The house is designated Grade I listed building\, while its surrounding park and gardens are listed at Grade II. \nConstructed in 1581 for the wealthy cloth merchant Thomas Dolman\, the house later became associated with the Second Battle of Newbury\, during which it stood at the centre of the fighting. Although long believed to have served as headquarters for King Charles I\, recent research suggests he never actually visited the property. The house did\, however\, host other notable visitors\, including Elizabeth I. \nIn the 1720s\, Shaw House was acquired by James Brydges\, 1st Duke of Chandos. While not his principal residence\, the family spent time in the area\, and the second Duke became known locally for marrying Anne Wells\, a chambermaid from Newbury. Following the first Duke’s death in 1744\, the dowager duchess resided at the house until 1750\, after which it was sold to the Andrews family. It later became the childhood home of historian James Pettit Andrews and\, for many years\, also served as a school. \nWhy choose CPD essentials\n✅ Local✅ Cost effective✅ Expert and informative speakers✅ Personal and friendly service \n💼 Price: £160 + VAT (includes refreshments\, lunch\, and a comprehensive online delegate pack)🎯 CPD: 6 hours \nContact Alison with any questions \nSpeakers \nMarianne Suhr \n\n\n\n\nMarianne is a Chartered Building Surveyor and has specialised in conservation and traditional construction for 30 years. Always fascinated by historic buildings\, her early career started as a Clerk of Works for The National Trust\, followed by a travelling scholarship with the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB). She worked for seven years in architectural practice on high profile buildings such as Cardiff Castle\, Kelmarsh Hall and the National Trust estate at Avebury. \nIn 2002 Marianne gave up her desk job to concentrate on ‘hands on’ building experience. Her first project was a derelict farmhouse in Leicestershire which she spent two years bringing back to life\, learning a variety of practical skills on her journey. She has since repaired and adapted three other houses of her own; a cottage in Bristol\, and more recently\, two timber framed houses in Oxfordshire\, gaining specialist knowledge along the way. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShe was a co presenter during three series of BBC2’s ‘Restoration’ programme. She has also fronted the Discovery series\, ‘Project Restoration’ and worked with Kevin McCloud on Channel 4’s ‘Restoration of the Year’.\n\n\nFor over ten years Marianne worked with the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings\, running around 100 courses and practical workshops around the country\, teaching builders\, homeowners and architects how to repair old buildings using traditional materials. She continues to teach on various aspects of repair and retrofit in conjunction with the SPAB and The National Trust. \nIn 2008\, Marianne co-authored the ‘Old House Handbook’\, designed as a practical resource and guide for homeowners on all aspects of traditional building repair. Updated in 2023\, it continues to be the ‘go to’ book for anyone buying or owning an old house. A companion volume\, the ‘Old House Eco Handbook’ furthers this mission and advises on energy efficiency and retrofitting. \nOver many years of learning through ‘hands-on’ experience\, Marianne has developed a practical approach to repair and retrofit She is dedicated to the philosophy of ‘repair’ rather than ‘replace’\, retaining the integrity and authenticity of an old house. She is particularly interested in using lime mortars\, lime plasters and traditional paints to give buildings both an authentic finish and to allow them to ‘breathe’. \nMarianne enjoys the challenge of ‘reworking’ buildings with poor internal layouts\, and using good design to problem solve and update tired interiors. \nKevin Stubbs BA (HonsArch). DipBldgCons (AA). IHBC. CertEd. \nKevin Stubbs is a Historic Buildings Consultant and comes with a background of education\, archaeology and building conservation. In his early life he was director of an Archaeological field unit. For many years he was Principal Historic Buildings Conservation Officer for Hampshire County Council\, later acted as the Director of a Museum & Building Conservation Centre and since 2007 has run his own Historic Building Consultancy. Since 1977 he has been an advisor to a very active local Buildings Preservation Trust. In 2022 he was invited to take up the post of Senior Courses leader for the York University validated MSc Building Conservation courses based at the Weald & Downland Living Museum. These courses are designed on a modular basis to cater for those mature students who are in full time professional employment & wish to gain an advanced qualification in building conservation \nHenry Landis\, Historic England \nFire safety advisor
