MUSEUM REPORT |
New Chairman of the Museum Council of Management
Mr. Geoffrey Godber was elected Chairman of the Weald and
Downland Open Air Museum Council of Management at the
Annual Meeting on October 1st. He
replaces Mr. James Farmer who has been Chairman Since the Museum's
beginning.
Mr. Godber, who lives in Singleton and has been a member of the Management
Council for some years, was Clerk to the West Sussex County Council for many
years and was latterly Chief Executive before retiring in April this year.
The Museum will greatly value his considerable experience.
Friends and volunteers alike will wish to acknowledge the immense
contribution Mr. Farmer has made towards the foundation of a sound and
viable museum. He was one of the first people to give his wholehearted
support to Mr. Armstrong's proposals for the establishment of an Open Air
Museum.
Part time Assistant Research Director
I am pleased to welcome a newcomer to the part time staff
of the Museum. The Council of Management have appointed Richard Harris to
the post of Assistant Research Director.
Mr. Harris, who has been involved with the Avoncroft Museum
and trained at the Architectural Association
has followed a particular interest in vernacular architecture and will
assist Mr. Armstrong. He will be responsible for the planning of certain projects
- that require more detailed research such as Boarhunt Cottage and Sole
Street. He will also assist Mr. Amstrong in all aspects of his work for the
Museum. We look forward to a fruitful association.
Sunday Evening Talks
The Sunday evening talks arranged during the summer season
and given on a variety of vernacular architecture and local history topics
have not been at all well supported, although those people who did attend
thoroughly enjoyed them. An average of about 10 people an evening came to
the talks.
If Friends or Volunteers have any suggestions of a more suitable time for
the talks or any other points to make about the idea, perhaps they would
like to raise them at the Friends A.G.M. or write to the Museum office, so
that future programmes can be organised to ensure higher attendance.
Sending the Newsletter
On behalf of the volunteers who parcelled up the last
newsletter I would like to apologise to those people who did not receive the
additional sheets of information.
The task of parcelling up 1,500 envelopes is an arduous one and we are
always most grateful for the help we get with this job.
Pendean Farmhouse
Roger Champion has now completed the major part of his
work on Pendean. The huge chimney will now be constructed and the tile and
brick floor laid. Following this the upper floor will be completed, the
doors constructed, after which the outside paths and hedges will be
established. The building will be open to the public next season.
Watersfield Stable
The re-erection of the main frame of the stable has been
complete for some weeks. Anthony Simmons has now completed the repair of the
roof timbers which will be re-erected in the near future. It then remains to
tile the roof and weather-board the frame. It is, however, unlikely that
the wheelwrights equipment will be established in the building in time for
next season. However, during the summer we hope to complete the project.
Windpump from Pevensey
Peter Stenning has completed the rebuilding of the
windpump; the sails are now on and add a new dimension in the landscape.
Stan Waite is now working on the reconditioning of the pumps. The water will
circulate from the upper to the lower pond through a shallow ditch, which
will also double as an overflow for the upper pond.
Crawley Upper Hall
The Crawley Upper Hall, which is to be converted to become
the Museum Library on the first floor, is the next building to be undertaken
by Roger Champion. This important jettied upper hall, is to be re-erected on
the north side of the Titchfield Market Hall. To the east, with a small
twitten between, will be the Horsham shop. Both ends of the Crawley Hall are
missing and will be replaced by a very simple modern extension, covered in a
material sympathetic to the building. These will contain the stairs and
services necessary to its use , as a properly equipped modern library. The
detailed plans for this building have not yet been prepared, however plans
will be published with the next news letter. After the moving of the
workshop, mentioned elsewhere in the news letter, Mr. Champion will start
work on the repair of this building.
Lurgashall Mill and Lake Construction
During the summer the dismantling of the mill walls and
the reinstatement of the bank were completed. Geoff Kent and John Friar,
helped by student labour, worked for eight weeks on this difficult project.
Over 100 tons of stone had to be raised to the top of the dam, and loaded
onto the lorry. The mortar between the stone was in places surprisingly hard
and required careful separation from the stone. All important stones have
been marked and drawn and will be replaced in the same position from which
they came, in the same way that we dismantled timber buildings. When the
foundations of the mill were lifted it was found that the main structure had
been built on a substantial timber raft, the main beams and boards of which
survived. A quantity of bloomery slag was also found, and it is thought;
possible that the mill stood on the site of a hammer mill. Many of the well
dressed larger stones, forming part of the wheel pit, were found to have
been reset at sometime and may well come from an earlier structure.
