As the copy for this f,'alendar goes to the printer the staff are beginning to breathe again after the panic of getting the Festival Exhibitions open. Through the years the older hands get used to the idea that every exhibition, an hour or so before opening, looks as though a bomb had fallen in its fp midst and a curious despair sets in. The next crisis one has sometimes to weather Ile I may be brought about by those ghastly little errors over things like dates of open- ing or closing to be found in posters and handouts; usually these are first dis- covered by the most innocent and well- meaning members of our public. It is a wonder that museum people are not more neurotic than they are. Apart from their content the exhibitions put on to coincide with the Triennial Musical Festival of I c)70 were administratively remarkable on two counts. Because we did not want to leave Lotherton out, particularly during its first year of running, there had to be three of them all ready for opening within a week of each other.

  • THE COUNTRY HOUSE, YESTERDAY and TOMORROW, Giles Waterfield. the Idea of the 'House Museum' Is a Less Familiar Concept in Br
    THE COUNTRY HOUSE, YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW, Giles Waterfield. The idea of the ‘house museum’ is a less familiar concept in Britain than it is in the United States. The idea of presenting houses as narratives of national history, or as symbols of what is perceived as the beauty and serenity of the past, has not been enunciated as a motivating factor in their presentation in Britain, as it has in the States. There is no equivalent to Colonial Williamsburg, and most historic houses (particularly those in private ownership) would not regard themselves as ‘house museums’, rather as living properties still in residential occupation. Perhaps as a result, formal and informal learning have, at least until recently, been much less developed in Britain than in the USA. Houses have been open to visitors since the late seventeenth century, and were generally shown by servants to ‘polite’ visitors who would indicate important works of art and family portraits. This approach lasted well into the twentieth century: in the 1950s and 1960s there was very little interest in social history or the way in which houses were used. A major change occurred in the late 1970s with the publication of Marc Girouard’s Life in the English Country House, and the opening to the public of Erddig in Wales, with its collection of servant portraits and poems. There for the fist time in a National Trust property, visitors entered not by the front door but through the service quarters. • OPENING DOORS This report was published by the Attingham Trust in 2004, edited by Giles Waterfield.

  • Holy Wells: a Source of Inspiration Or an Archaeological Distraction?
    The Archaeological Forum Journal: CBA Yorkshire Volume 3 | 2014 (41–46) Holy Wells: a source of inspiration or an archaeological distraction? Dave Weldrake Corresponding author Heritage Education [email protected] Keywords Holy wells, Water troughs, Archaeology, Folklore Introduction In recent years, much has been written about the subject of holy wells (e.g. Bord 2006; Bord 2008; Harte 2008; Rattue 1995; Weldrake 2013; Weldrake n.d. 1; Whelan 2001). The material is of varying quality and with few exceptions seems to concentrate on the folklore elements of the subject. This interest is reflected in English Heritage’s Single Monument Class Description which defines a holy well as follows: ‘The term holy well is used to define a wide variety of water sources which have specifically religious associations. Specifically Christian associations of springs and wells can tentatively be dated from at least the sixth century. The cult of the holy well remained strong in the British Isles throughout the Middle Ages, but was curbed at the Reformation.’ (Bond 1990). This article will argue that using folklore in this manner is a serious distraction and that a better approach would be to study all wells in terms of their construction, function and social associations. Those that have religious or ritual connotations would then be seen to be only a sub-group of a much larger assemblage. The majority of examples to be considered are from West Yorkshire where the author lives and works. Definition One of the problems in making this study is defining exactly what is being considered. In common parlance the words well and trough are often seen as being interchangeable.

  • A LAKE DISTRICT CUPBOARD Noel Riley
    A LAKE DISTRICT CUPBOARD Noel Riley Until recently, the splendid three-tiered cupboard illustrated in figure i was built into a farm-house in Calthwaite, near Penrith, Cumbria where it had been a fixture for many years. Such pieces, in a domestic setting, can provide useful clues to the identification of other furniture from the same region. But caution must be exercised in using them as yardsticks: their regionality may be broader than first impressions suggest. When first acquired by its present owner in Yoxford, Suffolk, the cupboard was in unrestored condition, with about four layers of dark paint and a top coat of black pitch-like varnish on all its outer surfaces except the top, back and one end. These paint layers were thought to date from the early nineteenth century and later. The back was whitewashed, while the top and end were ‘raw’, with no evidence of paint, polish or exposure to light. The existence of so many paint layers on the rest of the piece indicates that it must have been fixed in the house for many generations, possibly for the whole of its existence. In his introduction to the catalogue for the exhibition Oak Furniture from Lancashire and the Lake District at Temple Newsam in 1973,1 Anthony Wells- Cole drew attention to the large numbers of surviving cupboards relative to other kinds of furniture recorded in the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments Inventory of Westmorland in 1936. Nearly all of them date from between 1650 and 1720 when, during a period of stability and agricultural prosperity in the region, large numbers of stone houses were built and furnished.

    "Best Historic Locations in Leeds" Created By: Cityseeker 10 Locations Bookmarked Town Hall "An Architectural Delight" A stunning hybrid of classical Greek and baroque styles, this mid 19th- century public building is perhaps Leeds' most well-known landmark. Built by Charles Broderick between 1853 and 1858, it features a facade of giant columns supporting an elaborate domed tower. The richly decorated interior is equally spectacular, with statues by Matthew Noble sitting by Martyn M aka Martyx beneath ornate plaster ceilings. As well as being of great historical and architectural interest, the Town Hall is one of the city's premier music venues, hosting events including Lunchtime Organ Music and the International Concert Season. +44 113 224 3801 (Box Office) www.leedstownhall.co.uk/ The Headrow, Leeds Park Square "A Perfect Place To Get Away From It All" At the end of the 18th Century this elegant square was the most fashionable and salubrious residential area of Leeds. Typically late Georgian in style and character, its secluded garden and surrounding terraces of red-brick houses remain largely unspoiled by later development, making it a popular lunchtime spot for local office workers. by Mtaylor848 It is especially lovely in the spring and summer when the attractive flower beds burst into a riot of color and fragrance. +44 113 242 5242 (Tourist Information) Off St Paul's Street, Leeds Middleton Railway "The World's First Commercial Railway" While it may not quite be a train-spotting heaven, Middleton Railway is home to an impressive range of steam and diesel locomotives, some of which date from the 19th Century.

Page 1 [email protected] Friday 31st January 2020 Challenge & Celebration Week—July 2020 By Mr M Rignall: Senior Assistant Headteacher (IGS); Associate Deputy Principal at (TSA); Educational Visits Coordinator Extra-curricular opportunities and enrichment visits are an important and memorable part of education. They enhance learning, enable students to grow in self-confidence and independence and allow them the chance to show leadership and teamwork skills. At Ilkley Grammar School, we aim to provide our students with a variety of experiences throughout their time with us. In light of this, the school’s seventh Challenge and Celebration Week will take place between Monday July 13th and Friday July 17th 2020. All students will be off timetable during this week following a programme of either school based, off site or residential activities bespoke to their year group. Activities build on each other from year to year, allowing students to experience a range of opportunities throughout their school life. It is hoped that tutors will accompany their forms as much as possible throughout this time, enabling them to further deepen the bond they have with their tutees. Student leadership opportunities are embedded within the programme. The role of older students in supporting the successful running of the week is crucial and Year 12 students are very much expected to be fully involved in the week in a number of ways of their choosing.
