Chaxrman's Report 2023/2024
As a result of the increase in enquiries our financial
balance is looking healthier. Grant aid for particular
projects and further dendrochronology research on cruck-
framed buildings is still being sought in order to increase
our data base and help us more fully understand the
arehitectural development of buildings in Wiltshire.
The publishing of books on architectural and historical
topics is on-going. Pam Slocombe continues to up-date her original
version of Traditional Farm Buildings of Wiltshire and James Holden is
close to publishing his new work on Wiltshire's major civic buildings. All
books will be printed in the same forniat as our later publications. We
will let our membership know when the new titles will be ready for sale.
The committee rnernber8, and our accountant, are largely unchanged
with the exception of Clive Carter, a stalwart contributor and former
chairman. He has stood down from the committee which he first joined
in October 200 1, and l and the rest of the committee would like this
opportunity to thank him for his dedication and hard work over the

years. All havc mai'iagc'd their pai*iLular fie.lds of iiil"ei'est with *kill and
enthu.8ia.8m. The worli of I'im Mayhew, our financial officer and Tom
Smith, our mernbership .Eccrctary has been invaluable in .8ettiiig up

I would like to thkTrnk Dor()thy 'L'i-easure and all (iur many fnr their tirne

dedicated volLlllteers the WBR would not function as well as it docs.
Special tFianks are cilso due to AIy8on Curtis aiid IA)uise ljuidy for their
consistent suppoi-t and hard worl< in the backgrouiid.
Our excellent reputation, in the field of research, recording aiid
archiving is continuing to reach outside our county. We have worked in
neighbouring Hampshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Dorset. In
financially suppoi.ting Dorothy and Alyson we have been able to meet
with other such organisers throughout the country at conferences such
as the Vernacular Architecture Group IVAGI. Next year, in April/May,
the WBR will be hosting the VAG conference in Salisbury and South
Wiltshire, based at the old theological college in Salisbury Cathedral
Close. The feathers in our cap will be longer and brighter in colourl
I hope that, in the coming year, the support by the members and
volunteers will continue and grow to keep the WBR as a relevant and
necessary organisation in our county.
Gerald Steer
Princxpal Bullding Historian's Report 2023/2024
In the past year Wiltshire Buildings Record has gone from stren to strength.
As Gerald has reported, we are proud to be hosting the spring conference for
the Vernacular Architecture Group to be based in Salisbury next year. This is a
nationally-renowned organisation with members drawn from the heritage
industry including Historic England. We have the opportunity to showcase the
best of Wiltshire's vernacular architecture next April/May. As chairman of the
VAG Rebecca Lane remai.ked - Wiltshire has an embarrassment of riches, and
that is very true. We are Still in the planning stages and considering suitable
candidates for the programme of visits over three days.

The. conferenc.e. is in addition to our very busy recording prngramme which
keeps the teain occupied. I am indebted to the WBR recording and re8earch

Publication Editor's Report 202312024
Total book sales this year were 87, a little under half of last ycar's total which
was unusually high. 'Public Buildings in Wiltshire Towns, by James Holden is
currently being set up and should shortly be published and on sale. It has
proved to be a fascinating subject and will be beautifully illustrated as were his
previous books on 'Gate Lodges, and 'Nonconforniist Chapels,.
During the year we also published 20 copies of John Collins and Jan
Flanagan's study of Old Stanley Abbey Fann and New Stanley Abbey Farm of
188 1 at Bremhill. The old farmhouse had been the Porter's Lodge of the Abbey.
This study was much more extensive than our usual reports on farmsteads and
covered the effect of the Wilts and Berks Canal on farms in that area. It also
included the history of the Fry family who spread to farms all over north
Wiltshire. It was well received and has since been reprinted.
My book 'Traditional Pann Buildings of Wiltshire,, is in progress and I hope will
be ready by the end of 2024.

