This is the third year we are publishing our records and actions on the sustainability topic. However there are still limitations with the availability at a granular level and the accuracy of HRP’s sustainability data. We continue to work with all stakeholders to improve data gathering process and quality of information. Energy consumption figures are based on billed amounts and are therefore subject to adjustments in subsequent periods. 1. Our approach to sustainability Historic Royal Palaces is committed to the values of sustainability in the work it undertakes to help everyone explore the palaces and estates it looks after and in the management of its operations. Conservation is at the heart of HRP’s mission, so managing the palaces and the estate with as little environmental impact as possible is important to us. Through our conservation work, we give our buildings, interiors, collections, designed historic landscapes and natural landscapes, species and habitats a future as long and valuable as their past, for the benefit of future generations. We strive to embed sustainability in HRP’s work culture by launching initiatives that encourage good sustainability behaviours with staff (i.e. switching off electronic equipment, setting computers & printers settings to minimise paper waste, improving recycling facilities) and by ensuring that sustainability thinking forms part of project planning mandates and is delivered at a local level through the budgeting process (i.e.

His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

  • Religion and the Investiture of the Monarch: the European Context

    Religion and the Investiture of the Monarch: the European Context

    Religion and the investiture of the Monarch: The European context NSS researcher Barry Thorpe has found no other investiture of a European monarch with such overt religious, far less sectarian, associations as in the UK. Denmark Last coronation: 1849 In 1660 the coronation ritual was replaced with a ceremony of anointing, where the new king would arrive at the coronation site already wearing the crown, where he was then anointed. This rite was in turn abolished with the introduction of the Danish Constitution in 1849. Today the crown of Denmark is only displayed at the monarch's funeral, when it sits atop their coffin. The present Queen, Margrethe II, did not have any formal enthronement service; a public announcement of her accession was made from the balcony of Christiansborg Palace, with the new sovereign being acclaimed by her Prime Minister at the time (1972), Jens Otto Krag, then cheered with a ninefold "hurrah" by the crowds below. Liechtenstein No coronation Liechtenstein does not use a coronation or enthronement ceremony, although Prince Hans Adam II did attend a mass by the Archbishop of Vaduz, followed by a choral event. Luxembourg No coronation The Grand Duke of Luxembourg is enthroned at a ceremony held in the nation's parliament at the beginning of his or her reign. The monarch takes an oath of loyalty to the state constitution, then attends a solemn mass at the Notre-Dame Cathedral. Netherlands No coronation. Inauguration With the absence of any religious hierarchy within the Dutch Reformed Church, there is no senior religious prelate to crown the new monarch, unlike in Great Britain under the Archbishop of Canterbury.
  • Tower of London World Heritage Site Management Plan

    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.
