  • Treasure Houses of Southern England
    TREASURE HOUSES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE STATELY HOMES OF ENGLAND MAY 6TH - 15TH 2018 We are pleased to present the fi rst in a two-part series that delves into the tales and traditions of the English aristocracy in the 20th century. The English class system really exists nowhere else in the world, mainly because England has never had the kind of violent social revolution that has taken away the ownership of the land from the families that have ruled it since medieval times. Vast areas of the country are still owned by families that can trace their heritage back to the Norman knights who accompanied William the Conqueror. Here is our invitation to discover how this system has come about and to experience the fabulous legacy that it has BLENHEIM PALACE bequeathed to the nation. We have included a fascinating array of visits, to houses both great and small, private and public, spanning the centuries from the Norman invasion to the Victorian era. This spring, join Discover Europe, and like-minded friends, for a look behind the scenes of TREASURE HOUSES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND. (Note: Part II, The Treasure Houses of Northern England is scheduled to run in September.)

    FOR REFERENCE ONLY FRANCIS CLOSE HALL LEARNING CENTRE UNIVERSITY OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE Swindon Road, Cheltenham GLSO 4AZ Tel: 01242 714600 VOLUNTEER - RUN MUSEUMS IN ENGLISH MARKET TOWNS AND VILLAGES BRIDGET ELIZABETH YATES A Thesis submitted to The University of Gloucestershire In accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Faculty of Education, Humanities and Sciences December 2010 ABSTRACT VOLUNTEER-RUN MUSEUMS IN ENGLISH MARKET TOWNS AND VILLAGES Volunteer-run museums in English market towns and villages have been largely over-looked by scholars examining the history and development of museums in England, and work on contemporary museum volunteering or the relations of museums to their communities have not distinguished between volunteer-run and volunteer-involving museums. This thesis attempts to redress the balance by examining a number of volunteer-run museums in Dorset and the characteristics and motivations of the volunteers involved in their development. This element of the project included a survey of museum volunteers in the county and studies of a selected group of museums through interviews and through archival research in museum records. The thesis also presents a historical analysis, through a number of case histories, of the development of volunteer-run museums in English market towns and villages from 1884, demonstrating clearly how the development of these small museums reflects larger changes in the rural community from the paternalism of the late nineteenth century, through growing independence and democracy after 1918, to the counter­ urbanisation of the second half of the twentieth century. 1 Changing perceptions of rural identity are also apparent in the history of these museums.
