  • Guide to Oakwell Hall
    Guide to Oakwell Hall Please return this guide to the attendant before you leave. Thank you Welcome to Oakwell Hall Oakwell Hall was built in 1583 for John Batt. John Batt was the son of a wealthy cloth merchant and yeoman farmer from Halifax, who bought the estate in the 1560‟s. The hall was owned by the Batts until 1707. During the 18th Century it was owned by Fairfax Fearnley, a rather eccentric lawyer who died in 1791. For the next 150 years the Hall was owned by absentee landlords who leased it to various tenants. It was being used as a boarding school when Charlotte Brontë visited. Absentee owners decided to sell the Hall 1928. There were rumours that the house would be transported stone by stone to be rebuilt in the United States of America so a public appeal was launched to save the Hall. Two wealthy benefactors Sir Henry Norman Rae and John Earl Sharman came forward and bought the Hall for £2500. Oakwell Hall has been a museum since 1929. It is now owned and managed by Kirklees Council and shows what a home of the 1690‟s would have been like. 2 The Great Parlour Painted panels, an ornate ceiling and a great storm. When Charlotte Brontë visited in the 1830‟s the walls in this room were painted ‘a delicate pinky white’. The scumbled panelling was only found during renovation work in the 1980‟s. This room once had an ornate plaster ceiling which was created by plasterer Francis Lee in the 1630s.

  • Heritage for All: Ethnic Mi
    ICME papers 2001 Paper presented at the ICME sessions ICOM TRIENNIAL CONFERENCE, BARCELONA, 2-4 July, 2001 Heritage for All: ethnic minority attitudes to museums and heritage sites Barbara Woroncow, Chief Executive, Yorkshire Museums Council, United Kingdom Introduction For well over a decade, museums in the United Kingdom have been aware that their services need to be made more accessible to the growing number of ethnic minority communities across the country. Many individual museum services, especially those in areas with significant ethnic minority populations, have undertaken much good work in building relationships, developing relevant exhibitions and activities, and initiating collecting policies and recording systems to present and preserve the traditions and experiences of ethnic minority communities. Examples of such good practice can be found, for example, in Bradford, Halifax and Rotherham, all of which are in the Yorkshire region in the north-east of England. However, the majority of work undertaken by such museum services has been project-based, often with special funding, and has concentrated on dealing with the heritage of individual ethnic minority communities. Such initiatives have been valuable in encouraging many first-time attenders for whom museum-going may not have been a traditional family activity. It is obvious for example, that a special exhibition on Sikh culture, developed in partnership with the Sikh community, is likely to attract Sikh families, as well as a range of other visitors. In some larger cities such as Birmingham and Liverpool, ethnic minority communities have also participated in developing permanent galleries on broader subjects such as rites of passage and slavery.

Each September, thousands of sites across the country invite you in to explore local treasures of every age, style and function, and many special events are held. It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and it’s all FREE. In 2020 the festival went ahead but was much restricted by the pandemic. While not quite reaching the heights of 2019, this year will see a fuller Kirklees programme and, alongside old favourites, there are over 20 new entries, many of them celebrating this year’s national theme, Edible England. Some events are also part of the Huddersfield High Street Heritage Action Zone cultural programme centred on St George’s Square. All events are organised independently with support from the Kirklees HOD Committee, which has prepared this brochure. Many events are open access but some have to be booked. Bookable events are identified in the brochure with details of how to book (there is no centralised booking system this year). Please respect this: if you don’t book and there are no spaces on the day, you will be turned away.