The Museum is not in a position to conduct an excavation of the site.
However, careful drawings have been made of all that has been removed. The
remaining layers have been covered, and it would be possible for them to be
uncovered should it ever be possible for an excavation to be conducted.
Paul Simons, a final year student at the Architectural Association has
prepared the detailed drawings with which the building will be
reconstructed. Geoff Kent has also made numerous detailed notes of special
features in the stonework and has undertaken the numbering of the stones.
His next task on the project will be to sort the stones and to rebuild, and
it is hoped that Geoff and John will be able to commence this operation
before the end of the year. The foundations of the mill will be constructed
by an outside contractor. Tenders for this work were invited earlier in the
year, and R. J. Winnicott’s have been instructed to put the work in hand
during October.
From these remarks it will be realised that the Museum is about to start one
of its most ambitious projects. It is not the most important building to be
dealt with, but certainly it is going to be the most lengthy reconstruction
scheme.
As part of this scheme the completion of the lakes will now be undertaken.
The earth-moving is now complete and the next stage will be for a soft layer
of clay and sand to be spread over the whole surface of the upper lake. This
is to prevent puncture of the polythene lining which will be laid and then
covered with 12 inches of soil. Mr. Berry of Howard Humphreys & Sons has
very generously prepared a report on the stability of the embankments. This
was felt to be a necessary step before we entered into the next stage, and
Mr. Berry, a senior engineer in the field of reservoir construction, has
given us the go ahead with minor modifications. We are very grateful for Mr.
Berry's help in this matter.
The Woodlands
The woodland areas of the Museum are one of the major
amenities of the site. There are, however, a number of major problems to be
faced in these areas. In the past the management of these areas was intended
to provide good shooting and pleasant amenities. The silvicultural
considerations were far from paramount. As a result action that might have
been taken
to thin the plantation now about 120 years old, was not taken and we are now
faced with large areas of mature beech that has grown thin and tall.
Some of you will remember the result of last year's September gale that
brought down a large acreage of tall beech just to the south of the Museum,
as well as bringing down a number of trees within the Museum. The problem of
the mature beech is further exaggerated by Beech Bark Disease which has
spread through the woodland as well as further exposure to wind. Damage to
standing trees by felling and windblow cause wounds which allow the easy
entry of the fungus Nectria Coccinea. The cycle of this fungal disease is
also associated with an insect specific to beech, Cryptococcus Fagi which
damages the bark of the tree. The effect of this damage is to upset the
tree's vascular system causing the trunk to snap off at about three to five
metres, a symptom known as 'beech snap'; in other cases the beech simply
dies.
In other areas the problem faced is less dramatic but
equally serious. Many of the trees are over mature and require replacement.
This is especially true of the parkland clumps, many of which in other parts
of the estate have completely disappeared, while some on the Museum site are
in a very poor condition. In other areas we have the common problem of Dutch
Elm Disease, which requires no elaboration.
As a result of these problems a detailed report has been
prepared and an agreed plan of action will be decided upon. The intention is
to instigate a major replanting scheme starting this autumn, and to begin
the reestablishment of those areas which are in the greatest danger. It is
very important to be aware that the artificial landscape we are so used to
is not permanent, and to realise that the planting we undertake will not be
mature for us to enjoy. It will be just as essential for future generations
to take steps to change and therefore secure the woodland for the future.
Members who are interested in this matter are welcome to see the full report
in the Office at any convenient time.
Selsey Wagon Shed
Scouts from the 4th Portsmouth troop have been working on
re-erecting the frame of the early 19th century wagon shed from Selsey
dismantled by the Museum in 1974.
The Scouts, under the direction of their Group Scout Leader, Laurance Kent,
son of the Museum's master bricklayer, Geoff Kent, have undertaken the
building as one of the Coca Cola Heritage Awards for youth projects - being
run all over the country to mark the European Architectural Heritage Year.
Nine Scouts have helped with the building, sorting through the timbers,
repairing where necessary under the advice of the Museum's craftsmen, making
the oak pegs and building
brick piers on which the 8 post structure stands.
