SUMMARY:Historic Building workshop\, Traditional vernacular building construction and materials\, Igtham Mote\, Kent
DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshop\nTraditional vernacular building construction and materials\n\n\n\nDate: 3 July 2019 \nWhen: 0900 – 1700 \nWhere: The Bull Hotel followed by Igtham Mote\, Sevenoaks\, Kent \nCost:  £125.00 plus VAT (£150.00) to include seminar proceedings\, all refreshments\, lunch\, entrance to Igtham Mote and comprehensive delegate pack \nThe day’s course will consider in depth three aspects of building conservation. \n\nThe care and repair of historic timber frames and roof structures\nFrame infill panels\, plaster finishes and historic glazing.\nProblems of decay and methods of repair\n\nThe venue has been carefully chosen as Ightham Mote is a fine example of the use of local vernacular materials and traditional timber framed construction. The building developed from a small 14th century moated complex around its Great Hall into a sophisticated small country house by the end of the 17th century. Much of the early work uses the local Kentish Rag stone and the later work is an excellent example of timber framing. The building also displays good examples of joinery\, early internal decoration and the introduction of glass for domestic window glazing in the latter part of the 16th century. The day will include formal Power Point presentations\, material handling sessions and first hand observations of the buildings. The morning’s presentations will be based at the nearby Hadlow Manor Hotel where we will also have lunch. The afternoon will be spent on site at Ightham Mote looking at the buildings so come suitably dressed for the weather conditions of the day. \nMain Themes \nThe History and Development of Historic Timber Frames and Roof Structures  \nThe historic development of timber frames and roof structures from the medieval period to the 19th century \n\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\n Historic Infill panels\, Plasterwork\, and Glass \n\nThe history and construction of historic infill panels\, including wattle and daub and masonry.\nEarly lime plasters and their application.\nThe historic development of window glass and Glazing.\nApproaches to repair and replacement.\n\nIghtham Mote \nThe buildings were constructed over several centuries and reflect the changing needs of the occupants\, social changes and ideas of more comfortable living. The site was very constrained by being surrounded by a moat so all available space around the central courtyard was developed to the full. Stables and other estate buildings were constructed outside the moated area leaving the internal courtyard free of clutter. The buildings have survived remarkably well with only minor change and updating as the site was off the beaten track\, and the owners were not in high office or in the mainstream of society. From 1592 until 1889 the house was owned by the Selby family but in the 20th century was sold twice and in 1951 was purchased by a consortium of local businessmen who saved it from demolition. In 1953 the estate was purchased by an American who gave it to The National Trust in 1985. From 1990 to 2005 the Trust undertook a major scheme of conservation and are now continuing with a rolling programme of repair and maintenance. \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.

SUMMARY:Historic Building workshop\, Breamore\, Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshops\, Traditional vernacular building construction and materials \n\n\n\nDate: Wednesday 19 June 2019 \n\nWhen: 0900 – 1700\nWhere: The Wildlife Conservancy Fordingbridge followed by Breamore House\n\n\n\nCost:  £125.00 plus VAT (£150.00) to include seminar proceedings\, all refreshments\, lunch\,  comprehensive delegate pack\n The day’s course will consider in depth the following aspects of historic building conservation and the care and repair of the heritage. \n\nThe local pallet of historic building materials. These including brick\, stone\, flint\, cob\, timber\, thatch and tile.\nThe methods of selection and use of materials\, identification of causes of failure and the selection of appropriate repair and conservation systems will all be considered.\n\nThe venue has been carefully chosen as the Breamore area is a good example of the historic use of a wide range of local building materials. The day will include formal Power Point presentations in the morning at Burgate Manor\, where we will also have lunch. The afternoon will be devoted to a tour of the Breamore area for first hand observations of the buildings including two of the estate barns. One barn is awaiting repair and has temporary supports\, the other was fully restored several years ago. The barns illustrate some of the conservation problems facing an estate with a large number of listed buildings. \nThe local pallet of traditional materials. \nThe local landscape and historic system of land management affected the availability and use of building materials. The use of stone and flint in the region was not just confined to the grand buildings and churches but was also used for a variety of ordinary domestic and vernacular buildings particularly in their foundations. \nTimber framing was also important in the medieval period but during the 16th century good building timber became scarce in the area as oak was in high demand for ship building for the navy and the local glass industry was devouring vast quantities of timber. \nIn the late medieval period the area saw the development of a local brick and tile industry. After the 16th century brick became the most abundant local building material and was used for both the prestigious houses and the smaller domestic buildings. \nStraw for thatching was readily available from the farming activities on the estate and was the most used local roofing material. However for the more prestigious buildings clay tile was the preferred roofing material and again appeared quite early in the region. \nGlass for glazing windows became more available at the end of the 16th century though was expensive. The use of glass on a larger scale during the 17th and 18th centuries is a good example of the conspicuous display of the wealth of the owner. \nOn the eastern side of the river was the escarpment on the fringe of the Crown Lands. Here there are buildings at the other end of the social scale\, constructed in cob. Many of these were encroachment cottages built quickly and cheaply from the ground they were standing on and using round poles of hedgerow timber for their roof structures. \nCare and Repair  \nThe first important stage of the process of repair 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 materials and the dangers of the use of modern products which may not be as flexible or vapour permeable as the original materials.  The use of inappropriate mortars can result in the rapid deterioration of historic masonry and long term structural problems. Many of the problems with historic structures are due to lack of maintenance and water ingress. The most appropriate methods of repair will be considered\, not only for aesthetic reasons\, but to ensure the correct performance and durability of the new work. \nA brief history of the Breamore area. \nThe Breamore area has a long history of occupation and land management. To the west at Rockbourne was a large Roman Villa controlling the arable lands in the Avon valley. At Breamore there is an important Anglo Saxon church and in 1130 an Augustinian priory was founded on land adjacent to the church. \nDuring the Medieval period the area was part of the priory estate and on the eastern side of the river was the Royal hunting park of the New Forest. To the north was the lands controlled by the Bishop of Salisbury with his palace at Clarendon and to the south the vibrant market town of Fordingbridge. \nAfter the Dissolution of the Monasteries the estate past into private hands and in 1583 an Elizabethan mansion was constructed on the old priory site. In 1748 the estate was purchased by Sir Edward Hulse\, Baronet\, and has remained in the family ever since. Two miles south of Breamore is Burgate Manor\, our venue for the morning. This is an early 19th century house in Gothic revival style with a castellated façade facing the river. It would appear to be a remodelling of an earlier building and is a good example of the use of roman cement render to create the Gothic style. \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.

