Abstract:
In the period 1970–85, tree-ring research in Europe had resulted in the production of long oak chronologies for both Ireland and Germany going back over 7000 years (e.g. Brown et al. 1986; Leuschner & Delorme 1984). In England, there was a network of regional chronologies covering the historic period, and almost no chronological coverage for the prehistoric. For the archaeologist this meant that, provided a site from the historic period produced a replicated site chronology, the chances of dating by dendrochronology were very high. The chances of this happening for a prehistoric site were poor by comparison, although some sites were successfully dated, for example the Iron Age causeway from Fiskerton in Liricolnshire and the Hasholme log boat found in North Humberside (Hillam 1987).The period 1985–88 saw an intense effort to outline a prehistoric oak tree-ring chronology in England (Baillie & Brown 1988). This work centred on sub-fossil oaks from East Anglia and Lancashire and built on a previous chronology from Swan Carr, near Durham which spanned 1155–381 BC (Baillie et al. 1983). The approach to chronology-building was to produce wellreplicated chronology units which could be located precisely in time against the existing Irish (Pilcher et al. 1984) and North German (Leuschner & Delorme 1984) chronologies.

Abstract:
The faculty jurisdiction of the Church of England is the core of what remains as a distinctive system of Church Law in England. It serves inter alia to safeguard the national heritage of parish churches and it is the reason why ecclesiastical buildings in use generally are immune from listed building control under secular planning law. The faculty jurisdiction still provides a model for regulating the conservation of buildings of historic and aesthetic interest and their contents which can be compared favourably with listed building control.

Abstract:
Adaptive re-use in heritage buildings is perceived as a viable alternative in restoring the existing building to accommodate for new or continued building use while addressing its heritage agenda. In the conservation approach of adaptive re-use, new interventions of historic interiors are often subject to insensible alteration particularly in its interior design outcome resulting in compromised heritage representation in Malaysia. The government’s efforts to protect and manage historic buildings are illustrated by the implementation of the National Heritage Act 2005 and the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines 2016. However, there are insufficient guidance concerning new interior design works of a historic interior within Malaysia. The primary aim of this paper is to identify the current limitation of the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines in Malaysia pertaining to historic interior works and to contribute to the discussion surrounding this matter. The paper presents comparative analysis and interpretation of literature and grey documents (guidelines and policies) in adaptive re-use of heritage buildings in Malaysia. The data generated is compared with similar conservation approach guidelines from England and United States of America. The analysis revealed that the Historic Building Conservation Guidelines is a comprehensive document that underscores physical action to preserve the fabric and materials of heritage buildings. However, while the broad definitions for new design proposal to be sympathetic and visual appropriateness to the existing building character are acceptable, it may lead to unintended interpretation and consequences. The paper suggests that the existing guideline need to be accompanied with additional guidance to aid practitioners especially architects and interior designers in dealing with historic interior using the comparative analysis with goals to intensify the value of historic interior that involves new intervention.

Abstract:
Abstract. The recent increase in frequency and severity of flooding in the UK has led to a shift in the perception of risk associated with flood hazards. This has extended to the conservation community, and the risks posed to historic structures that suffer from flooding are particularly concerning for those charged with preserving and maintaining such buildings. In order to fully appraise the risks in a manner appropriate to the complex issue of preservation, a new methodology is presented here that studies the nature of the vulnerability of such structures, and places it in the context of risk assessment, accounting for the vulnerable object and the subsequent exposure of that object to flood hazards. The testing of the methodology is carried out using three urban case studies and the results of the survey analysis provide guidance on the development of fragility curves for historic structures exposed to flooding. This occurs through appraisal of vulnerability indicators related to building form, structural and fabric integrity, and preservation of architectural and archaeological values. Key findings of the work include determining the applicability of these indicators to fragility analysis, and the determination of the relative vulnerability of the three case study sites.