After starting the work in April this year, they have recently reared the
frame into position and begun reconstructing the roof. The Scouts will be
doing all work on the building except for the thatching, which, as a highly
exacting job
will be done by a professional firm.
The Scouts' work will be reviewed by an independent assessor who will report
to the Coca Cola Heritage Award board, who may decide to make an award for
the project.
The wagon shed, which will eventually house some of the Museum's carts will
be complete for next season and will form the third building in the small
complex at the north end of the site, joining the forge and the Watersfield
Stable.
Volunteer Projects this Winter
This Winter there will be a great need to get together
bands of volunteers to help with various maintenance and landscaping jobs on
the Museum site in preparation for the 1976 season.
High on the list of priorities is path laying and maintenance. Existing
paths need some attention and repair and some new paths in the Pendean area
of the site are planned. Volunteer help is vital to establish these routes
and so help protect the grass from erosion.
Tree planting in accordance with the Museum's new landscape management plan
will also be fast and furious this winter. The Museum wants to put into
action the contents of the plan and therefore anybody who is handy with a
spade will be most welcome.
The third task, which must be completed before winter sets in, is the
clearing and stacking of bricks belonging to the
early brick house dismantled at Lavant this year. These bricks are at
present in piles at the top of the car park but must be stacked to prevent
frost breaking them up.
Anyone who would like to help with these very necessary tasks should get in
touch with Pam West at Bognor 4030.
The Security of the Museum
During the last two years the Museum has suffered three
incidents causing damage, all occurring during the night. As members know,
the Director is now resident on site and therefore is in a position to keep
an eye on the site to some extent. However, additional steps will be taken
to improve the security. So far, we have been lucky that no major incident
has occurred. In this connection members are asked not to come to the site
after 6.00 pm. Some members enjoy a walk through the Museum in the evening;
however it is not easy to differentiate between a friend and a foe from a
distance. In addition, in the very near future, security precautions could
make such entry rather embarrassing! Camping will also only be possible to a
very limited extent. It is appreciated that this tightening up of access to
the site is regrettable, but I am sure members will understand that the
security of the exhibits is of paramount importance.
Honorary Surveyor to the Museum
In recognition of the professional services given to the
Museum since it's foundation, the Council of Management have appointed
George Newell as Honorary Surveyor to the Museum.
The survey undertaken by Mr. Newell, has been the basis for much of the
planning done by the Buildings and Sites Committee. The Council is extremely
grateful to Mr. Newell for this help.

THE AUSTRIAN OPEN AIR MUSEUM IN
STUBING, NEAR GRAZ |
Following the series of reports on Open Air Museums in Europe, we
reproduce the following paper by Professor Potter, who is Director of the
Austrian Open Air Museum, near Graz.
For centuries peasant culture with the farmhouse as its core, imprinted
itself on the face of our landscape. Economic developments, and above all
the advance of technology and industrialization, have now for decades been
taking hold of our husbandry and have led to changes which are bringing new
agricultural forms and methods in their wake. To these changes the old
peasants farmsteads, the old implements and finally also the old style of
peasant life have fallen victim irretrievably. As a result of the
recognition of this fact the first open-air museum s were constructed in
Scandinavia at the end of the nineteenth century. The oldest of these is the
"Skansen” in Stockholm. The task of these open-air museums is to transplant
examples of the old peasant architecture in their entirety into a closed
area in order to preserve them for posterity under the protection of a
museum. Side by side with this scientific task there is the pictorial task
of rendering the culture and history of the peasantry accessible to a wide
public.
The transference of those objects which are valuable from the point of view
of cultural history is effected as follows: whole farmsteads are carefully
drawn and photographed where they stand, each section of the building is
marked, and finally the farmstead is removed piece by piece. After removal
to the site of the museum and after careful and laborious restoration of
every single part the buildings are reconstructed. In order to enable
visitors to gain a complete visible impression of the old domestic culture
and methods of work all the objects, dwelling houses as well as
farm-buildings, are equipped with the requisite furniture and implements. It
is only in this way that visitors can be shown how people lived, cooked and
worked these farms.
