Section Secretary |
Historic Buildings
The aims of the section are as follows:
- To understand and study all our built heritage, parish churches,
castles, and houses, but in particular the vernacular buildings of
the period 1100-1800;
- To examine their siting, methods of construction and plan-forms,
relating these to their social context and noting alterations and developments
over the centuries;
- To record all such buildings as opportunity allows, especially those
that are under threat from redevelopment or decay; those where current
building work allows features of historic interest to be temporarily
exposed to view; or those where access to the public is not normally
possible;
- To provide house-owners and others who have an interest in and responsibility
for ancient buildings with as great a knowledge as possible of the
historic structure that concerns them, so that decisions affecting
it may be made from an informed basis of historical facts;
- Where appropriate, to become involved in campaigns to prevent unnecessary loss of our interesting houses and other buildings.
