. The open space on the landing is being used by the Film Archive to show some of their large collection of cameras. DULLEY ROOM In addition to regular use

    Cognita School QHS Newsletter Autumn Term 2016 Dear Parents Contents: Recently I asked one of my colleagues, what was their reason for staying in teaching for so many years. Their reply was that they loved doing a job where no two days were the same, where you never knew exactly what was going to happen. I’m not sure if that is why I have stayed in education for so long but there is no denying the variety of my job as Headteacher. The run up to the Christmas holidays has included handing out Year 11 Mock examination results, taking part in a Christingle Service with Reception, Q1 and Q2, handing out raffle p1. Letter from Ms Co- prizes at the Senior Citizens Christmas event, watching a Nativity, attending Parents’ Eve- zens nings, listening to concerts and who could have failed to be touched when Nursery visited my office to post their letters to Santa in my ‘magic fireplace’. It is very true that no two p2. Shakespeare Festi- days are ever the same, but there are underlying principles that do remain the same every val day.

    NOR THAMPTONS ~HIRE'~~ PAST & PRESENT ~nqitnt and MODERN . .. large or small. Fine building is synonymous with Robert Marriott Ltd., a member of the Robert Marriott Group, famous for quality building since 1890. In the past 80 years Marriotts have established a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship on the largest and small­ est scales. Whether it is a £7,000,000 housing contract near Bletchley, a new head­ quarters for Buckinghamshire County Council at Aylesbury (right) or restor­ ation and alterations to Easton Maudit Church (left) Marriotts have the experi­ ence, the expertise and the men to carry out work of the most exacting standards and to a strict schedule. In the last century Marriotts made a name for itself by the skill of its crafts­ men employed on restoring buildings of great historical importance. A re­ markable tribute to the firm's founder, the late Mr. Robert Marriott was paid in 1948 by Sir Albert Richardson, later President of the Royal Academy, when he said: "He was a master builder of the calibre of the Grimbolds and other famous country men. He spared no pains and placed ultimate good before financial gain. No mean craftsman him­ self, he demanded similar excellence from his helpers." Three-quarters of a century later Marriotts' highly specialised Special Projects Division displays the same inherent skills in the same delicate work on buildings throughout the Midlands. To date Hatfield House, Long Melford Hall in Suffolk, the Branch Library at Earls Barton, the restoration of Castle Cottage at Higham Ferrers, Fisons Ltd., Cambridge, Greens Norton School, Woburn Abbey restorations and the Falcon Inn, Castle Ashby, all bear witness to the craftsmanship of Marriotts.

  • Wellingborough School Cricket Academy
    Post: Cricket Professional Date of Issue: September 2019 The School Wellingborough is a School that is keenly aware of its history and traditions, but not held back by them. Founded in 1595, it has always sought to make bold and timely decisions in order to ensure that the pupils are able to flourish and thrive, and that the nature of the School supports this aim. The School moved to its current site in 1881 to support its growth, but leaving the town centre did not reduce the importance it places on its links with the local community. Our pupils and staff lead and support a number of initiatives, engaging with other schools, businesses and charities in Wellingborough and the surrounding area. Girls were first taught here nearly 50 years ago, and the School became fully co- educational in 1979. Girls now make up more than 40% of the pupil body. We welcomed pupils below the age of 8 for the first time in 1990 with the introduction of a Pre-Prep in a purpose-built facility, just a few years before converting to a day school at the turn of the century. Each of these changes has strengthened the School’s ability to maintain its appeal to a diverse range of pupils, a feature which is part of its core and attracts families from across five counties. Academic achievement is important but we focus on adding value and look to accept every child who we believe will be happy in our environment. We are extremely proud of our pastoral care, and believe that we are far ahead of most schools with regard to pupil welfare.