Abstract:
Historically, little effort had been made to match patch repairs to culturally significant reinforced concrete structures so that they are effective and sustain the aesthetic values of the structure. The collaborative research project, Performance Evaluation of Patch Repairs on Historic Concrete Structures (PEPS), being undertaken by Getty Conservation Institute (GCI), Historic England (HE) and the Laboratoire de Recherche des Monuments Historiques (LRMH), seeks to address this problem. Through its advice on grant-aided projects, Historic England has tried to achieve effective like-for-like repairs over the last 20 years. The ten English sites selected for the PEPs Phase II non-destructive testing (NDT) includes some of the buildings and structures where this repair work was carried out. Data on site location, specification of repair, environmental conditions, test results and tentative conclusions from this phase of the research is presented in this paper. Five of the sites will be subject to further NDT and destructive testing and sampling as part of Phase III.

Abstract:
From 1950 rural Lancashire, in England, became the focus of a major renewal scheme to accommodate population overspill from nearby cities of Liverpool and Manchester. Over a period of 15 years the initial proposal for a series of self-contained new towns progressed into an ambitious scheme for a single polycentric “supercity” for 500,000 people. Known as Central Lancashire New Town and designed by RMJM, this part-realised development was the last and largest New Town designated under the 1965 Act. Its theoretical urban pattern, which followed new and proposed infrastructure, was unique. Based on a ladder system this straddled rich agricultural land and declining post-industrial townscapes to unify and expand existing settlements with the aim of generating prosperity on a sub-regional scale. CLNT was not completed but its planning phases can be traced across Lancashire’s urban and rural landscapes by built communications networks and city-scale public and civic buildings. Referencing three different new town typologies this paper will outline the project’s evolution and identify the impact that designing for the motorcar and future change had on the provision of green space. This research has been undertaken using previously “closed” archival resources and architectural journal and local press articles.

Abstract:
In this policy-relevant thesis, the findings also revealed implications in conservation practice. Conservation importance takes precedence over the importance of Accessibility in the regulative framework of development control process, although Accessibility is placed with some importance. This is the main result of the findings from a triangulated study using a Single Case study to validate the findings obtained from the Survey Method using Interviews and Delphi Method conducted on the mechanisms of development processes on the Development Control Process in England and Wales. Accessibility to Historic and Listed Public Buildings involves the practice of conservation, which is accommodating the needs of disabled people to access and use of the facilities provided in historical premises. The implications also include aspects of design, management and operations of the historic building and its services. My study took into account the Accessibility and Inclusive Design development in the United Kingdom since the start of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 until 2005 when the data collection stage was completed. This was when governmental initiatives to include disabled people in mainstream public activities were implemented by the adoption of the Social Model of Disability in U.K. government policies, the establishment of the rights based legislation and the creation of influential financial support for the active reusing of historic buildings by including access plans in applications for the Heritage Lottery Fund. Concurrently, the efforts in adding the value of accessibility to existing historic buildings in many urban regenerated areas in England and Wales involved the stakeholders, local government, the client and their representatives to the development process including heritage service providers. The research aim of my thesis is to ascertain whether the mechanisms used in the development control process and the non development control process were able to contribute in achieving accessibility to historic public buildings in England and Wales.

Abstract:
Shelters, as preventive conservation methods, have traditionally been considered a better option than leaving the site exposed. However, there has been limited research on their effect on the preservation of heritage materials and, as a result, there is no clear scientific evidence to support sheltering. This study aims to provide the first rigorous scientific assessment of the effect of lightweight, open shelters on limestone deterioration at archaeological sites. A method based on the use of low-cost environmental monitoring equipment and limestone blocks and tablets (as indicators of decay) has been developed to determine the degree of protection provided by the shelters at the Bishop' Palace (Witney, England) and Hagar Qim (Malta). Preliminary visual assessments of the field sites were followed by 12-18 month exposure trials. Temperature extremes and fluctuations, frost events, relative humidity extremes and fluctuations, NaCl crystallisation events, solar radiation, wetting events, salt content, atmospheric pollutants and dust deposition were monitored. In addition, stone decay was studied by analysing changes in weight, elasticity, surface hardness, ultrasonic pulse velocity, surface colour, moisture content and general appearance (microscopic and macroscopic pictures) in stone samples. An exhaustive assessment of the shelter at the Bishop's Palace was carried out using Chalk, Cotswold and Portland limestone blocks as well as Portland limestone tablets (specifically for studying dissolution, soiling and biological growth). Additionally, a comparative assessment of the effects of the two shelters in contrasting climatic environments, the Bishop's Palace (temperate maritime) and Hagar Qim (Mediterranean), was undertaken by monitoring Globigerina and Coralline limestone blocks simultaneously at both sites. The research has shown that lightweight, open shelters do not exclude decay completely but minimise it. However, there are some areas at higher risk of decay, i.e. top parts of the walls and the periphery. In addition, problems with the shelter design can enhance some decay mechanisms, such as biocolonisation on the periphery at the Bishop's Palace and dust deposition under the shelter at Hagar Qim. Therefore, the effectiveness of shelters should not be assumed.

