  • The History of St Andrew's Hall

    The History of St Andrew's Hall

    The History of St. Andrew's Hall a scrapbook Produced by The Museum of English Rural Life based on research by N. Rosalinde Downing, BA, MA At the heart of the new Museum of English Rural Life is a building of considerable historic interest – St Andrew’s Hall. St Andrew’s Hall was originally designed by the Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse as a private home for local man Alfred Palmer in 1880. The house was then known as East Thorpe. Alfred Palmer gave the house to the University to become the first women-only hall of residence in Reading. This scrapbook outlines the history of the building that is now proudly reincarnated as the Museum of English Rural Life. Photographs of St. Andrew's Hall shortly after it closed to students in 2001. Who was Alfred Palmer? Alfred Palmer was a member of Reading’s famous Palmer family, held the position of High Sheriff of Berkshire and was deeply involved in the University. Born in 1852 and educated in Tottenham, Alfred spent over fifty years working for the Huntley & Palmers biscuit company, chiefly as the head of the engineering department where he was responsible for the building and maintenance of the biscuit machinery. It is believed that Alfred Palmer was responsible for the variety of biscuits the Alfred Palmer company produced. “Had it not been for Alfred Palmer’s mechanical inventiveness, the firm would have been quite unable to turn out so many different kinds of biscuits of such varying shapes and textures.” T. Corley. Quaker enterprise in biscuits : Huntley and Palmers of Reading, 1822-1972.

    The Theme of This Talk, and This Conference, Is the Renewal of University Museums

    Museums for the Future: Recognising new relevance for University Museums Kate Arnold-Forster University of Reading The theme of this talk, and this conference, is the renewal of university museums. Its aim is to ask how as curators and managers to secure not only the survival of the collections we care for, but also how to ensure they contribute in relevant ways to the institutions to which they belong. All of us, who work with university museums probably agree that the answer, in theory, is short and simple – we need to find ways of making our University’s take notice, appreciate what these museums and collections do and support them accordingly. But how to do this is not always that obvious. So my talk is an account of the approach we took at the University of Reading. This case study looks back over a process (and the lessons learnt) whereby the University took steps to establish a co-ordinated and strategic approach to the management of its university museums, alongside a period of major regeneration that has seen capital improvements of more than £12million and the reinvigoration of its collections. To put Reading’s story in context, I want to start by saying something about the position of UK university museums today and how this has developed in recent years. Many working in the University museums sector will agree that we can look back over a period, in the past decade, of immense change for University Museums, one in which their profile has been transformed, partly by the concentration of major redevelopment in the sector, but also by renewed recognition of their value and importance.
