Bookmark not defined. Introduction 5 Treasure cases 2016 7 Table of Treasure cases 2016 18 Update on 2015 Treasure cases 63 3 4 Minister’s foreword I am pleased to introduce the Treasure Act Annual Report 2016, which provides a report on the operation of the Treasure Act 1996 for that year. The Treasure Act is an enduring success, ensuring that museums are able to acquire the most important archaeological discoveries for the benefit of all. The year 2016 saw 1,116 potential Treasure finds reported in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Of these discoveries, 363 have been (or are to be) acquired by public collections. 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 Art Council England/V&A Purchase Grant Fund. I am grateful to these organisations for their recognition of the importance of archaeological finds and their support of museums’ efforts to acquire them. I also applaud the large number of interested parties waiving their right to a reward for Treasure cases, with individuals foregoing their share in 86 cases this year. These donations have allowed museums to acquire finds that they may not have otherwise been able to, thereby allowing the public to enjoy and experts to study them. There are many bodies and people who deserve praise for the ongoing success of the Treasure Act, in particular the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) and its local network of 40 Finds Liaison Officers (FLOs) across England and Wales, to whom almost all finds of Treasure are reported. The Scheme is fundamental to the operation of the Act, and on behalf of the Government I would like to thank the British Museum, its local partners, and Amgueddfa Cymru/National Museum Wales for their commitment to the success of the PAS. The role of the FLOs is vital in disseminating information about the Act and archaeological best practice to finders of Treasure and landowners. They are indispensable in facilitating the administration of Treasure cases and providing the logistical means for the Act to function. Together with curators, scientists and conservators at the national museums of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, they also provide expert reports on Treasure finds for coroners, who, along with their staff, are owed thanks for their diligence in holding Treasure inquests. The British Museum, which manages the PAS in England, also supports coroners and serves as the secretariat for the Treasure Valuation Committee and I am grateful for their continued hard work. In order to ensure the long-term success of the Act, and that it reflects current practice and works as efficiently as possible, the Government remains committed to conducting a review of the Treasure Act Code of Practice. This will also consider the definition of Treasure, and whether that should be amended. Finally I would like to acknowledge the ongoing contribution of the Treasure Valuation Committee, chaired by Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn. I am grateful for the services of all of the Committee members, who voluntarily provide their time and expertise. Michael Ellis Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Arts, Heritage, and Tourism December 2018 5 Introduction Under the Treasure Act 1996, finders have a legal obligation to report all finds of potential Treasure. For a summary see https://finds.org.uk/treasure or the leaflet Advice for Finders of Archaeological Objects, Including Treasure. The Act allows a museum to acquire Treasure finds for public benefit. If this happens, a reward is paid, which is (normally) shared equally between the finder and landowner, though the interested parties may wish to waive their rewards, enabling museums to acquire such finds at no or reduced cost. Rewards are fixed at the market value of the find, determined by the Secretary of State on the advice of an independent panel of experts known as the Treasure Valuation Committee. Treasure finds account for a relatively small proportion of archaeological items found in England and Wales by the public, and finders are encouraged to record all archaeological items with the Portable Antiquities Scheme: this data is published on its online database at finds.org.uk. The Scheme and its network of local archaeologists – experts in recording small finds, known as Finds Liaison Officers – play an important role in the operation of the Treasure Act, advising finders of their legal obligations, providing advice on the process and writing reports on potential Treasure finds for local coroners. Organisation The administration of the Treasure Act is undertaken by the British Museum, which employs a Treasure Registrar and four Assistant Treasure Registrars, one of whom is part-time. This work involves the preparation of Treasure cases for inquest (at a Coroner’s Court), the handling of disclaimed cases, acting as the secretariat of the Treasure Valuation Committee, and the payment of rewards to finders/landowners. In Wales, Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales carries out the liaison with finders and coroners and in Northern Ireland this is done by the National Museum of Northern Ireland. Treasure Valuation Committee The Committee’s terms of reference are detailed in the Treasure Act 1996 Code of Practice. In short, it is tasked to recommend to the Secretary of State the value of Treasure finds, to recommend abatements of rewards in the case of misbehaviour on the part of the interested parties, and to recommend an apportionment of the reward when there is a disagreement among the parties. The Committee is made up of independent experts appointed for their knowledge of the antiquities trade; its membership also includes someone to represent the interests of finders, a museums’ representative, and an expert in cultural property law. Membership of the Committee consists of Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn (Chair), Professor Roger Bland, Ms Gail Boyle, Ms Marian Campbell, Ms Harry Bain, Ms Hetty Gleave, Mr Christopher Martin and Mr Jim Brown. More information on the Treasure Valuation Committee, as well as electronic versions of the minutes of the meetings of the Committee, can be found online at finds.org.uk/treasure Publication This report, and copies of previous reports, is published online at: https://finds.org.uk/publications 6 Treasure cases 2016 Number of Treasure cases and geographic distribution The number of Treasure cases reported in 2016 was 1,116 (Table A). This is more than five times the number of cases reported in 1998, the first full year of the Act. Table A: Number of Treasure cases reported 1988–2016 (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).