Abstract:
AbstractThere are numerous lessons to be learned from historic buildings, such as the rich diversity of their traditional architecture, the use of natural and local materials, their durability and resilience, or because they allow for thermal comfort in severe climatic and weather conditions. Today, many of these heritage buildings are still standing and in use, but their shape may have changed significantly from when they were built. In this sense, to accurately analyse historic buildings, 3D models that approximate their geometry (as-is/as-built models) must be produced. Based on terrestrial laser scanning 3D point clouds, as-is 3D modelling can represent the geometrical alterations of the assets to enable diverse analyses and simulations. This work addresses Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem building, claimed to be the oldest inn in England, UK (1189 AD). Hence, this historic building presents numerous deformations such as warped and tilted walls, recess in walls, non-planar ceilings, and an irregular arrangement of bent ceiling beams. This Grade II listed building is located near Nottingham Castle, beneath Castle Rock, the natural promontory on which the castle is situated. A part of the inn is inside rock-hewn caves under Castle Rock, making it a unique landmark with special indoor thermal conditions. Due to the complex geometry of the building, laser scanning-based 3D modelling is found essential to communicate the building’s features to help understand its thermal behaviour. This paper aims to investigate how Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem building is capable of regulating indoor temperature and humidity in different locations, for which the as-is 3D modelling and environmental monitoring of this historic building are discussed. Based on the findings, the lessons learnt from studying old buildings could be utilised to enhance the sustainability of modern buildings.

Abstract:
Abstract “Authenticity” and “continuity” were words frequently mentioned by preservationists not simply to define the desired qualities of historic sites but implicitly to show their dissatisfaction with modernity. As a result, Appleton and his colleagues wanted to develop museums that would il lustrate the early lives of Yankees and show their relevance to modern New England. While SPNEA principally focused on preserving threatened buildings, it also worked to recreate the earlier environment by establishing an arts-and-crafts museum, developing period rooms, and building a folk park such as Skansen. Ironically, these efforts were both helped and hampered by a newer interest in antiques. More Americans were indeed finding solace in an imagined past through its material vestiges, but as art museums, speculators, and homeowners increasingly absorbed the nostalgia of the Colonial Revival, they began to ransack old buildings. By the 1920s preservation was readjusting to the contours of consumerism. What pushed SPNEA into the museum movement was the realization that there were glaring holes in the historical picture. For too long scholars had almost solely relied on the written records of once-famous Yankee men, thus slighting the more numerous settlers who left little or no written record. That omission was aggravated by the fact that many antiquaries, nurtured by a heady brew of Victorian domesticity, were interested in early home life.

Abstract During its first three decades SPNEA acquired forty buildings and aided in the preservation of many more. From the first days it acknowledged having an open-ended acquisitions policy. Henry Erving predicted that bankruptcy and disaster would follow. “I can but think, Mr. Appleton,” he wrote in 1921, that the aims and desires perhaps of the Society are almost too ambitious. I don’t think it possible for it to take up every old house that is offered however meritorious or otherwise My idea of the Society’s function is that it should have two or three bits of property-the best obtainable-and do the very best thing-everything that is necessary in fact-to those particular places.

Abstract:
Abstract When Appleton founded SPNEA in 1910, it was unlike any other preservation enterprise in the United States. Showing the imprint of progressivism, it assumed the task specifically of protecting endangered buildings and declared a commitment to scientific method, expert management, and the market economy. Organized as a regional movement from its corporate base, it also neatly interlocked with existing institutions. Appleton knew that historic preservation faced formidable obstacles. Many Yankees who possessed credentials that matched his own speculated on land and economic development. Lower-class residents, on the other hand, usually occupied the more ancient structures that had been abandoned by gentrifying Yankees. When Appleton formed SPNEA and enlisted his allies, he appealed not to these occupants, but to the upper classes with whom he had always associated. As was the case with the preservation movement in Virginia, this elite defined its interests as those of the region. With the sanction of the state, the commitment of progressivism, the in dependence of private initiative, and the blessings of wealth and education, they had the authority to define what was important in the past and, implicitly, in the future.