Extra wings were added during the 16th century and the final phase completed in 1610. The buildings display the height of Tudor fashion with decorative framing\, moulded plasterwork and even a 68 foot long gallery. At this time window glass had become readily available and the windows contain some 30\,000 leaded quarries set in a variety of patterns. \nThe carpenter who worked on the building in1559 was so pleased with his work that it carries the inscription; “Rycharde Dale Carpenter made this windovs by the grac of god” \nBy 1892 the hall was almost derelict when Elizabeth Moreton inherited it. She began a programme of repair which included the insertion of steel rods to stabilise the long gallery as it was suffering badly from roof thrust. The hall was transferred into the ownership of the National Trust in 1938 and they have continued with a sensitive approach to repair. \nDownload the little moreton flyer \nDownload the booking form \nOr book online below with a credit/debit card\, to enter names of delegates if the booking is not for yourself [please use the note field \nYou can also call 07429 523183

The collections also contain artefacts and equipment associated with the buildings and local crafts and rural industries. The museum is in 55 acres of parkland and woodland and contains buildings rescued from destruction and moved to the museum site. They include domestic buildings of various periods from medieval to the mid-19th century medieval barns and later agricultural buildings\, and rural industrial/craft buildings. There is also an early 20th century prefabricated chapel. The process of dismantling and rebuilding structures has enabled a better understanding of historic constructional techniques and the use of traditional materials. It has also enabled the developing and testing of conservation approaches and methods which are now becoming applicable to commercial renovations of our stock of heritage buildings. The museum attracts some 150000 visitors each year and runs a very successful educational programme for all ages and levels from school children to MSc students. \nDownload the event flyer \nDownload the w&d booking form \nOr book online below with a credit/debit card\, to enter names of delegates if the booking is not for yourself [please use the note field

He was also instrumental in the foundation of the National Trust and inspired and encouraged a generation of Arts & Crafts architects\, designers and craftsmen. The house was constructed using local materials and displays many Arts and Crafts Features. The interior finishes and furnishings are some of the best surviving products of William Morris and his friends in the Arts & Crafts Movement and set the style and standards for the Edwardian period. The house was left to the National Trust in 1972 and now attracts over 80\,000 visitors per year. \n\nSpeaker \nKevin Stubbs BA(Hons)  DipBldgCons(AA)  IHBC   CertEd Kevin Stubbs is a Historic Buildings Consultant and comes with a background of education\, archaeology and building conservation.