  • Classical Nakedness in British Sculpture and Historical Painting 1798-1840 Cora Hatshepsut Gilroy-Ware Ph.D Univ
    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

Milton Keynes Council established in its Core Strategy a target of delivering 28,000 homes in the period from 2010 to 2026; an average of 1,750 homes per year. This target is split 26,240 in the urban area and 1,760 across the rural rest of the Borough. 1.2 There is a need to ensure that there is choice and flexibility in land supply across the Borough. This will help maintain completion rates and enable the Council to demonstrate it has a five year supply of land, which is a strict government requirement. Problems with this can arise because, despite there being enough land available, it is not being built out quickly enough to meet the Core Strategy’s annual housing targets.

  • Newsletter No. 74 Autumn 2008 Editorial
    NEWSLETTER NO. 74 AUTUMN 2008 EDITORIAL Welcome to the latest Newsletter; I hope you have had an enjoyable summer in spite of the dreadful weather, Due to a clash of dates I was unable to attend this year’s AIA Conference which was held in Wiltshire and I look forward to reading the report which will appear in Industrial Archaeology News. I am also looking forward to the forthcoming 2008-2009 Lecture Programme; full details are given on the separate sheet, meeting as usual on Saturday mornings at Claremont. In the past the Section has considered whether midweek evening meetings or Saturday afternoons would attract more members to join and attend but the general view from those who have expressed it, is that Saturday mornings are preferred. However please note that the 2009 AGM will be starting earlier at 10.30am. This is because we will have another local walk in the afternoon starting at 2pm and starting the AGM half an hour earlier gives a little more time for members’ contributions and lunch. I am sure that you will agree with me that our Lecture Secretary, Jane Ellis, has yet again organised an interesting and varied programme and I hope many of you will be able to attend at least a few lectures during the season. Robert Vickers will also lead a walk around Huddersfield on Sunday 10 May 2009, meeting at the Railway Station at 11am with a pub lunch. Let’s hope there is better weather for this than his walk around Bradford, which is reported on later in the Newsletter.

The awards celebrated the most innovative and ground-breaking initiatives of last year from museums, galleries and heritage visitor attractions across the UK and overseas. Talking about English Heritage’s Tintagel Castle Bridge, recipient of the award for Permanent Exhibitioin of the Year, chair of the awards judging panel Dr Matthew Tanner MBE, chief executive of SS Great Britain, noted: “it is not only brave, it is extraordinary, bewitching and beautiful and has enabled the genuine story of place to be told in an astonishingly original way.” The event’s online format is not the only first for 2020, with this year’s categories having been bolstered by the addition of the new Sustainable Project of the Year award, which was sponsored by National Lottery Heritage Fund. The Museum of Oxford scooped this inaugural prize, for its temporary exhibition Queering Spires: a history of LGBTIQA+ spaces in Oxford. The temporary exhibition opened in September 2019 and was created with an ‘environmentally and socially responsible ethos’. One of its main aims was to reduce the amount of waste a temporary exhibition often creates and the judges were impressed by the Museum of Oxford’s commitment and authenticity in putting sustainability at the very heart of the project, recommending it as a model that could be replicated across the sector.

  • Detailed Assessment of NO2 at South Killingholme
    Local Authority Dr Matthew Barnes Officer Department Environmental Health (Commercial) Church Square House Scunthorpe Address North Lincolnshire DN15 6XQ Telephone 01724 297336 e-mail [email protected] Date January 2016 Report Status Final Report 1 Executive summary North Lincolnshire Council’s Air Quality Progress Report 2011 identified a possible exceedance of nitrogen dioxide alongside the A160 in South Killingholme. For this reason, in October 2013 North Lincolnshire Council installed an air quality monitoring site to more accurately measure nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide and nitrogen oxides at this location. Nitric oxide (NO) is mainly derived from road transport emissions and other combustion processes. Nitric oxide is not considered to be harmful to health, however, once emitted to the atmosphere it is rapidly oxidised to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which can be harmful to health. NO2 can irritate the lungs and lower resistance to respiratory infections. Continued exposure to concentrations above the recommended air quality objectives may cause increased incidence of acute respiratory illness in children. The main source of NO2 is from road traffic emissions. At South Killinghome the principle source is from vehicles using the A160 dual-carriage way, which provides access to the Port of Immingham, local refineries and power stations. It is also the main route to the proposed Able Marine Energy Park, a deep water quay and manufacturing facility for the offshore wind energy industry. To provide better access to the Port of Immingham and surrounding area, the Highways Agency are upgrading both the A160 and A180. It is anticipated that 1 construction will take approximately 16 months and should be completed by Autumn 2016.

Haversham-cum-Little Linford Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group The Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group and Haversham-cum-Little-Linford Parish Council have been working for a considerable time to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish. We have been assisted in this by Oneill Homer, a leading consultancy who have assisted Parish and Town Councils around the country to produce well over 100 Neighbourhood Plans, including several in Milton Keynes. The cost of this consultancy work has been paid for by a government grant. What is a Neighbourhood Plan? A document that sets out planning policies for the neighbourhood area – planning policies are used to decide whether to approve planning applications. Written by the local community, the people who know and love the area, rather than the Local Planning Authority. A powerful tool to ensure the community gets the right types of development, in the right place. What is this document for? We had hoped to hold a public meeting / exhibition to discuss the significant work undertaken so far and find out YOUR views of our policy intents and the potential development sites offered by landowners.