Realization of the irresistible decay of the old peasant civilization led in
1962 to the founding of the Austrian Open Air Museum in Stübing, the task of
which was to create an open air museum for the whole of Austria. The museum
is run on the basis of an association which stands outside the sphere of
public administration. It has been possible up to the present time to
reconstruct some fifty specimens, the purpose of which is to offer visitors
a cultural cross-section of the Austrian landscape. The special feature of
the Austrian Open-Air Museum is to be sought above all in the fact that the
farms are constructed in close accord with the landscape on an estate which
is still completely isolated and unspoilt.
The Austrian Open-Air Museum has been constructed in accordance with the
contours of the museum estate and with the east-west extension of Austria.
Thus the visitor starts his tour in the most easterly province, Burgenland,
and proceeds thence via the eastern alpine provinces of Styria and Carinthia
to the Danubian area, makes acquaintance, in the alpine provinces of western
Austria, with the popular farmsteads from Salzburg and the Tyrol, and ends
his tour with the 'Bregenzerwälderhaus in Vorarlberg. In the Burgenland
group of buildings there stands a ‘Berglerhouse’ from Neustift, near Güssing.
In this small building, which is elongated and protected by a thatched roof,
there is a livingroom, a kitcben - this is the so-called open or smoke
kitchen - a bedchamber, a stall and a barn, all united under one roof. Next
to the “Berglerhouse” there stands a clock-tower from Schallendorf, near St.
Michael in Burgenland. The "Kitting” from Unterschützen is characterized by
its coating of clay; It dates from 1771 and its task was to take in
provisions. Next to the “Kitting” stands a barn from St Nikolaus, near
Güssing, which is carpentered in typical old-time native fashion. This barn
was constructed “airily” on purpose to ensure continuous airing of the
stocks of hay. Opposite the Burgenland group of buildings there stand a mill
and a pounder from Winkl-Boden in Upper Styria. Here corn was ground into
mal or linseed pounded in the stamper in order to make it subsequently into
linseed oil. A small side-valley leads to the right of the main path to a
small charcoal burners hut such as served formerly as accommodation for the
charcoal burner during his work on the charcoal pile. Behind this stands a
lumbermans hut, carpentered in genuine native fashion, from the
Bärenschützklamm, near Mixnitz. It served as a dwelling-place for the
lumbermen during their work in the woods. Directly beside the main path
there stands a peasant’s sawmill, from the Kindthalgraben in the valley of
the Murz, which affords the visitor a most impressive picture of how on
farms too, in former times, there was a knowledge of how to saw wood at home
with the simplest devices. Along the main path we now reach; by the brook on
the left, a corn mill and to the right, directly beside the path, a braker’s
hut. Here the flax was braked. Flax or linseed is the material for the
manufacture of house linen. A few steps further on there stands to the right
of the path a peasant's forge dating from 1703, which once again presents a
picture of how well the peasant, in days gone by, knew how to perform these
forge-works himself. Opposite the forge there stands a cart shed in which
various vehicles were kept. We now reach the “Sallegger Moar” group farm
from Sallegg, near Birkfeld in north-eastern Styria. This farmstead consists
of the dwelling, the principal room of which is a chimneyless room, for
which reason we also call this type of house a “smoke room house”. In the
records in the Styrian provincial archives the beginnings of this building
can be traced back to 1409. The dwelling received its present form in 1775.
This dwelling-house is surrounded by a stable
building with a watering-place for cattle, two corn-chests and a bee hut. In
front of the dwelling-house there lies a peasant’s garden, in which herbs,
flowers and vegetables were planted. This farmstead is crowned by a chapel,
which was formerly located in the Brandlucken, near Weiz, that is to say, in
the same parish as that in which the dwelling-house originated. Opposite the
group-farm there stands a wayside shrine, and the path leads past this to
the single farm (Einhof), commonly known as “Saüerling” from Einach on the
Mur in the upper valley of the Mur near the border between the provinces of
Styria and Salzburg. Here the residential quarters and the stall are united
under one roof, for which reason we also call this type of farmstead an “Einhof”.
Next to it there stands a corn-chest, and behind, on the slope, a hay-hut.
