SUMMARY:Historic Building workshop\, Traditional vernacular building construction and materials\, Clandon Park\, Guildford SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshop  SOLD OUT\nTraditional vernacular building construction and materials\n\n\nDate: 17 October 2019 \nWhen: 0900 – 1700 \nWhere: Guildford Manor hotel followed by Clandon Park \nCost:  £125.00 plus VAT (£150.00) to include seminar proceedings\, all refreshments\, lunch\, entrance to Blickling and comprehensive delegate pack \nThe 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\, flint\, timber frame\, tile\, and plaster.\nProblems of decay and methods of repair particularly after disasters such as fire.\nClandon Park. The aftermath of the disastrous fire and implications for the future.\n\nThe venue has been carefully chosen. Clandon Park was a fine example of the use of local vernacular materials and traditional construction. The building was constructed in the early 1720s for Lord Onslow and replaced an earlier Jacobean house. It reflected the wealth and social status of the original owner and was designed as a prestigious house in which to entertain. The architect was a Venetian\, Giacomo Leoni and is in the Palladian Villa style. The exterior was rather plain in red brick with some stone elements. However the interior was highly decorated with sumptuous plasterwork by the stuccadore\, Giuseppe Artari. The magnificent carved marble fireplace over-mantel reliefs in the Marble Hall were by the great sculptor John Michael Rysbrack. In the late 19th century some alterations and updating of the interior was undertaken. However in the 20th century the house reflected the general decline of the fortunes of many of these old families and was in a poor state of repair after WW2 during which it had been used as an out of London  store for documents from the Public Records Office. The family clung on to the house until it got too much for them and they gifted it to the N.T. in 1956. \nSadly in 2015 there was a disastrous fire which gutted the building and destroyed much of the collection. Restoration of the buildings fabric is due to commence next year so this will be one of the last chances to view the burnt out shell. The fire has revealed details of the original fabric and methods of construction and has raised much discussion as to the philosophy of repair and restoration. \nThe day will include formal Power Point presentations\, material handling sessions and first hand observations of the buildings. The morning’s presentations will be based nearby where we will also have lunch. The afternoon will be spent on site at Clandon Park looking at the building and its materials of construction so come suitably dressed for the weather. \nThe local pallet of traditional materials. \nThe local landscape and historic system of land management affected the availability and use of building materials. In the Medieval period use of flint and stone in the form of chalk Clunch can be seen in the construction of the local churches and flint continues to be used for boundary walls into the 19th century. \nTimber framing was also important in parts of the region in the medieval period but during the 16th century good building timber became scarce as oak was in high demand for ship building for the navy and the  rapidly developing window glass industry was devouring vast quantities of timber. \nIn the late medieval period parts of the area saw the development of a local brick and tile industry which continued to develop and thrive right into the 20th century. \nStraw for thatching was readily available from farming activities. However for the more prestigious vernacular buildings clay tiles were extensively used from the 16th century onwards and where in prolific use by the end of the 19th century. The mid-nineteenth century saw the railways coming to the region and they provided cheap transport for building materials coming from other parts of the country. In this period slate from North Wales became popular for roofing. \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. \nClandon Park \nThe house was considered to be one of the most complete examples of early 18th Palladian architecture. The interior had very fine examples of decoration and craftsmanship of the period and also furniture and collections of national importance. \nSadly the fire in 2015 was so severe and developed so quickly that only a small percentage of the contents could be rescued. The fine stucco ceilings were destroyed together with the decorative finishes to the walls. Today the building is a roofless shell\, totally enclosed by a huge scaffold canopy erected immediately after the fire to protect the surviving structural elements. The post fire debris were cleared as an archaeological process and many thousands of pieces of decorative plasterwork recovered. This system of recovery has produced so much information and fragments that it should be possible to reconstruct the architecture and decoration of the principle room. The fire has also revealed much information on the use of materials and details of the construction of the fabric of the house. \nThe conservation of the fabric and restoration of the building is due to commence next year and will involve many skilled craftsmen using traditional materials and techniques to reinstate the buildings grandeur and will take several years. It is proposed to restore the principle rooms to their former appearance. However\, the less significant areas of the interior are likely to be given a modern design to create exhibition and visitor facilities. \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\, Blickling Hall\, Norfolk
DESCRIPTION:Historic Building workshop\nTraditional vernacular building construction and materials\n\n\nDate: 25 October 2019 \nWhen: 0900 – 1700 \nWhere: Banningham Crown  followed by Blickling Estate \nCost:  £125.00 plus VAT (£150.00) to include seminar proceedings\, all refreshments\, lunch\, entrance to Blickling and comprehensive delegate pack \nThe 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\, timber\, thatch and tile.\nThe more prestigious materials such as decorative plasterwork and glass.\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 afternoon will be spent on a visit to Blickling House. Although this is a high status building it reflects the use of locally available materials in the early 17th century. The venue has been carefully chosen as Blickling House 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 the nearby Walpole Arms\, where we will also have lunch. The afternoon will be devoted to a tour of the site for first hand observations of the buildings. \nThe local pallet of traditional materials. \nThe 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. Timber framing was also important in the medieval period but during the 16th century good building timber became scarce in the region. In the late medieval period the region saw some of the earliest use of brick in the country. 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. Water reed for thatching roofs was readily available from the reed beds of the wetland areas of the region. However for the more prestigious buildings clay tile was the preferred roofing material and again appeared quite early in the region. Glass for glazing windows became more available at the end of the 16th century though was expensive. The early 17th century use of glass on a large scale at Blickling House is a good example of the conspicuous display of the wealth of the owner. The interior of the house has good surviving decorative plasterwork from the 17th and 18th centuries. \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 Blickling \nThe house was constructed for Sir Henry Hobart who was the distinguished Chief Justice of the Common Pleas at the court of James 1st. It was designed by Robert Lyminge on the site of a former Medieval and Tudor manor. The house is a very grand Jacobean mansion with no expense spared. The building and its lavish interiors befitting the status of its owner. Of note is the Great Hall\, the Grand Staircase and the Long Gallery\, some 123 feet long. Outstanding original decorative ceilings by Edward Stanyon also survive. \nIn the 18th century there was some remodelling of the north and west ranges by Thomas and William Ivory for John Hobart the second Earl of Buckinghamshire. In 1793 the landscaped park was redesigned by Humphry Repton. In the 19th century a small amount of updating and alterations were undertaken but these do not impinge on the period splendour of the building. \nThe estate was given to the National Trust in 1940 and the house opened to the public in 1962. \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.
