  • 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.

    A SELF-GUIDED WALKING TOUR OF MONTROSE PARK Montrose Park Historic District Association Our mission is to promote, preserve, and beautify the Montrose Park Historic District, maintain its integrity, and enhance the quality of life for all residents. Montrose Park Historic District Association is a non-profit, tax exempt organization under the IRS Code 501(c)(3) MONTROSE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT ASSOCIATION This walking tour celebrates the rich architectural heritage concentrated in South Orange and particularly in the Montrose Park neighborhood, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1997. This tour doesn’t cover every house but highlights some of the more interesting homes in a structured leisurely walk that you can complete in about an hour. MPHDA thanks Janet Foster, a historic preservation consultant, for her assistance in curating the stops on this walk and for the written commentary, both about the houses featured and the development of the area we call Montrose Park. Walking instructions are in RED; Individual house addresses are in bold. BEGIN THE TOUR IN GROVE PARK, NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF GROVE ROAD AND RALSTON AVENUE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE ORIGINS OF MONTROSE PARK In the mid-19th century, the Oranges were both traditional farming communities and emerging “resort” areas. “Mountain Station” was established by the 1840s along the Morris & Essex Railroad to serve the Mountain House, a fashionable hotel and spa located on the hill behind the Mountain Station. It advertised that South Orange and the hill to its west made it the “Switzerland of America”. Clearly, most people visiting had not been to Switzerland, or had even seen the Rockies.

  • The Hundred Parishes LITTLE CHESTERFORD
    The Hundred Parishes An introduction to LITTLE CHESTERFORD Location: 3 miles northwest of Saffron Walden. Ordnance Survey grid square: TL5141. Postcode: CB10 1TS. Access: 1 mile from Great Chesterford station on London Liverpool Street to Cambridge line. B1383, B184. Bus: Citi 7 (Mon – Sat) between Cambridge and Saffron Walden. County: Essex. District: Uttlesford. Population: 215 in 2011. The Domesday Book of 1086 identifies Little Chesterford quite separately from its larger neighbour, Great Chesterford, and the two parishes have remained independent. Little Chesterford has an active parish church and a village hall which served as the village school from 1862 until the beginning of the 20th century. Little Chesterford village sits beside the River Cam (also known as the River Granta) between two roads that run South-North, the B1383 and B184. The parish also includes a small hamlet at Springwell, a little further south, and on the high ground a mile west of the village a substantial research park has been developed around a 19th-century mansion within Chesterford Park. The parish church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, dates from the 13th century. It is unusual in having the nave and chancel under a single roof without a division. Beside the church stands The Manor which also dates from the 13th century and may pre-date the church. It is a private house, listed as Grade I, and is one of the oldest surviving domestic buildings in Essex. Alterations were made in the 14th and 16th centuries, but much of the original roof structure remains, as do elements of 13th- century windows.
