Section C
Ob'ectives and activities
The object of the CIO is to encourage the appreciation, study and
enjoyment of history, especially that local to Shaftesbury, Dorset, and its
environs, and thereby advance the education of members of the Society
and of the public of all ages and background by, In particular but not

hours of input but also the general public is impressed by their
contribution as can be seen in our visitor comments book and comments
on-line. The public sees the stewards during their visit but there are, of

Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
Management
The Trustees held 11 committee meetings when they delivered reports on
their respective responsibilities. Sub-groups met as necessary to deal with
matters such as Collections, Archives, Library and Exhibitions,
Museum opening, shop and gardens
The museum opened on Saturday 1 April closing on 31 October. It also
opened for the town's Snowdrop Festival during February half-term and for
the last week in March as Easter was early in 2024.
The gift shop has a wide selection of souvenirs, the majority of which are
made locally, and is a good source of income. Because we do not charge
for entry, we rely on the generosity of our visitors who normally numbered
20,000 per annum pre-pandemic closedown,. at 18,600 this season,
numbers are slowly recovering. Shop purchases and donations provide a
large part of our income.
Our one gardener, with occasional help from two others, has continued to
work steadily and reliably throughout the year, for which many thanks. The
garden received a Certificate of Excellence from Britain in Bloom, South
and South East.
The Collection
The collection team are continuing with the task of registering all
artefacts that are in the museum storeroom to ensure that the correct
pape￿Ork is up to date. They are also making sure that this Corresponds
with the Modes entry and if not entered that this is done. The aim is also
to load on modes photos of all artefacts. This is the long-term aim and will
take time
During the period covered by this report the following items have been
gifted to the Museum..
1 A John Farris Cheese Press. This is quite a large piece of machinery
consisting of metal castings on a wooden frame. This is on permanent
display in room two
2 A pair of replica Patten wooden over shoes
3 An Icosahedron. This is a small metal object used for writing hand bell
ringing music.
Display
In 2022 for the 200 anniversary of the sale of Fonthill Abbey, near
Shaftesbury, in 1822-23, Gold Hill Museum hosted an exhibition in our
small exhibition room, to be called 'Fonthill Fever,. Using sale catalogues,
guide books, prints and souvenirs plus a model of the Abbey, it showed
how the Fonthill sales gripped the public imagination. We left this display
up for 2023 to cover both years of the sale.
We also mounted a small, new exhibition about the Vikings and their
connection with Shaftesbury. For this we used replica costume, jewellery
and artefacts with information boards and posters about how they lived,
the food they ate, the games they played and what the interior of their
houses may have looked like as well as a timeline to show how they related
to our town.
In 2023 the museum purchased two new display cases so the old cases
were emptied, and the artefacts stored until they could be moved into their
new homes. This also gave us an opportunity to refresh the displays.

