SUMMARY:Historic Building workshop\, Care and repair of historic timber and stone structures\, Kent - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshops EVENT NOW SOLD OUT\n\n\nCare & repair of historic timber framed and stone structures\n \n\nDate: Thursday 2 November 2017 \nWhen: 1000 – 1630 \nWhere: Knole House\, Sevenoaks \nCost:  £120.00 plus VAT (£144.00) to include seminar proceedings\, all refreshments\, lunch and comprehensive delegate pack \nThe day’s course will consider in depth three aspects of building conservation. \n[custom_list style=”list-1″] \n\nThe care and repair of historic Timber Framed structures\nThe care and repair of historic stonework\nUnderstanding historic mortars and the use of lime in conservation\n[/custom_list]\n\nThe venue has been carefully chosen as it represents a fine example of 15th century and later stonework & timber roof structures. This major and very large country house developed from a palace built by Archbishop Bourchier from 1456\, and later extended by various archbishops of Canterbury. In 1538 Archbishop Cranmer was forced to give the property to Henry VIII and it remained in royal ownership though leased to a number of favourites until it was acquired by the Sackville family in 1605. The house remained in the ownership of the family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust though the family still live in part of it. The buildings display timber work and stonework of many periods as it was modified and the interiors revamped in the 17th and 18th centuries. There has also been many phases of repair including major restoration of the Kentish Ragstone walls in the 20th century and now a large scale conservation project including not only the building but also its contents. The day will include formal Power Point presentations\, material handling sessions and first hand observations of some of the buildings. \nSpeaker \n\n\nKevin Stubbs BA(Hons)  DipBldgCons(AA)  IHBC   CertEd\nKevin Stubbs is a Historic Buildings Consultant and comes with a background of education\, archaeology and building conservation. He was Director of Archaeology for the Test Valley in Hampshire and later moved to Hampshire County Council to join the Historic Buildings Bureau\, where he became the Principal Buildings Conservation Officer for the County.

The use of stone was not just confined to the grand buildings and churches but was also used for a variety of ordinary domestic and vernacular buildings. The methods of quarrying\, selection and use of stone in the past contributes much to the character and grain of our historic Cities\, Towns and Villages. \nA basic understanding of historic stone structures will be developed. The identification of causes of failure and the selection of appropriate repair and conservation systems including the selection of replacement stone and methods of fixing will be considered. \nCare And Repair of Historic Masonry structures and Selection of Mortars \nThe first important stage of this process is to identify the sources which have caused the problems of decay to occur; these must be resolved before the stonework can be repaired.  It is also important to understand the nature and function of historic mortars and the dangers of the use of modern cementitious products.  The use of inappropriate mortars can result in the rapid deterioration of historic masonry and long term structural problems. The problems of water movement\, salts\, frost and the cleaning of masonry will be examined.  The methods of re-pointing will also be considered\, not only for aesthetic reasons\, but to ensure the correct performance and durability of the new joint. \nDownload the knole flyer 2017 \nDownload the knole booking form \nOr book online below