The collections also contain artefacts and equipment associated with the buildings and local crafts and rural industries. The museum is in 45 acres of parkland and woodland and contains 35 buildings rescued from destruction and moved to the museum site. They include medieval barns and later agricultural buildings\, domestic buildings of various periods including a 20th century prefab and rural industrial/craft buildings. The process of dismantling and rebuilding structures has enabled a better understanding of historic constructional techniques and the use of traditional materials. It has also enabled the developing and testing of conservation approaches and methods which are now becoming applicable to commercial renovations of our stock of heritage buildings. \nDownload the chiltern flyer \nDownload the chiltern booking form \nOr book online below with a credit/debit card\, to enter names of delegates if the booking is not for yourself use the note field

The historic core of the house was constructed in the 1573 on the site of a medieval abbey. The house that we see today is a remodelling in stone dating to1702 shortly followed by a grand stable block and estate buildings constructed in brick in 1712. A riding school was added in 1767 reflecting the growing interest in horse racing. In 1807 William Wilkins was commissioned to upgrade the main façade of the house with the addition of a Grecian portico. There were a number of small changes in the 19th century and then nothing in the 20th century as the house and estate slid into a gentle decline. The estate was in the ownership of the Harpur family from 1622 and the last of the direct line of the family died in 1999.The house and a large part of the estate was rescued by the National Trust in 1984 via an arrangement with the government on death duties and a grant of £4.5 million from the National Lottery Fund. \nThe day will include formal Power Point presentations and material handling sessions in the morning and then in the afternoon a visit to the estate buildings and house for first hand observations of the buildings and the details of their construction and conservation. \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.

There had been little change to the buildings and minimal maintenances work for the last 150 years. The contents of the building are quite unusual in that nothing was ever thrown away when it became shabby or obsolete. The attics had not been redecorated since the mid-19th century and were piled high with clutter. The whole estate was a time capsule of a past age with a character of its own. The big challenge for the National Trust was to stop further decline and deterioration but not to over-restore and loose the decayed atmosphere of time standing still. The buildings and their contents\, although carefully conserved\, still look very much like on the day the Trust took them on. \nDownload the calke flyer \n\nDownload the calke 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\, to enter names of delegates if the booking is not for yourself use the note field)

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 a 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. \nCastle Drogo\, its design and fabric\nCastle Drogo was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens for Julius Drew the very successful Victorian who owned the Home and Colonial Stores empire. He became a millionaire and was able to retire at the age of 33 and live the life of a country gentleman. He believed his ancestry stretched back to the Norman Conquest and so was keen to have a castle but with all the modern conveniences of the early 20th century. Lutyens designed a very large ambitious castle but eventually only about a third of it was built at three times the cost of the original budget. Work on the project started in 1910 and continued to 1925.The site chosen was very exposed and the local granite was used extensively for the fabric. The flat roof was constructed in cast concrete with an encased steel beam structure and then waterproofed with asphalt. The granite walls proved to be porous to the driving rain and the flat roof system doomed to early failure. \nThe National Trust were given the castle in 1974 and have been struggling with water ingress ever since. A major conservation project was commenced in 2013 and is due to be completed at the end of this year. It has involved dismantling and rebuilding high level areas of the granite wall structure and the total renewal of the weathering system of the flat roof. All the stone mullion windows have been overhauled as they were also a source of water ingress. \nDownload the  castle drogo flyer \n\nDownload the castle drogo 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\, to enter names of delegates if the booking is not for yourself use the note field)

The building is the product of a collaboration between Lord Stuart de Rothesay and his architect William Donthorn in 1831 in the picturesque Gothic style. Lord Stuart had a remarkable career as a diplomat and spent two period as British Ambassador in Paris. Whilst in France he amassed a vast collection of architectural salvage including 12 barge loads of Medieval and 16th century stonework\, stained glass\, panelling\, antique furniture and tapestries. This hoard of materials formed the major elements for his new house. \nThe castle was bought in 1967 for development and shortly after suffered two fires and then followed 20 years of vandalism and dereliction. The local council compulsorily purchased the property and in 1990 temporary works were undertaken to prevent further decay. In 1994 a phased scheme of repair commenced and is still ongoing with the current phase being supported by a £2.9 million Lottery Fund grant. The building now has a watertight shell with new roofs and well restored exterior. The interior was so badly damaged that it could not be economically restored to its former glory. However\, basic consolidation has been undertaken and areas brought back into community use. This conservation of the interior “as found” approach using modern materials to provide useable spaces is a quite interesting solution. \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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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. A 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.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.\nknole flyercan be downloaded here\nknole booking form can be downloaded here

This major and very impressive medieval castle was extensively reconstructed in the mid to late 14th century. In the 17th century the domestic range of the castle was in poor condition and was remodelled with all the comforts of a country house. 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. 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.

The abbey was one of the largest and wealthiest in Medieval Europe and displays good examples of stone construction from 1132 to the 16th century Dissolution of the monastery’s. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshops\n\n\nBricks and mortars\n\nDate: 15 July 2016 \nWhen: 1000 – 1630 \nWhere: Woodchester Mansion \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\n\n\nThe care and repair of historic stonework\nThe care and repair of historic brickwork\nUnderstanding historic mortars and the use of lime in conservation\n\n\n\n[/custom_list] \nThe venue has been carefully chosen as it represents a fine example of 19th century stonework. 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.
