Gerald Steer Senior Archivist: Ally Mcconnell Senior Archivist emeritus.. John d'Arcy Presldent: Pamela Slocombe FSA Chairman's Report 202412025 As members may recall, the WBR was asked by the national Vernacular Architecture Group (VAGI to organise their annual, three-day, conference, based in south Wiltshire. We accepted the challenge, as it is a fine feather in our cap, but it entailed a lot of planning. To ensure that the basic work for the WBR continued as smoothly as possible a dedicated sub-committee was Set up to manage this task. The members - Alyson Curtis, Tim Mayhew, Paul Jack and Kathryn Edwards - delivered a high-quality event to 60 national high-profile delegates. We are rightly proud of our architectural heritage in Wiltshire and did our best to showcase it. The conference was based at SaThm College, in what is arguably the most beautiful Cathedral Close in the country. During the conference we were blessed by fme and sunny weather, which added to the ambience. Over the three days delegates toured a number of interesting buildings including, on the first day, Place Farm in Tisbury, whkch originated from the monastic grange of Shaftesbury Abbey and has one of the largest barns in England. The sccond day of visits included The Chantry, Mere, an almost complete medieval building orlginally housing the parish priests and later on the home to William Barnes, the Dorset poet. Other visits included perhaps the not 80 well-known floor tnaltings in Warminster, remodelled in 1879 and Still processing malt in the
same way. The last day of the conference explored Salisbury itself - our glorious medieval city with its own gated community of ecclesiastical dwellings in The Close dating from the 13th century onwards. We were fortunate to receive a grant from the VAG to cover dendrochronology Itree-ring dating). This allowed us to take samples from four key buildings which the conference visited. The results have brought new insights into the date of their construction and evolution. The results were.. Prezzo 52-54 High Street, Salisbury dated to 1363. Foyer ol the Odeon, New Canal, Salisbury dated to 1459. Oriel Cottage, 91 Castle Street, Salisbury, dated between 1456- 75. Timber Cottage, Croekerton, L£>ngbridg¢ Deverill dated between 1503-1528. Our President Pam Slocombe made a visit to the conference where she met with some of the delegates who have worked with her over mgny years. Some fondly remember attending the last VAG conference to be held in Wiltshire in 1990, which was needless to say expertly organised virtually single-handedly by Pam. As part of the VAG brief the sub-committee produced a H8ndbook for delegates that explained and illustrated the buildings visited and gave brief histories of the localities. A lot of work went it to it resulttng in a high qugjityj professional- looking document greatly appreciated by 8Jl the delegates. The conference was a huge success and thanks go to everyone associated with it, particularly the core team headed up by Alyson Curti8 who made sure everyone was on track. Whilst all of the above was being undert8Jien, Dorothy Treasure, WEJO was also part of the orggnising sub-committee, continued managing the core tasks of WBR - survey work lecturing, assisting the public in their research and generally helping the other specialists at The History Centre. As Dorothy performed her valuable tasks, so did membership secretary To Smith. He has kept the member lists up-to-date, end diligently chased up non- paid subscriptions. Deputy chair, Nigel Walker has ajso been Called in to help on detailed aspects of the management of the committee. I would also like to thank our principal researcher Louise Purdy, who has consistently provided exceptional historical information to support commissioned reports. I am pleased to report that our financial situation remains reasonably buoyant. This has allowed us to continue to add to our knowledge and expand our archive of the fascinating stocks of Wiltshire's buildings. Gerald Steer RIBA
