The Museum houses the Netherhall Collection, on loan from the family of Mr J Scott Plummer. This is the finest collection of Roman sculpture and inscriptions from a single site in Britain. Mr Scott Plummer was a lineal descendant of John Senhouse, who established the collection at Netherhall before 1599. The Museum is located next to the site of the Roman fort, which forms part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site (WHS), a trans-national World Heritage Site containing Hadrian’s Wall, the Antonine Wall and the upper German frontier, the _Limes_ . The Trust works closely with a number of organisations with related objectives, including Historic England, Cultura Trust, Museums Development North West, Arts Council England, Cumbria Tourism, Cumbria CVS, the Cumbria Museum Directors Group, Cumbria Museums Consortium, the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Grampus Heritage and Training, the Hadrian’s Wall Learning and Interpretation Group, Maryport Cultural Consortium, Cumbria Arts and Culture Network and the cultural services of Cumberland Council. 3 ## **Risk management** The major risks to which the Trust is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate these risks. ## **Responsibilities of the Trustees for the Annual Report and Accounts** The Trustees’ duty of public accountability and stewardship requires that they: keep proper accounting records of the transactions in each fund within the charity present Annual Accounts which disclose a proper appreciation of the charity’s financial transactions during the year, and which give a true and fair view of the charity’s funds at the end of the year. provide the Annual Report which contains information on the objects and constitution of the charity, and which describes its activities and future plans. ## **B.

In addition the Trustees met on 19 July 2023 for a workshop to progress the proposed development of the museum and adjacent site. Linda Radcliffe and Prof. Maureen Fordham retired as Trustees due to pressure of work. All remaining Trustees expressed their appreciation and gratitude for the hard work and diligence both had contributed during their time as Trustees. The Trustees are continuing to explore recruitment of a diverse and robust board of Trustees. Charles Scott Plummer continues as the representative of the Scott Plummer family regarding the Netherhall Collection. He attends meetings of the Trust whenever his commitments allow. Arts Council England Museum Accreditation (Full) continues to be maintained. The Safeguarding, Health & Safety and the Environmental Sustainability Policies were reviewed and approved. An additional Equity, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy was produced. The Manager continues to report weekly by telephone to the Chairman of Trustees as her line manager. A written report is circulated to all Trustees in advance of Trustee meetings. 4 ## **C. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES** There were 8156 visits to the Museum during the year (2022-23: 8,436). The Museum continues to offer free entry to residents within the CA15 postcode area. Trustees continued to liaise with Cultura Trust as owners of Camp Farm (the site of Maryport Roman fort and civilian settlement) in line with the **Memorandum of Understanding** . Cultura Trust continues to grant the Trust permission to use the fort field for volunteer-led tours and group visits. A project steering group for the museum development (working title Reimagining Roman Maryport) continues to meet monthly. The steering group includes three Trustees, the Museum Manager, Graham Bell (Cultura Trust) and two Cumberland Council officers from the Maryport Regeneration Team. The project is a collaboration between the Trust and Cultura Trust (the owner of Camp Farm) and aims to develop the museum and adjacent Roman site into a joint attraction. The project submitted a successful Expression of Interest to the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal. 2023-24 activity focused on developing architectural designs for the refurbishment and extension of the museum and developing a Green Book compliant Business Case for the project. This work will continue into 2024-25. The Trust submitted a successful grant application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The grant will support a programme of community engagement and consultation, audience research, business planning, governance review and evaluation, which is on-going into 2024-25. Crosby Granger Architects (Kendal) were appointed to develop an architectural design for the development of the museum building. The work will be funded by the Trust. The VAQAS accreditation continues to be maintained by annual ‘mystery shops’ by Visit England assessors. The assessment scheduled in May 2023 resulted in a continuing increase of the overall score. The Manager represents the museum on the Hadrian’s Wall Marketing and Transport Group and with Cumbria Tourism. ## _**Permanent Collection and Displays**_ The museum continues to offer an identification service for archaeological material found by the local community. The Portable Antiquities Scheme’s Finds Liaison Officer for North Lancashire and Cumbria continues to carry out finds identification days in the museum. He visited the museum to identify and record finds brought in by members of the public in April, June, October, December and February. A small group of volunteers continued to work through the collection documentation backlog. Accessioning of the finds from the 2013 - 2014 excavation of the civilian settlement by Oxford Archaeology North continues and was approximately 90% 5 completed at the end of March. Digitising of the accession records relating to these and other excavation continued in 2023-24. A review of the collection security review was carried out and a full inventory of the collections initiated. Two PhD students visited to study the reserve collection: one studying Roman military altars and inscriptions and one studying Roman ceramic flue tiles. New finds accessioned into the collections include a whithy splitter from Beckfoot and a framed pencil drawing of Philip Nelson by George Senhouse. The later featured in the 1997 publication _Roman Maryport and its Setting_ and at that times was believed lost. The Manager represents the museum on the Hadrian's Wall Curators Group and the Hadrian's Wall Learning and Interpretation Delivery Group. Both groups continued to meet virtually. ## _**The Battery**_ Remedial work on the museum was carried out to upgrade the fire alarm system. ## _**Exhibitions, events and visits**_ The Arts and Literature Festival continued into May 2023 with a series of creative writing and art workshops in the museum. Easter was the beginning of the summer season and young visitors were offered an Easter Egg Hunt and Easter themed family craft activities. Slow Art Day took place on 15 April, when visitors and virtual audiences were encouraged to slow down and engage with objects in the collection in more depth. Family-friendly events were scheduled during the school holidays including halfterms. These included themed treasure hunts and craft drop-ins. The Summer Festival included a series of living history days led by live interpretation specialists including a Roman potter, a Roman soldier (Pottery and Pilums) and a group demonstrating Roman life and food. From the beginning of Easter to the end of October volunteers led guided tours of the fort every weekend. 