The next building chosen was Rudloe Manor at Box. Here a small chamber
block remains from the medieval period with two tiers of cusped windbraces.
This dated to between 1370 and 1395, earlier than had been expected. A five-
bay cruck barn in the farmyard was slightly later, dating to between 14 1 O and
1430. It is known to have been a tithe barn for Monkton Farleigh Priory.
About half of the Vernacular Architecture Group grant has now been spent and
further sampling is planned.
Pam Slocombe
Membership Secretary's Report 2023-2024
At the end of the 2023-2024 metnbership year in March 2024, we had 68
single/family, 49 Life/Joint life/Hon and 14 paying corporate members which
in total was the same number as the previous year at the same time. The main
change has been in the number of Life members at the expense of annual
paying members.
So far in May 2024, fifteen members and just one corporate member have yet to
renew for t'he current year. Reminder letters were sent out in August 2023 to
those who had not renewed at that time with some success, as there were fewcr
non-replies this year.

Jack, 8eeonded by Nigel Walkei" and approved.
3. Chair's Report, Principal Buildlngs Hlstorlan's Report." Reports by the
Chair Gerald Steer and Principal Buildings Historian Dorothy Treasui"e had
been circulated to members previously. 1'he salient points were highlighted.
Gerald pointed out WBR carries out a very wide range of activities for such a
small organisation, and this it does with considerable skill. Its work is
i'ecognised nationally. However it was impoi-tant to recognise multiple
surveys were needed to draw in income in ol-der to continue its aetivities.
Over the last year funds had been boosted by a generous bequest and grants
which had had a positive effect. He thanked Dorothy and the Committee
and in particular Louise Purdy who was Standing down. Shc would be
continuing in her role of Buildings History Researcher, for which WBR was
grateful. Gerald had chaired the Committee for a number of years and
would soon be seeking to hand over to someone younger and more energetic.
He would hang on until a suitable person was found. Dorothy reported the
year had been very busy with commissioned work for the most part. Quieter
periods had allowed for expansion of projects, but she highlighted the need
of keeping money flowing in. She expressed gratktude to the CotnTnittee and
volunteers for their dedication. Talent is recognised and nurtured. The
reports were accepted.
4. Accounts: The Report and Accounts for lul April 2022 to 3 1st March 2023
had been circulated previously. Tim Mayhew had taken over the day-to-day
running of financial information. The position was promising, and despite
the effects of the pandemic things had begun to return to 20 18 levels. As
aiid when income rises Dorothy would benefit as she deserves. The
accounts were adopted. Proposed Nigel Walker, seconded Paul Jack.
Election of Officers: Chair Gerald Steer and Mernbership Secretary Tom
Stnith were confirmed in post. Secretary Alyson Curtis had Lompleted a
three-year term, was willing to stand again and was elected. The Treasurer's
post is contracted and Diana Miller of MC Accounting, Warminster was

confii-med in post. PruposLd by 'l'im Tatton-Brown, Seconded by Jill

well. Paul Jack reported on ihe Date.d P'eatures Project under his control.
Ovei- half of the dated fealui-es identified in Noi-th Wiltshire had been
photographcd, and the projeet would be looliing to extend inlo Ihe south of
the county.
WBR In the future: A discussion took place on the future of WBR,
including issues surrounding funding and development of projects,
consideration of suc.ces8ion planning and how WBR can best move forward
in future years. There was a need to attiact" younger people, and WBR wa8
seeking new volunteers.
io.
AOB: WBR have been invited to host the Vernacular Architecture Group's
Spring Conference in 2025 and the Committee has aeceptcd. The last time
the conference came to Wiltshire was in 1990, organised by Pam Slocombe
and held in Lackham.
The meeting closed at 1440 hrs.
After the formal business, Eric Peddle of Warminster Museum gave a fascinat'ing
talk about the history of Warminster and its built heritage. Following the talk,
refreshments were served including delicious home-made biscuits 2nd cakes, when
members and gjests had the opportunity to explore the museum and look at the
excellent artifacts on display. After tea, Dorothy Treasure led a walking tour when
we looked at a wide range of buildings about town and discussed their historic
