The interior of the house reflects changing ideas of decoration and comfort with one of the finest examples of decorative plasterwork by Robert Adam to be found in the south of England. The Great Conservatory designed by Charles Fowler was completed in 1827 and was the first to be built of metal and glass on a large scale. \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.

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 The venue has been carefully chosen as the house represents fine examples of a country house with a long history of adaptation and change from a medieval monastic establishment to a grand 18th century estate.   The building was mainly constructed in stone and was refaced in Bath Stone in the 1820s.  The interior of the house reflects changing ideas of decoration and comfort with one of the finest examples of decorative plasterwork by Robert Adam to be found in the south of England. The Great Conservatory designed by Charles Fowler was completed in 1827 and was the first to be built of metal and glass on a large scale. \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 stone 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. \nThe Historic Fabric of Syon Park\nThe core of the building is the remains of the Bridgettine abbey constructed in 1431. The nunnery was one of the wealthiest in England at its dissolution in 1539. The site was acquired by the 1st Duke of Somerset and remodelled as a Tudor country house in the Italian Renaissance style. In 1594 the property was acquired by Henry Percy\, 9th Earl of Northumberland and has remained in that families ownership ever since. \nIn 1762 Capability Brown was commissioned to redesign the landscape of the parkland and Robert Adam the interior of the house. This was one of the first large scale commissions undertaken by Adam in the Neo-classical style and also reflected his interest in Roman antiquities. The exterior of the house retained its original architectural form and a number of rooms had to wait to be upgraded until the following century as works ceased in 1769 due to the high costs of Adams lavish schemes. \nIn the 1820s and 1860s the house underwent further refurbishment but the Adam interiors survived unaltered. \nIn 1951 the house was first opened to the public and over the last 10 years there have been a number of conservation projects including major works to the roof. \n\n  \nDownload the Flyer for Syon House \nDownload the syon booking form \nOr book online below