Section D
Achievements and performance
The LibrarylArchive
The archives team of 12 volunteers has continued to sort, catalogue and
conserve the collection and enter new items, received as donations. They
have dealt with many enquiries via the museum website and through
prearranged visits by researchers.
Having carried out an audit of the Brenda Innes archive, team members
have devoted much of their time integrating the material into the existing
collection. The archive of the business and personal records of the Harding
family of plumbers in the High Street has been of particular interest. The
two small filing cabinets purchased last year are now dedicated to material
about the town of Shaftesbury, arranged by street name.
Gaps in the book collection have been filled with the acquisition of essential
journals and books, most recently the two volumes of the Victoria History
of the County of Dorset. The library catalogue now contains 1617 records,
most of which now include keywords taken from the contents.
The Librarian has received training via Zoom on a range of topics..
Preservation of Photographic Materials, Copyright Essentials, Collections
Care Surgery x 3. Training sessions on the Modes cataloguing system are
now recorded and are available online to our volunteers. The Modes Day
& AGM provided information about future upgrades to the system,
including an online version. Many Modes members voiced the opinion that
the system needed to be more intuitive and simpler to use.
Monitoring of the atmospheric conditions in the library has continued.
Humidity levels are now satisfactory following the installation of a
dehumidifier. Although the temperatures in the library do not vary greatly,
they are generally too high for sensitive items such as photographs and
books. It also makes a difficult working environment for the volunteers,
particularly in the summer. The purchase of an air conditioner is now in
progress.
In October the 400 Tyler glass negatives previously digitized were taken
to the Dorset History Centre for storage. A request was also made to view
the sixteen boxes of documents that the museum lefl with the Centre in
2003, when storage facilities here were limited. The resulting impression
was thal an important part of the museum's collection is at present in
Dorchester. Unfortunately, the staff at the Centre were unable to locate
one box of photographs. The whereabouts of this box is being investigated.
Temporary archive exhibitions have been mounted about schools in
Shaftesbury (Christy's, the Grammar School, the Girls High School and
King Alfred's Middle School). Tea & Talks provided an opportunity to show
SHDS members some of the work of early Shaftesbury photographers
from the collection.
Membership
Membership at the end of March 2024 was around 130.
Magazine
The Society's annual newsletter was the biggest yet and received much
praise. However, the weight of it meant that the postage cost for the 31
members who do not live in the immediate are2 was considerable.
Information Technology.
Andy Hargreaves, a local IT expert, continues to lend support pro bono.

Section D
Achievements and performance
Outreach
Regular, well-attended reminiscence sessions were held at the town
library.
The Lecture and Events Programme
The Summer Outing in June, a guided tour on foot of the architectural
curios of Swanage recycled from the City of London, benefitted from
glorious weather and the meticulous preparation undertaken by its
volunteer leaders. The insights provided by the Society's President and a
fomier City colleague left the 25 participants viewing "Little London by the
sea" in an entirely new light.
The Teulon Porter Memorial Lecture in October was also an outstanding
Suc￿ss. An audience upwards of 110, more than half of whom were non-
members, packed the Guild Hall to hear Professor James G. Clark of
Exeter University overturn many conventional explanations of the
Dissolution of the Monasteries in the South-west. Such was James's
generosity that he then wrote a summary article for inclusion in the
Society's latest Byzant magazine.
All the remaining guest speakers in the programme were equally expert in
their fields and adept at communicating their ideas to appreciative and
substantial audiences. Dr Vivien Newman shed new light on the impact on
children of the 1914-18 War. Professor Colin Divall took the romanticism
of steam out of the story of the Beeching era closure of the Somerset &
Dorset Railway. Dr Amy Frost once again radiated enthusiasm for the
redevelopment of Beckford's Tower and Museum, and for a modern
retelling of the Beckford story. Professor Maria Hayward of Southampton
University brought Queen Catherine of Braganza out of the shadow of her
philandering husband King Charles11, whose escape through the southern
counties after the 1651 Battle of Worcester had been the subject of a lively
lecture in April 2023 by Paul Cordle.
The revival of Tea and Talks in February 2024 was also an unqualified
success. Four members contributed a fund of new knowledge on three
subjects. ranging over Shaftesbury photographer Elizabeth Upfield, the
historical importance of local sheep farming, and Shaftesbury Abbey's
farmhouses in the Nadder Valley. Their well-prepared presentations were
followed by tea and cake.
The Buildings
Kitchen ceiling water ingress.. a builder carried oul investigative work in
April to try and isolate the source of the ingress. Poor workmanship was
exposed, which most likely led to the continual ingress of water over the
12 years since the garden room was constructed. The builder produced a
report in which he proposed extensive work including repair and
rectification to remedy the problem. The work progressed through the
summer and in September a plasterer completed the re-rendering to the
exterior wall and internal plastering.
Secondary glazing: was installed to the windows to the office and Byzant
room.
Garden Room fascia board" the wooden fascia board around the outside
of the Garden Room had rotted at one point and was in poor condition
needing re-painting and repair. Replacing or covering with UPVC cladding
was recommended and, due to the buildings Grade 11 listed status, an
application for planning consent had been submitted to the local authority
in February 2023. Following a site meeting in May, permission to proceed