104 museum visitors benefited from the guided tours, including 52 visiting as part of pre-booked special-interest groups. On the weekend of 10 - 11 August staff and volunteers manned a stall at Maryport's Taste of the Sea Festival. The team were joined by Ancient Britain, a living history group who delivered sessions on Roman food and life. This enabled the team to promote the museum, its services and expand its learning outreach programme. 6 During the October half-term the museum joined with other venues in Maryport for the inaugural ‘Scaryport’ festival. This was a family-friendly week-long event that celebrated this tongue-in-cheek name for Maryport. The Museum was open to the public for additional days between Christmas and New Year (27 - 31 December). The annual Arts and Literature Festival launched over the weekend of 1 to 3 March. The festival theme was ‘Life on the Edge’ and was funded by an Arts Council England Project Grant. This grant enabled the festival to expand its programme and increase the number and reach of the creative writing and art workshops. For the first time the festival included outreach workshops (creative writing, art and photography) in community venues in Maryport and the Solway Coast. ## _**Education**_ A total of 353 school pupils from 15 schools visited the museum. In addition, the learning team delivered several outreach visits in schools and adult informal learning settings. These included local women’s groups and local history groups. The museum continues to maintain its Arts Award Centre registration with three Arts Award advisers. The advisors support young people to carry out Arts Award projects from Discover to Gold. The outreach team attended the Ewanrigg Coronation Fun Day on 7 May. Activities included ‘dress like a Roman’ and make and take-away your own Roman cavalry pendant. During May and June the museum hosted a group of local people taking part in a reminiscence / local history / drama project called Audio Adventures. The participants shared their experiences of living and working in Maryport, created their own scripts and delivered a promenade performance around the town. In July the museum hosted a photogrammetry workshop in collaboration with Cultura Trust. A group of nine created a virtual 3D model of the Battery. The Museum was visited by the following groups: Grampus Heritage and Training, Scholarly Sojourns, a group of Germany Heritage Studies students, Historizon (from Netherlands), Northern Secrets, Maryport Beavers and Maryport Guides. Some of the groups included a tour of the fort as part of their visit. The Sociable Reading Group continues to meet in the museum. Maryport & District Natural History Society disbanded and stopped meeting in the museum due to lack of membership. 7 The Maryport branch of the Young Archaeologists’ Club continues to meet in the museum, supported by the Museum Manager and three volunteer leaders. This year the group structured their meetings around the principles of archaeological research methods. Work placements continue in partnership with Netherhall School with a 6[th] form student and a GCSE student spending a week in the museum discovering the variety of work that is carried out in museums. The museum continued a project in collaboration with Cultura Trust and Netherhall School that aimed to understand the archaeology and land management of Milefortlet 23, situated on the adjacent fields of Camp Farm. A group of students from Netherhall School joined the Community Engagement Officer for Cultura Trust and the Museum Manager for a series of sessions that explored the site of the Milefortlet and the nearby Milefortlet 21. The Manager represented the museum in meetings with the Hadrian’s Wall Learning and Engagement Forum, Hadrian’s Wall Learning and Interpretation Delivery Group and Cumbria Arts and Culture Network. ## _**Research**_ The report of the 2011-15 excavation directed by Newcastle University and funded by the Trustees was reduced to cost price to support access to research. The sculpted stone in the collection was surveyed by Lindsay Allason-Jones for inclusion in the _Corpus Signorum Imperii Romani: The Hinterland of Hadrian’s Wall and Derbyshire_ (Corpus of Sculpture of the Roman World). ## **D. MANAGEMENT AND FINANCE** ## _**Management and Staffing**_ Jane Laskey continues as Museum Manager, assisted by Museum Assistants Tim Okins and Vanessa O’Donnell, and a group of enthusiastic and committed volunteers. The volunteers focused on providing the guided tours of the fort, supporting events, leading school visits, grounds maintenance, outreach and documenting the collection. Staff and volunteers attended a series of in-house training sessions covering customer care, collection care and documentation, tour guiding, safeguarding and equality and diversity. The Manager attended in-person and virtual training workshops provided by several organisations including the Association for Independent Museums, Museums Development North-West, Collections Trust and Cumbria CVS. Training included 8 managing volunteers, collection documentation, accessible collections and audience development. The museum continued to benefit from a county-wide volunteer development programme led by the Cumbria Museum Consortium (Tullie House, Wordsworth Grasmere and Lakeland Arts). The programme aims to promote the volunteering opportunities in museums to the communities served by the museum and support recruitment and training of new volunteers. Two volunteers were recruited for the museum as part of this programme. The Museum has a group of 18 volunteers. The volunteers contributed 1528 hours of their time to the Museum’s activities. The Trustees are grateful for all the hard work and enthusiasm she contributed towards supporting the volunteer team. ## _**Finance to year end 31 March 2024**_ ## **Operations and Development** Operating costs amounted to £102,455 (£105,320) for Museum Operations and Publications.