To the south of the main path, opposite the “Sallegger Moar” group-farm, we
find the vineyard house from Tieschen, near Radkersburg. It dates from 1564
and illustrates very clearly the old type of block building and board
construction. Here there is a room which served as a dwelling-place when one
was working in the vineyard. In the central section of the house there
stands a wine-press and the wine-casks were stored in two cellars. There now
follows, to the south of the main path, the Laaren farmstead from the Solk
valley, a side-valley of the Styrian valley of the Enns. This is a
"pair-farm”, which is to say, the residential quarters and the stall form a
pair, which however is supplemented by a corn-chest. The dwelling-house,
again, is a “smoke-room house”, that is to say, the main living-room of the
house is a chimneyless room. The path now leads to the Carinthian ring-farm.
We find this type of farmstead in the area of the upper Gurk and in the Nock
area of Carinthia. It is surely the most noteworthy type of a farm, from the
point of view of house building, in the province of Carinthia. To the
residential section of this farmstead there belongs a dwelling-house, again
with a “smoke-room” and a corn-chest. The Farming section is constituted by
two massive sheds grouped around the farmyard in such a way that together
with the well-hut and a stable they enclose the yard. Furthermore both sheds
are placed on the slope in such a way that one can drive into both the
threshing-floor and the room under the roof. Continuing to follow the path
we reach the square-farm
(Vierkanter) from St. Ulrich, near Steyr in Upper Austria. This is a typical
specimen of Danubian architecture. Here the residential quarters and the
farm building are grouped around the farmyard in such a way that they
surround the latter and melt into a uniform building with four wings. The
special feature of this four-square construction is a sgraffito on the
ground floor and a piece of so-called Roman Masonry in the upper storey of
the residential quarters. We now again follow the main path and reach the
Tyrolese group of buildings. On our way we pass the corn mill from Schnals
in South Tyrol. On the south side of the path there stands the Wegleithof
from St. Walburg in the Ulten valley in South Tyrol.
This farmstead is supplemented by the thatched roof barn from Voran and the
corn-chest from the valley of the Jaufen. To the north of the path stands
the Hanslerhof from Alpbach. This is a building of elaborate perfection
which is to be seen everywhere in Alpbach to this day. This Hanslerhof,
again, is a single farm (Einhof) in which the residential sections are
united under one roof. Here a small side-path leads northward past a
bathing-room, which roughly corresponds to the Finnish sauna, to a
fodderstall from Alpbach. Behind it stands an alpine hut (Almhütte) from the
Durlaboden, near Gerlos. The main path leads on westwards and brings us to
the “smoke-house’’ from Siezenheim in the province of Salzburg. The first
report on the origin of this house comes from a cadastral register dating
from 1631. The special feature of the “smoke-house” is the fact that the
smoke from the chimneyless open fireplace escaped through the clefts in the
roof. This “smoke-house” too is an “Einhof”, in which the residential and
farming sections are united under one roof. Our tour terminates at the
Bregenzer Wälderhaus from Schwarzenberg in Vorarlberg, a particularly fine
specimen of peasant domestic architecture.In recent
times this type of house has enjoyed great popularity, as it was the
birth-place of Angelika Kauffmann, the painter, and was illustrated on the
100-shilling note. Several buildings are still stored on the estate of the
Austrian Open-Air Museum, awaiting reconstruction. In about ten years time
the Austrian Open-Museum will be completed.

FRIENDS OF THE MUSEUM |
The Museum of the Year Award
It must have been deeply gratifying to all Friends and
Volunteers to learn on 13th July that the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum
had been chosen by National Heritage and The Illustrated London News as the
winner of "The Museum of the Year Award, 1975". One of the nicest features
of this award is that one year it can be given for a project costing over
one million pounds (last year's winner was Lord Montagu’s sumptuous new
Motor Museum) and the next to a scheme costing only three or four thousand
pounds.
The Award was given to the Museum specifically for the Hambrook Barn and its
Introductory Display as an exceptionally imaginative and well-designed
scheme. It will be remembered that Roger Champion repaired and re-erected
the Barn while Chris Zeuner and Roy Armstrong, with the help of a designer
and the South East Area Museums Service, devised
and executed the display. The award also reflected the judges more general
feeling that the Museum was outstanding in its service to the public.
At a most enjoyable lunch at the Vintners' Hall, Chris Zeuner received the
award from the American Ambassador in the presence of all the leading Museum
officials in the country. The Award itself if a piece of ceramic sculpture,
“Moon Head” by Henry Moore which the Museum keeps for the coming year. The
Museum also received a cheque for £2,000. The Volunteer Stewards must take
special pleasure in the award as it is their personal service to the public
which creates a unique atmosphere at the Museum, an atmosphere which
certainly influenced the judges in their final choice.
