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.

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. \nUnderstanding historic mortars and the use of lime in the conservation of brickwork\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 historic fabric of Calke Abbey and associated estate buildings\nThe Historic Fabric of Calke Abbey and associated estate buildings \nThe house and its associated buildings display a wide range of traditional building materials and methods of construction. 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) URL:https://cpdessentials.co.uk/event/historic-building-calke/ LOCATION:Calke Abbey\, Ticknall\, Derby\, Derbyshire\, DE73 7LE\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Historic Buildings ORGANIZER;CN="CPD Essentials":MAILTO:alison@cpdessentials.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20180710T093000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20180710T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T215709 CREATED:20180511T124309Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180702T155439Z UID:5547-1531215000-1531242000@cpdessentials.co.uk SUMMARY:Historic Building workshop\, Care and repair of historic masonry\, Castle Drogo\, Devon - SOLD OUT DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshops – SOLD OUT\n\n\nCare & repair of historic brickwork\n  \n \n\nDate: Tuesday 10 July 2018\nWhen: 0930 – 1700\nWhere: Drewe Arms\, Drewsteighton followed by Castle Drogo\nCost:  £125.00 plus VAT (£150.00) to include seminar proceedings\, all refreshments\, lunch\, entry to the Castle\, hard hat tour 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 stonework\nUnderstanding historic mortars and the use of lime in conservation\nThe historic Fabric of Castle Drogo including the inherent problems of the early 20th century construction.\n\nThe venue has been carefully chosen as the house represents fine examples of a 20th century country house designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

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) URL:https://cpdessentials.co.uk/event/historic-building-castledrogo/ LOCATION:Castle Drogo\, Castle Drogo Drive\, \, Drewsteignton\, Exeter \, Devon\, EX6 6PB\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Historic Buildings ORGANIZER;CN="CPD Essentials":MAILTO:alison@cpdessentials.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20180622T093000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20180622T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T215709 CREATED:20180321T143526Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180321T162730Z UID:5324-1529659800-1529686800@cpdessentials.co.uk SUMMARY:Historic Building workshop\, Care and repair of historic masonry structures\, Highcliffe Castle\, Christchurch\, Dorset DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshops\n\n\nCare & repair of historic masonry strucbures\n  \n \n\nDate: Friday 22 June 2018\nWhen: 0930 – 1700\nWhere: Highliffe Castle\, Christchurch\, Dorset\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 stonework\nUnderstanding historic mortars and the use of lime in conservation\nThe historic Fabric of Highcliffe Castle including the ongoing repair and consolidation project.\n\n[/custom_list] \nThe venue has been carefully chosen as the house represents a fine examples of a Grade 1 country house with a recent history of two disastrous fires\, dereliction\, and the ensuing battle to save it for future generations. 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. 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 stonework\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. \nCare & 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 Highcliffe Castle\nThe approach to the conservation of the building will be considered in detail and contrasted to other restoration projects of badly damaged buildings. The meticulous repair of the exterior has enabled the building to be presented in the architectural form as conceived by Lord Stuart and Donthorn and is a spectacular example of the Picturesque Gothic style. The consolidation of the interior allows the surviving post fire fabric of the building to be observed with no attempt to restore or create a facsimile of the original. No attempt has been made to disguise new structural elements and all options for restoration left open for the future. \nParking \nThe parking at Highcliffe Castle is limited to 4 hours.

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.
