The Treasure Act 1996 is a continuing success, ensuring that museums are able to acquire the most significant archaeological discoveries for the benefit of all. 2012 saw a modest increase in the number of potential Treasure finds reported in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (990); 21 more than the number reported in the previous year. Of these items, 367 have been (or are to be) acquired by museums. Many museum acquisitions have been made possible only through the kind assistance of funding bodies, particularly the Art Fund, Headley Trust, Heritage Lottery Fund, National Heritage Memorial Fund and the V&A Purchase Grant Fund. We are thankful to these organisations for their recognition of the importance of archaeological finds and their support of museums’ efforts to acquire them. This year also saw the launch of a new funding stream from the Art Fund called ‘Treasure Plus’ which enabled museums that had already acquired Treasure to increase the public’s engagement with it by facilitating new displays, exhibitions and learning activities. -

Holy Trinity Annual Report
HOLY TRINITY Potten End The Church at the Heart of the Village ANNUAL REPORT Year ending 31st December 2019 UPDATE FROM THE VICAR Dear members of Holy Trinity, This annual report and upcoming APCM is a strange one. Due to legal requirements, our annual report must sit alongside our financial statement (which can be viewed on our website) which cover the year of 2019. This invariably means that the report is usually at least a couple of months ‘out of date’ when the Annual Parochial Church Meeting traditionally comes round in the spring. However, in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the closure of churches then gradual re-opening, this meant that APCMs haven’t been able to happen until now. It is our legal duty to have this meeting but it is going to feel strange that we will be closer to 2021 and to next years APCM, than we are to 2019! And yet we are where we are, so therefore here in this document is the agenda, past minutes, reports and financial review in readiness for our APCM on Sunday 18th October at 11.45am in church and via Zoom. We hope that you are able to attend the meeting either in person or online (Zoom details below) but if not please send us your apologies (email [email protected]) or any questions/comments that you would like to raise. With regard to the conduct of the meeting, in order to make it go as smooth as possible (especially as we’re trying something new with also having it ‘virtual’) we will be taking the report as read and inviting any comments or questions that you may have. -
Servants' Passage
SERVANTS’ PASSAGE: Cultural identity in the architecture of service in British and American country houses 1740-1890 2 Volumes Volume 1 of 2 Aimée L Keithan PhD University of York Archaeology March 2020 Abstract Country house domestic service is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and America. Whilst shared architectural and social traditions between the two countries are widely accepted, distinctive cultural identity in servant architecture remains unexplored. This thesis proposes that previously unacknowledged cultural differences between British and American domestic service can be used to rewrite narratives and re-evaluate the significance of servant spaces. It uses the service architecture itself as primary source material, relying on buildings archaeology methodologies to read the physical structures in order to determine phasing. Archival sources are mined for evidence of individuals and household structure, which is then mapped onto the architecture, putting people into their spaces over time. Spatial analysis techniques are employed to reveal a more complex service story, in both British and American houses and within Anglo-American relations. Diverse spatial relationships, building types and circulation channels highlight formerly unrecognised service system variances stemming from unique cultural experiences in areas like race, gender and class. Acknowledging the more nuanced relationship between British and American domestic service restores the cultural identity of country house servants whose lives were not only shaped by, but who themselves helped shape the architecture they inhabited. Additionally, challenging accepted narratives by re-evaluating domestic service stories provides a solid foundation for a more inclusive country house heritage in both nations. This provides new factors on which to value modern use of servant spaces in historic house museums, expanding understanding of their relevance to modern society. -

BARRIE AND THE BOYS 8. CHARLES FROHMAN 9. SCENES FROM LIFE 10. THE REST OF THE STORY Barrie and the Llewelyn-Davies boys visited Scourie Lodge, Sutherland—in northwestern Scotland—during August of 1911. In this group image we see Barrie with four of the boys together with their hostess. In the back row: George Llewelyn Davies (age 18), the Duchess of Sutherland and Peter Llewelyn Davies (age 14). In the front row: Nico Llewelyn Davies (age 7), J. M. Barrie (age 51) and Michael Llewelyn Davies (age 11). Online via Andrew Birkin and his J.M. Barrie website. After their mother's death, the five Llewelyn-Davies boys were alone. Who would take them in? Be a parent to them? Provide for their financial needs? Neither side of the family was really able to help. In 1976, Nico recalled the relief with which his uncles and aunts greeted Barrie's offer of assistance: ...none of them [the children's uncles and aunts] could really do anything approaching the amount that this little Scots wizard could do round the corner. He'd got more money than any of us and he's an awfully nice little man. He's a kind man. They all liked him a good deal. And he quite clearly had adored both my father and mother and was very fond of us boys. -
