  • Post-Medieval and Modern Resource Assessment
    THE SOLENT THAMES RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT POST-MEDIEVAL AND MODERN PERIOD (AD 1540 - ) Jill Hind April 2010 (County contributions by Vicky Basford, Owen Cambridge, Brian Giggins, David Green, David Hopkins, John Rhodes, and Chris Welch; palaeoenvironmental contribution by Mike Allen) Introduction The period from 1540 to the present encompasses a vast amount of change to society, stretching as it does from the end of the feudal medieval system to a multi-cultural, globally oriented state, which increasingly depends on the use of Information Technology. This transition has been punctuated by the protestant reformation of the 16th century, conflicts over religion and power structure, including regicide in the 17th century, the Industrial and Agricultural revolutions of the 18th and early 19th century and a series of major wars. Although land battles have not taken place on British soil since the 18th century, setting aside terrorism, civilians have become increasingly involved in these wars. The period has also seen the development of capitalism, with Britain leading the Industrial Revolution and becoming a major trading nation. Trade was followed by colonisation and by the second half of the 19th century the British Empire included vast areas across the world, despite the independence of the United States in 1783. The second half of the 20th century saw the end of imperialism. London became a centre of global importance as a result of trade and empire, but has maintained its status as a financial centre. The Solent Thames region generally is prosperous, benefiting from relative proximity to London and good communications routes. The Isle of Wight has its own particular issues, but has never been completely isolated from major events.

  • Tower of London World Heritage Site Management Plan
    Tower of London World Heritage Site Management Plan Published by Historic Royal Palaces © Historic Royal Palaces 2007 Historic Royal Palaces Hampton Court Palace Surrey KT8 9AU June 2007 Foreword By David Lammy MP Minister for Culture I am delighted to support this Management Plan for the Tower of London World Heritage Site. The Tower of London, founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7, is one of the world’s most famous fortresses, and Britain’s most visited heritage site. It was built to protect and control the city and the White Tower survives largely intact from the Norman period. Architecture of almost all styles that have since flourished in England may be found within the walls. The Tower has been a fortress, a palace and a prison, and has housed the Royal Mint, the Public Records and the Royal Observatory. It was for centuries the arsenal for small arms, the predecessor of the present Royal Armouries, and has from early times guarded the Crown Jewels. Today the Tower is the key to British history for visitors who come every year from all over the world to relive the past and to enjoy the pageantry of the present. It is deservedly a World Heritage Site. The Government is accountable to UNESCO and the wider international community for the future conservation and presentation of the Tower. It is a responsibility we take seriously. The purpose of the Plan is to provide an agreed framework for long-term decision-making on the conservation and improvement of the Tower and sustaining its outstanding universal value.

  • English Coast Defences
    ENGLISH COAST DEFENCES GEORGE CLINCH PART I ENGLISH COAST DEFENCES PREHISTORIC CAMPS Round the coast of England there are many prehistoric earthworks of great extent and strength. These fall generally under the heads of hill-top fortresses and promontory camps. The works comprised under the former head are so arranged as to take the greatest possible advantage of natural hill-tops, often of large size. On the line where the comparatively level top developed into a more or less precipitous slope a deep ditch was dug, and the earth so removed was in most cases thrown outwards so as to form a rampart which increased the original difficulties of the sloping hill-side. The latter type of earthwork, called promontory camps from their natural conformation, were strengthened by the digging of a deep ditch, so as to cut off the promontory from the main table-land from which it projected, and in some cases the sides of the camp were made more precipitous by artificial scarping. An examination of these types of earthworks leads to the conclusion that they were probably tribal enclosures for the safe-guarding of cattle, etc.; that, strictly speaking, they were not military works at all, and, in any case, had no relation to national defence against enemies coming over-sea. One finds in different parts of the country a prevalent tradition that the Romans occupied the more ancient British hill-top strongholds, and the name “Caesar‟s Camp” is popularly applied to many of them. If such an occupation really took place it was, in all probability, only of a temporary character.

  • Heritage Premises: Fire Safety Guidance Background
    Heritage Premises: Fire Safety Guidance Background: Important heritage buildings are listed by Historic England. Listing, scheduling, registering and protecting are all forms of Designation, for protecting buildings, monuments, parks and gardens, battlefields and wreck sites respectively. Designation is the act of identifying the most important parts of our heritage so they can receive special protection and make sure that our history can be enjoyed by present and future generations. All of these sites are brought together in the National Heritage List for England (NHLE) Buildings and structures which meet the criteria for national protection are listed. This protection system has been in place since 1947 and operates under; The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Guidance to selection criteria is available on Historic England`s web site: http://historicengland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ Listed Buildings: Listing helps us acknowledge and understand our shared history. It marks and celebrates a building's special architectural and historic interest, and also brings it under the consideration of the planning system so that some thought will be taken about its future. The older a building is, the more likely it is to be listed. All buildings built before 1700 which survive in anything like their original condition are listed, as are most of those built between 1700 and 1840. Particularly careful selection is required for buildings from the period after 1945. A building has normally to be over 30 years old to be eligible for listing. Categories of listed buildings: Grade I buildings are of exceptional interest, only 2.5% of listed buildings are Grade I.

  • Historic England Advisory Note on the Reconstruction of Heritage Assets
    Historic England Advisory Note on the Reconstruction of Heritage Assets HO-J Draft 01042016 1. Introduction 1.1 In certain circumstances there may be a need or desire to reconstruct heritage assets. If this work is to deliver the maximum public benefit it is important to all interested parties, particularly local communities, that such work is very carefully considered, planned and delivered. If this is not done there is risk that the assets will be recreated in a form in which they never existed and which undermines our ability to understand and appreciate our past. 1.2 It is many years since English Heritage, Historic England’s predecessor, provided guidance on the reconstruction of heritage assets. English Heritage’s Policy Statement on Restoration, Reconstruction, and Speculative Recreation of Archaeological Sites including Ruins was published in 2001. Parts of the statement have been incorporated in more summary form in this advisory note. Conservation Principles, Policies and Guidance for the Sustainable Management of the Historic Environment dates from 2008 and it is anticipated that the review of the sections of this document on the related topics of restoration, new work and alteration will be informed by this advisory note on reconstruction. Historic England Advice Note 2 Making Changes to Heritage Assets was published in February 2016. The note contains sections on restoration, additions and alterations, relevant elements of which have been included here, sometimes in slightly modified form to reflect the differences between restoration and reconstruction as defined in section 2 below. 1.3 Historic England is the government’s advisor on the historic environment of England.
