SUMMARY:Historic Building workshop\, Care and repair of historic masonry structures\, Somerset
DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshops\n\n\nCare and repair of historic masonry structures \n\nDate: 17 March 2017 \nWhen: 1000 – 1630 \nWhere: Dunster Castle \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 stonework\nUnderstanding historic mortars and the use of lime in conservation\nHistoric decorative plasters\n\n[/custom_list] \nThe venue has been carefully chosen as the town and castle represents fine examples of Medieval and later stonework. The buildings of the town are mainly constructed in local stone with slate roofs and some slate hanging on timber frames. The major and very impressive medieval castle dominates the town and display masonry of many periods and centuries of repair including 20th century work. In the 17th century the castle was refurbished to turn it into a more comfortable country house. In 1868 the architect Anthony Salvin was commissioned to “refortify” the building to the Victorian ideal of what a great Medieval castle should be\, but with contemporary home comforts The interior of the castle reflects changing ideas of decoration and comfort with fine examples of decorative plaster ranging through the 17th and 19th centuries.  The day will include formal Power Point presentations and first hand observations of some of the buildings in the town and the castle. \nThe History and Architectural Development of Stone Structures \nStone Buildings are some of our oldest surviving structures in the country and there are many from the medieval and later periods in need of sensitive care and repair. 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. \nCare and Repair of Historic Stonework \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 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. \nHistoric Plasters \nMost historic buildings were finished with plain lime plasters internally.  Much of the wall and ceiling plaster has now been replaced with modern gypsum based materials in ordinary domestic buildings.  Original plasters are becoming a rare survival.  The problems of using modern materials on solid wall structures will be considered particularly in relation to damp and the development and movement of salts.  The historic development of decorative plasters will also be examined briefly and its care and repair discussed.  Dunster Castle has fine surviving examples of decorative plaster work which are worth looking at in detail. Dunster flyer can be downloaded here \n\nDunster flyer\ndunster booking form

SUMMARY:Historic Building workshop\, Care and repair of historic masonry and timber frames\, Lincolnshire
DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshops\n\n\nCare and repair of historic masonry & timber framed structures \n\nDate: 31 March 2017 \nWhen: 1000 – 1630 \nWhere: Gainsborough Old Hall\, Gainsborough \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 brickwork\nUnderstanding historic mortars and the use of lime in conservation\nHistory\, development and repair of timber framed structures\n\n[/custom_list] \nThe venue has been carefully chosen as it represents a fine example of 15th and 16th century brick and timber framed construction. This building is recognised as “one of the country’s best preserved manor houses” Re-building commenced after destruction of an earlier building by fire in 1484. The manor house comprises a great brick tower and kitchen range\, a great hall with solar and a suite of state rooms. It is built to an H plan with the timber framed great hall at its centre. The kitchen range is one of the most complete of its period to survive rivalled only by that at Hampton Court Palace. The building was given to the nation in 1970 and is in the care of English Heritage with the day to day running undertaken by the District Council. The day will include formal Power Point presentations\, material handling sessions and first hand observations of the building and the details of its construction. \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. For eleven years he acted as the Director of a Conservation Centre and now runs his own Historic Building Consultancy and Training Company. \nHe advises on the repair and maintenance of all historic structures and provides training at all levels for the building conservation industry.  This includes the development of historic building technology\, traditional materials and hands-on craft training.  Work for Local Government Authorities includes Conservation Area appraisals\, historic building condition surveys and feasibility studies.  He has provided training exercises with local communities to raise awareness of their village plans and local heritage interpretation documents and he has provided Traditional Skills Awareness Courses for a number of bodies. \nHe undertakes the Historic Analysis of buildings and produces: Statements of Significance; Method Statements; Impact Assessments and Specifications for the repair and conservation of traditional buildings. \nHe lectures for various CPD providers\, Universities and national building conservation organizations including SPAB\, RICS and the Weald and Downland Museum.  Topics include: Bricks and Mortar; Lime\, Plasters and Renders; Cob and Earth\, Timber Frame and Stone Structures and Traditional Roofing. \n\nThe day will include formal Power Point presentations\, material handling sessions and first hand observations of the building.\nMain themes\nThe History of Brickmaking and Building in Brick \nBricks have been a principal building material in many parts of the country since the 16th century.  The history and development of brick buildings and brickmaking will be examined up to the middle of the 20th century when bricks ceased to be a mainly local vernacular material and became a mass produced product by a few large international companies. \nInterpreting Historic Brickwork \nA selection of different types of bricks from different sources and periods will be handled and discussed\, paying particular attention to how they were made and fired and how this affected their durability and character. Looking closely at historic brickwork can give clues as to how the bricks were manufactured and laid and what alterations the building has gone through since its original construction.  This process can be likened to reading a detective story: the clues are there\, they just need interpreting by the observer\, thus enabling a correct and aesthetically pleasing repair/restoration to be achieved. \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 brickwork 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 brickwork a 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 History and Development of Timber framed Structures  \n\n The historic development of timber frames and roof structures\nCauses of decay and failure including mechanical failure\, rot and insect attack.\nApproach to structural repairs\, selection and use of materials and techniques.\n\n\nGborough flyer can be downloaded here\ngainsborough booking form can be downloaded here