It acknowledges that criminal damage is one of the most common and visible crimes in England and Wales. Investigations into criminal damage, arson, and heritage crime provide good examples of the multi- and interagency approach to crime reduction. The chapter discusses how buildings and sites of historic interest have some form of legal protection in the UK, citing how numerous bodies share responsibility in enforcing the legislation designed to protect heritage sites. It considers the offence of possessing an article with intent to cause criminal damage.

Abstract:
Abstract John Weever was an unexpected antiquarian. He published Ancient Funeral/ Monuments in 1631, a year before his death, without having given any previous indication of interest in the subject. Thirty years earlier, he had tried his hand at a literary career, publishing five short volumes of verse, variously satiric, erotic, and religious, around the turn of the century, and had then fallen silent. What little we know of him has been pieced together in a recent biography by Ernst Honigmann, from whom we derive a picture of a fretful, irascible Cambridge scholar of Lancashire origins, tranquillized by money from a successful marriage, who turned in middle life to the study of church antiquities. At his own expense he travelled all over England for many years, compiling a record of monumental inscriptions and a register of who is buried where. It seems to have been a solitary, self-imposed task, carried out. haphazardly, that began to acquire some method only after he gained the acquaintance of the major London antiquaries in the early 1620s. He claims our attention, however, for several reasons. His hopelessly ambitious task was characteristic of the kind of comprehensive, nation-wide survey of an antiquarian subject inspired by the example of Camden ‘s Britannia, and it was carried forward by a rather simple-minded patriotism that desired to honour the memory of worthy men and women, wherever they were buried. He brought a note of literary richness to antiquarian studies, writing often with an eloquence suitable to his subject of mortality and commemoration. Weever also exemplifies the anti quarian as consolidator: he wrote to strengthen the social fabric of the Church in England by reminding his readers that the Church, whether Catholic or Protestant, has always had a role in preserving and protecting the honourable dead of the nation, and he was motivated in part by an anxiety that this historic function was in danger of being negated by the growth of Puritan narrow mindedness which had no sympathy with the Church as a repository of accumulated social history.

Abstract:
From 1962 Lancashire, in England, became the focus of a major renewal scheme: the creation of a ‘super-city’ for 500,000 people. The last and largest New Town designated under the 1965 Act, Central Lancashire New Town (CLNT) differed from other New Towns. Although influenced by the ideals and example of Garden City model, its master plan followed new and proposed infrastructure to connect the sub-region’s poly-centricity. By unifying and expanding existing towns and settlements it aimed to generate prosperity on a sub-regional scale using the New Towns Act, rather than creating a single new self-sufficient urban development. CLNT’s scale, poly-centricity and theoretical growth made it unique compared to other new town typologies and, although not realised, its planning can be traced across Lancashire’s urban and rural landscape by communication networks and city-scale public and civic buildings. With reference to diagrams for the British New Towns of Hook, Milton Keynes and Civilia, this paper will contextualize and evaluate CLNT’s theoretical layout and its proposed expansion based on interdependent townships, districts and ‘localities’. The paper will conclude by comparing CLNT’s theoretical diagram with its proposed application and adaptation to the sub-region’s topographical physical setting.

Abstract:
Crofton pumping station houses two of the oldest working beam engines in the world; the 1812 Boulton and Watt and the 1846 Harvey. While the engines have been well looked after by Crofton’s volunteers for more than 50 years, insufficient attention may have been paid to the buildings. This paper describes the wide range of building work on site and the improved facilities which have been supported by a Heritage Lottery Grant. It details the costly work to maintain a Lancashire boiler, and the significant issues facing Crofton and similar heritage steam attractions with the future supply of coal. It also describes the innovative Mechatronics programme to understand more about the potential damage to historic engines by continuing to operate them at full load.
