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\, Traditional vernacular building construction and materials
DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshops – Traditional Vernacular Building Construction and Materials\n\n\n \nDate: Thursday 18 July 2019 \n\nWhen: 0900 – 1700\nWhere: Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet\, Abbeydale Road South\, Sheffield S7 2QW\n\nCost £125 plus VAT (£150.00) to include seminar proceedings\, all refreshments\, lunch\, entry to the museum and comprehensive delegate pack\nThe day’s course will consider in depth three aspects of building conservation. \n[custom_list style=”list-2″] \n\nThe care and repair of traditional materials including stone\, brick\, mortar and stone slates.\nRecognising and interpreting change and adaptation in historic building construction.\nThe construction and former use of the historic Industrial and domestic buildings of Abbeydale\n\nThe venue has been carefully chosen as Abbeydale is an amazingly complete and rare surviving group of industrial and domestic buildings reflecting the vernacular materials and construction of the region in the 18th and 19th centuries. At the time the area was the “Silicon Valley” of the steel industry with its innovative methods of producing metal suitable for sharp edged tools. Although this particular site produced the humble Scythe it reflects the early years of the development of Sheffield as a world leader in the production of steel and fine cutlery. \nThe day will include formal Power Point presentations in the morning and a tour of the site in the afternoon for first hand observations of the buildings and the surviving machinery of the manufacturing processes. \nMain themes \nCare and repair of traditional materials. \nThe 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\, identification of causes of failure and the selection of appropriate repair and conservation systems will be considered. Stone roofing slates was also a distinctive historic local material which is now difficult to source and also to find craftsmen capable of undertaking repairs. \nAlthough the most abundant local building material was stone\, brick became the more popular cheap alternative in the 19th century\, particularly with the coming of the railways providing an inexpensive means of bulk transport. \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 mortars and the dangers of the use of modern cementitious products.  The use of inappropriate mortars can result in the rapid deterioration of historic fabric and long term structural problems. The problems of water movement\, salts and frost 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. \nInterpreting change and adaptation. \nMost historic buildings have undergone some change during their life. It is important to recognise the evidence for these changes which in some instances may be the cause of more recent structural movement. Buildings may have been adapted to a new use for which they were not originally structurally designed and again this may be the source of current problems. The tour of the site in the afternoon will give the opportunity to consider first-hand the evidence for changes to the buildings fabric. \nThe historic buildings of Abbeydale \nThe Abbeydale complex was one of the largest water powered industrial sites on the River Sheaf. Originally the water wheels were powered directly by the river but in 1777 a large four acre dam was constructed to provide the greater capacity to power the tilt hammers and grinders. Later a steam engine was added to provide power when there was a shortage of water in the dam. The special tool steel was produced on site in the crucible furnace. This was a local 18th century invention which revolutionised the production process and was the root of the rise of Sheffield as a world renowned steel producer. \nThe site was used for the production of scythes and other edged tools from 1714 to 1933. The historic equipment for all stages of production still survives on site. Most of the buildings date to the 18th and 19th centuries and are mainly constructed in the local stone\, with stone slate covered roofs. One building has a 19th century brick façade\, and the furnaces and their chimneys were also of brick. \nThe complex not only contains industrial buildings and associated machinery but also cottages for the key workers and the manager’s house. \nIn 1960 a public appeal raised £50\,000 for the repair of the buildings and the site was opened to the public in 1970. Since 1998 the site has been run by the Sheffield Industrial Museums Trust who have been successful in obtaining a lottery grant for constructing interpretation and visitor facilities. \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.
