SUMMARY:Historic Building workshop\, Care and repair of historic brickwork\, Wimpole Hall\, Royston
DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshops\n\n\nCare & repair of historic brickwork\n  \n \n\nDate: Friday 11 May 2018\nWhen: 0930 – 1700\nWhere: Hardwicke Arms and Wimpole Hall\nCost:  £125.00 plus VAT (£150.00) to include seminar proceedings\, all refreshments\, lunch\, entry to Wimpole Estate 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\nThe historic fabric of Wimpole Hall\n\n[/custom_list] \nThe morning session will take place at  Hardwick Arms which is a 10  walk from from Wimple Hall across the Estate. Free parking is available \nThe venue has been carefully chosen as it represents a fine example of a country house and associated buildings constructed in brick. The core dates to 1650 but the main façade and much of the interior was remodelled in the 18th century. A number of famous architects worked on the property during that century including James Gibbs\, Sir James Thornhill and Henry Flitcroft. The garden and parkland also had the attention of such big name designers as Charles Bridgeman\, Capability Brown and Humphry Repton.  A small amount of remodelling was undertaken in the 19th century but bankruptcy and sales of contents left the house in a poor state for the 20th century. The house had some restoration work done by the last owner who died in 1976 leaving the whole estate to the National Trust. \nThe day will include formal Power Point presentations and material handling sessions in the morning at the nearby Hardwicke Arms\, and then in the afternoon a visit to the hall for 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. He 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. \nMain themes \n\n\nCare and repair of historic brickwork\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. \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. \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. \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.

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 Historic Fabric of Wimpole Hall\nThe hall and its associated buildings display a wide range of traditional building materials and methods of construction. There are a variety of brick bonds and joint finishes and examples of decay and repair. \nAlso stone was widely used for decorative purposes externally and the patterns of decay and methods of repair observable. \nThe interior shows the changing fashions of decoration and design during the 18th century with fine detailing of plasterwork\, joinery and metalwork. The “below stairs” areas are an interesting contrast and in some places the problems of damp and decay are clearly evident. \n\nDownload the wimpole flyer \nDownload the wimpole booking form \nOr book online below (if you do not have a paypal account please click on proceed to paypal and check out as a guest with a credit/debit card)

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

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.

SUMMARY:Historic Building workshop\, Bricks and mortars\, Hardwick Hall\, Derbyshire
DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshops\n \n\n\nCare and Repair of Historic Stone Structures and Plasterwork\n\nDate: Friday 6 October 2017 \nWhen: 1000 – 1630 \nWhere: Hardwick Hall Estate\, Chesterfield\, Derbyshire \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 plasterwork\, its care and conservation.\n[/custom_list]\n\n  \nThe venue has been carefully chosen as the two great houses on site represents very fine examples of late16th century stonework and decorative plasterwork. The Old Hall now mainly roofless was built between 1587 and 1596 by Bess countess of Shrewsbury. She then commenced the construction of the adjacent New Hall in 1590 using the architect Robert Smythson. The two buildings were in use as one complex but the New Hall was much grander and up to date in its design\, the main façade boasting more glass than wall.  The stone for both houses was quarried within the park\, as is the material today for the onsite masons shop. The timber came from the estate and Bess also owned glass making workshops. The lead for roofing came from mines in the Peak District on the other estates owned by Bess. \nThe interiors were decorated with fine decorative plasterwork. The conservation of that in the roofless sections of the Old Hall being quite a difficult technical problem. \nThe day will include formal Power Point presentations\, material handling sessions and first hand observations of some of the main buildings and their conservation problems. \nMain themes \nThe History and Architectural Development of Stone Structures and their Care and Repair  \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 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. \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.  Hardwick Hall has fine surviving examples of decorative plaster work which are worth looking at in detail. The adjacent Old Hall which is in a semi- ruined state retains some elements of its internal decorative plasterwork. It demonstrates some of the conservation problems of stabilising what was intended to be protected within the building but now exposed to the elements. \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.

DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshops\n\n\nCare and repair of historic timber framed structures and stonework \n\nDate: 21 July 2017 \nWhen: 1000 – 1630 \nWhere: Duke of Wellington\, 36 Bugle St\, Southampton SO14 2AH \nCost:  £120.00 plus VAT (£144.00) to include seminar proceedings\, all refreshments\, lunch and comprehensive delegate pack \n  \nThe day’s course will consider in depth three aspects of building conservation. \n\nThe care and repair of historic timber frames\nThe care and repair of historic stonework\nProblems of decay and methods of repair\n\nOur venue\, the Duke of Wellington now a public house was constructed in the late medieval period as a timber framed shop and house over a stone undercroft. The building was partly damaged during the war but was restored shortly after. The meeting room we are using is the upper part of the medieval open hall and displays its very fine timber frame. At 2pm we will visit The Medieval Merchant’s House which is the earliest and most complete in the country. It dates from 1290 and has been restored\, including reproduction furnishings to be presented as it would have looked in the late 13th/early 14th century. It has both stone and timber frame in its construction and the roof restored to its original form with Delabole slate and glazed tile ridge\, finials and louvers. The building displays repair techniques for both the timber frame and stonework. This is a rare opportunity to visit including the undercroft which is not generally available to the public.  In the surrounding area is a number of surviving medieval timber and stone buildings illustrating Southampton’s importance as a trading port. \nThe day will include formal Power Point presentations\, material handling sessions and first hand observations of the buildings in the area. \nMain Themes \nThe History and Development of Historic Timber Structures  \n\nThe 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.\nCase Studies\n\nThe History and Architectural Development of Stone Structures \n\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.\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.\n\nCare and Repair of Historic Structures  \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 building 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 materials can result in the rapid deterioration of historic fabric and long term structural problems. The problems of water movement\, salts and frost will be discussed. Part of the day will be spent on the first hand observation of the historic buildings on site and in the area\, looking in particular at previous repair methods used and recognising areas of potential future decay. \n  \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.

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.

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

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 masonry 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.

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 masonry 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.

It was further updated in the 18th century including the addition of a prestigious coach house in the grounds where we are holding the course. In 1871 fire extensively damaged the great hall and it was reconstructed to a Victorian taste. The buildings display masonry of many periods and centuries of repair including 20th century work.

Its isolated location saved it from total destruction and its inclusion as a romantic ruin in the 18th century landscaped park and water gardens ensured its survival today as the most complete monastic ruin in the country. The site also contains the late 16th century Fountains Hall\, a number of 18th century garden buildings and statues and the fine 19th century church designed by Burges.

This country house is unique in being able to be viewed in its unfinished state with all its constructional details observable. The house is in an 18th century landscaped parkland and construction work started in 1858 for the owner William Leigh. The initial designs were drawn up by Augustus Pugin but a local young aspiring architect Benjamin Bucknall took over for the final detailed designs and construction. The house is a fine example of the Gothic Revival style of architecture. William Leigh died in 1873 and all work stopped with a completed shell and only a small part of the interior fitted out. His successors abandoned the project as it was too expensive to complete or demolish and replace with a new building. During the 20th century the finished parts of the house were used but it was mainly abandoned to the elements and was then purchased by Stroud District Council and leased to the Woodchester Mansion Trust in 1992.  The house is now open to the public and is also used for training courses in stone conservation and craftsmanship and there is a continuing long term programme of repair. \n  \n\n\nSpeaker \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 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.The 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 stonework or 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 stone and 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.\nwoodchester flyer can be downloaded here\nWoodchester booking form can be downloaded here
