The Church of the Holy Rood, Shilton
The Church of the Holy Rood, Shilton. Given to the Cistercian Monks in January 1205 and, today,still showing the form of their farming grange. Early Beginnings and Background. We do know that the Romans built churches in west Oxfordshire but do not know whether the Church of the Holy Rood was ever earlier than Saxon or Norman. Shilton was possibly a Saxon settlement, Scylfton, belonging to the Godwin family of which Harold was King at the Battle of Hastings. The village passed into ownership of the William I after the Conquest and then passed through many name iterations via Sculton, to Shulton and finally Shilton. Principal doorways to churches usually point south and the south aisle of this church with a closed off doorway, pointing south, and with a different roof pitch might indicate a smaller church existed once with a lost settlement to the south of it. Shilton probably originated as a Saxon village from the 8th or 9th Century AD. Since the Saxon period lasted from 600 AD until the Conquest it is possible that the church itself has Saxon origins, or that Saxon builders used their techniques to build this church to a Norman design in coursed rubble. Introduction. The church is one of 211 Grade II* listed buildings in West Oxfordshire and three tombs in the churchyard also have a Grade II listing. However, the listing descriptions and guide book entries for the Church of the Holy Rood are informative but bland and miss the interest and life evoked by many aspects of the church’s structure, artifacts, mysteries and treasures.

Sustainable Socialism: William Morris on Waste Elizabeth C
The Journal of Modern Craft Sustainable Socialism: Volume 4—Issue 1 William Morris on March 2011 pp. 7–26 Waste DOI: 10.2752/174967811X12949160068974 Elizabeth C. Miller Reprints available directly from the publishers Photocopying permitted by Elizabeth Carolyn Miller is Associate Professor of English at licence only the University of California, Davis. She is currently working © Berg 2011 on a book titled Slow Print: Print Culture and Late-Victorian Literary Radicalism. Her first book, Framed: The New Woman Criminal in British Culture at the Fin de Siècle, was published in 2008, and her articles have appeared in Modernism/Modernity, Feminist Studies, Literature Compass, Victorian Literature and Culture, The Journal of William Morris Studies, The Henry James Review, and elsewhere. Abstract While William Morris has long been recognized for his radical approach to the problem of labor, which built on the ideas of John Ruskin and informed his contributions to the Arts and Crafts philosophy, his ideas about waste have received much less attention. This article suggests that the Kelmscott Press, which Morris founded in 1891, was designed to embody the values of durability and sustainability in sharp contrast to the neophilia, disposability, and planned obsolescence of capitalist production. Many critics have dismissed the political value of Kelmscott Press on the basis of the handcrafted books’ expense and rarity, but by considering Morris’s work for Kelmscott in light of his fictional and non-fictional writings about waste around the time of the press’s conception, we can see how Kelmscott laid the groundwork for a philosophy of sustainable socialism. Keywords: William Morris, Kelmscott Press, printing, waste.

The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’S Art in Late Medieval England
The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’s Art in Late Medieval England Robert Beech A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis is about late medieval carpenters, their techniques and their art, and about the structure that became the fusion of their technical virtuosity and artistic creativity: the hammer-beam roof. The structural nature and origin of the hammer-beam roof is discussed, and it is argued that, although invented in the late thirteenth century, during the fourteenth century the hammer-beam roof became a developmental dead-end. In the early fifteenth century the hammer-beam roof suddenly blossomed into hundreds of structures of great technical proficiency and aesthetic acumen. The thesis assesses the role of the hammer-beam roof of Westminster Hall as the catalyst to such renewed enthusiasm. This structure is analysed and discussed in detail.

National Farmsteads Character Statement
National Farmsteads Character Statement On 1st April 2015 the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England changed its common name from English Heritage to Historic England. We are now re-branding all our documents. Although this document refers to English Heritage, it is still the Commission's current advice and guidance and will in due course be re-branded as Historic England. Please see our website for up to date contact information, and further advice. We welcome feedback to help improve this document, which will be periodically revised. Please email comments to [email protected] We are the government's expert advisory service for England's historic environment. We give constructive advice to local authorities, owners and the public. We champion historic places helping people to understand, value and care for them, now and for the future. HistoricEngland.org.uk/advice National Farmsteads Character Statement NATIONAL FARMSTEADS CHARACTER STATEMENT This document provides a summary introduction and a structured framework for understanding England’s traditional farmsteads. The same headings are used for each of the FARMSTEAD AND LANDSCAPE STATEMENTS under development for England’s National Character Areas (NCAs), and for any area guidance that uses the FARMSTEADS ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK. This has been developed as a land management and planning tool to help identify the character, significance and potential for change of farmsteads. All the statements have used a consistent terminology for describing farmsteads and their building types, which will allow users to identify and apply standardised indexing to farmstead types and their functional parts. This new thesaurus will be of use to Historic Environment Records and it is hoped to anyone involved in the recording of farmsteads.

Frobury Farmhouse, Kingsclere Hampshire
FROBURY FARMHOUSE, KINGSCLERE HAMPSHIRE Heritage Statement Bob Edwards Revised version December 2014 FORUM Heritage S e r v i c e s FROBURY FARMHOUSE, KINGSCLERE HAMPSHIRE Heritage Statement FORUM Heritage S e r v i c e s FROBURY FARMHOUSE, KINGSCLERE, HAMPSHIRE Heritage Statement 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Frobury Farmhouse is a former farmhouse located a little over 1km to the west of Kingsclere in north Hampshire (NGR SU 51247, 59394). The farmhouse has recently been sold and the new owners are seeking to make some alterations to the property. Fowler Architecture and Planning are preparing plans for the alterations. 2.2 Forum Heritage Services has been commissioned to make an assessment of the building and to prepare a heritage statement to inform the development of the proposals and accompany the planning and listed building consent applications. Bob Edwards BSc PG Dip IHBC MIfA, Director of Forum Heritage Services, visited the property on 16 July 2014 and directed some limited opening up of the fabric to inform particular elements of the proposals and subsequently prepared this report. 2.3 The assessment of the building identified potentially early fabric within the roof structure. Hampshire timber-framed buildings experts, Edward Roberts and Bill Fergie subsequently visited the building and confirmed the interest of the building. The Hampshire Buildings Survey Group, led by Edward Roberts, agreed to provide funding for a dendro- chronological survey with the owners contributing to the costs. Mr John Walker, a national expert on early aisled halls was also invited to view the property and he contributed significantly to the understanding of the development of the house.