was received from the Dorset Planning Department in July The work was
completed in September.
Sun & Moon Cottage,. there has been an ongoing problem with the ingregs
of rainwater via the top of the existing entrance door, sometimes dripping
onto people as they enter, and causing damage to the floor tiles at the
entrance. In an effort to remedy this problem, a clear plastic canopylawning
was fitted above the entrance door.
Gutters: they were satisfactorily cleared in November.
Sun & Moon Cottage project.. during 2023, it was decided to create an
access from the museum into Sun & Moon Cottage, and to utilise the
cottage as a new shop, office and additional artefact storage area. A firm
of local Archrtects were instructed and, in January 2024, planning consent
for the project was granted. Currently out to tender, we hope that the work
will be Gompleted by the end of 2024.
Air conditioning: following the unsatisfactory performance of the previous
engineers, an alternative air conditioning company from Blandford
satisfactorily serviced our air conditioning system in February.
Ground Floors.. floors of reception and rooms 1 & 2 were re-painted prior
to the March re-opening date.
Fire Risk Assessment: in February a survey of the building and its existing
fire safety arrangements was carried out by a suitably qualified Fire Safety
Consultant. His report and recommendations were received on 8 March
and, as a result, appropriate action is being taken.
Marketing and Communications
The Gold Hill Museum website continues to be the main engine of publicity
for Society activities, supported by the invaluable output of Shaftesbury's
own radio station Alfred. Interviews with several of the speakers from the
lecture series were broadcast, and the Society's trustees were well
represented on the regular Hilltop History programme. Nineteen
comprehensively illustrated and researched News Blogs were posted
during the year, with links to the Society's Facebook page. Here it is also
possible to share relevant posts from similar organisations, including
Alfred. A typical total of unique visitors to the website remains 1200 a
month, an average of 40 per day, with nearly 70 page views per day, but
there are variable peaks and troughs. A News Blog anticipating the
opening of the 2023 season with a temporary archival exhibition about a
public-spirited local family attracted 110 hits the day after posting. On
Facebook this reached 371 viewers, with an engagement level of 119. A
post flagging the impending closure of this display, but with all-new content
in the blog, reached nearly as many (348) and achieved even more
engagement {133). The outright top scorer on Facebook (411) was a post
linked to a News Blog anticipating the Teulon Porter Memorial Lecture on
The Dissolution of the Monasteries in the South-west. The proportion of
new visitors to the website is consistently around 97% with the vast
majority from the UK. The Facebook page has received 780 likes and is
followed by over 820, an increase of more than 25 % on last year.
The content of the permanent pages on the website is regularly refreshed
and augmented. The Collection page contains a growing mosaic of images
and is always high in the Top Ten, along with Facilities for Visitors and Find
Us. Also enjoying persistent popularity are Four Hundred Years of Dorset
Buttons and Thomas Hardy and Shaftesbury. The main landing area ofthe
Home page and each blog are well-served with links to other informative
parts of the website.