Recent Donations to the Museum
This year, the Friends have made two gifts to the Museum.
The first for £400 is to pay for the cost of removing the Museum workshops
from their present site behind Bayleaf to a new and in every way
satisfactory site in the railway cutting where buildings awaiting
re-erection are stored. The removal of the workshops will greatly improve
the surroundings of Bayleaf and help to establish the proper character of
the farmyard enclosed by the two cattle sheds.
Secondly, the Friends have given money to enable the Museum to employ an
extra craftsman; the most effective way of hastening the re-erection of more
buildings. This was done at a time when the Museum itself could not afford
extra wages despite the fact that an exceptionally useful craftsman was
available. This extra help is proving invaluable in all the brick and stone
work involved with Pendean and Lurgashall Mill.
This year the Museum has received two of the largest donations yet given to
us. First we received £5,000 from the Drapers’ Company to go towards the
erection of the Crawley Hall, the upper floor of which will provide
accommodation for a much-needed library and study centre which immediately
will house Roy Armstrong's enormous collection of slides, a unique
documentation of vernacular architecture, which he is most generously giving
to the Museum.
Secondly, we have recently received a gift of £15,000 from the Monument
Trust for the re-erection of further buildings. This money has not yet been
allocated but is likely to help with the building of Lurgashall Mill
together with part of the costs of the Crawley Hall. The Museum is deeply
grateful to both these benefactors and the money is particularly welcome at
a time when we face more ambitious and expensive projects than ever before.
Summer Party at the Museum
It is rapidly becoming a pleasant tradition for the
Friends to hold some kind of social occasion at the Museum in mid-summer. On
Saturday, 12th July, a buffet supper centred on Bayleaf which comfortably
accommodated some 200 guests. As always on such occasions, the party brought
Bayleaf to life in a memorable way, an effect heightened by the delightful
singing of the Ladyholt Singers. Wine flowed, a delicious supper was
provided by the kindness of Pam West, Diana Zeuner, Heather Jackson and
Marion Maxwell and obviously everyone very much enjoyed the occasion.
Without doubt a similar party will be organised next summer.
Craft Exhibition at the Museum
Once again, led by Mr. Sam Faranoff, The Guild of Sussex
Craftsmen mounted an exhibition of their work at the Museum in early July.
This was their third exhibition at the Museum considerably larger than the
previous ones, partly because more craftsmen are being involved and partly
as one of the exhibitions mounted to celebrate Chichester Cathedral's 900th
anniversary.
Without doubt the general quality of the exhibition greatly increased this
year.. Some outstanding craftsmen and women exhibited for the first time
bringing with them a greater variety of work of particularly high standard,
while the work of established exhibitors seemed more imaginative and
original than on previous occasions. The range of the exhibition was
extremely diverse this year with fine calligraphy and charming woodcuts
rubbing shoulders with more robust crafts such as pottery and hand-made
furniture.
The exhibition was extremely well-attended and brought a new, section of the
public to the Museum. We are most grateful to Mr. Faranoff and his fellow
craft workers and it now seems certain that the exhibition will be a regular
fixture in the Museum's calendar.
Circulation of the Members'
Magazine
With the circulation of the Members' Magazine, several
different and ever-changing address lists have to be used. Because of this a
few people receive more than one copy of the magazine. This may seem
extravagant but in fact, it would cost far more in secretarial time to
correlate all the lists than the present additional expenditure on postage.
Everything reasonable is being done to prevent duplication but it is
suggested that those people who receive extra copies might use them in
recruiting new members by passing on spare magazines to friends and
neighbours.
Distribution of the Magazine to Family and Corporate
Members
Certain family members of the Friends have suggested that
it is unfair that they only receive one copy of the magazine in return for
their subscription of £3.00, while Corporate Members paying the same
subscription receive three copies. We would ask all members to appreciate
that the production and circulation of the magazine becomes more expensive
with each issue. The Friends' Committee have considered this point and feel
that in fact, one copy is adequate for family sharing while Corporate
Members may wish to distribute the magazine among a large staff. We hope
family members will not consider this unreasonable. |