Section D
Achievements and performance
A presence and link on the Beckford Society website attracted hits from
those with a specialist interest in the Fonthill Fever exhibition, retained for
a second season. The bi-centenary of the September 1823 public auction
and its Gontroversies was duly marked with a detailed blog. The Society
renewed its silver package for a page on the Visit Dorset website, which
incorporates feeds from TripAdvisor (generally very positive) and
Facebook, and our own promotional video.
The "Shaftesbury Remembers. website now includes the biographical
details of 1620 individuals from the local area who served in the First World
War. Over the past year the main task has been the revision of existing
entries as new information has become available, particularly from the
1921 Census. 40 % have now been checked and adjusted. This S&DHS
site offers a fund of information about all aspects of Life in and around
Shaftesbury during the era of the Great War, and continues to attract
regular email correspondence from family descendants seeking or offering
updated information. There are also frequent compliments about the value
of the information contained in the database. Some of it was used in the
writing of the new Gold Hill Museum Guide, the preparation of which by
small team of volunteers was described in last year's Annual Report. The
32-page, full-colour booklet was duly published in May 2023, and became
a popular best seller in the Museum Shop. The key figure in the production
team, photographer and graphic designer Alan Booth was rightly
nominated for a Dorset Museums Volunteer of the Year Award.
Gold Hill Museum continues to be publicised in a tourist leaflet published
jointly with the Abbey Museum and Gardens, in a Museums Trail leaflet
featuring several North Dorset museums, and in a Town Guide map sold
at the Tourist Information Hub installed inside the Morrisons Daily
Supermarket.
A glossy 48-page edition of the Society's annual magazine, the Byzant,
was published in November 2023 and circulated to members. It included
report from the Chairman, minutes of the 2023 AGM, and a number of well
researched and illustrated articles. Apart from a summary of the Teulon
Porter Lecture generously provided by Professor Clark, there were
substantial pieces on Discovering the Peach Family," a New Museum
Guide," A Dynasty of Shaftesbury Clockmakers,. The Alfred Jewel," and Who
Let the Bloodhounds Out? All previous copies of the Byzant sin
December 2014 are available for reference on the Gold Hill Museum
website.
Museum volunteers took their presentation on Albert Tyler's Edwardian
Shaftesbury photographs to St John's church hall, Enmore Green and the
Rotary Club. A new talk, featuring Tyler's Edwardian Villages was
presented as part of Shaftesbury Library's Local History Month and
repeated at the Royal British Legion, St John's Enmore Green and the
Rotary Club.
They have also held ten monthly Reminiscence Afternoons at Shaftesbury
Library this year, on a variety of topics, the most popular being
Photography, which had to be repeated due to the large number of
contributions.

Financial review
The annual fixed costs (rates, insurance, utilities, maintenance contracts)
of running the Museum are in the region of £10,000. If the Museum must
close for any reason we still have these bills to pay with the additional
con￿rn of the proposed increase in fuel prices and its knock-on effect.
The lift is necessary for enabling full access and would be expensive to
replace. Substantial repairs to the fabric of the building may be needed at
some time in the future. The Trustees have estimated a figure of 50/0 of the
rebuild value
lus £10,000 annual fixed costs as the contin
enc
reserve.

Further financial review details (Optional information)
The Museum has no loans and none of the Museum's assets (building
and collection) is used as collateral. The Museum has just one site which
is owned by the Society and the accounts cover all financial activity at
that site.
Our investment policy is based on the principle of caution using a deposit
account and a Charifund investment at present.
The Trustees thank all our donors, including our members, the general
public and local businesses and groups, for their generosity. We also
thank those local and regional businesses which offer concessional rates,
and those businesses who turn up at short notice to help us out in
an emergency.

We plan to open on Saturday 1 April for a normal season.
The library and archives department has mounted an exhibition of the Peach family (shop owners in
Shaftesbury and Gillingham) using the display unit now opposite the First-Floor lift entrance. The unit was
kindly offered by the Abbey Museum who no longer required it. This area will be an excellent opportunity for
the department to display material from its collection.
Due to the popularity of the Fonthill Abbey exhibition we are planning to keep it for another year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SHAFTESBURY & DISTRICT HISTORICAL SOCIETY
CIO
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
AS SET OUT ON PAGES 15 & 16
Respective
responsibilities of
trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The
charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under
section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent
examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to".
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 201 l Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Chariiy Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent
examiner's statcment
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Dircctions given
by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the
accounting reL'ords kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from ihe
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently
no opinion is gyiven as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view
and the rcport is limited to those matters set out in the ststement below.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which
gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the
requiremenls:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act.
and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requircments of the Act
have noi been met. or
Independent
examiner's statement
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be rcached.
