This is a watershed year for Compton Verney,

and we couldn’t be more excited. With our

10th anniversary exhibition, Moore Rodin, off to a

flying start, our Re-Viewing the Landscape project well underway, thanks to a Heritage Lottery Fund

development grant, and a birthday party in the

planning, it is an exciting time to visit, re-visit,

volunteer and support.

Installing 11 magnificent and sizeable pieces of

sculpture in the landscape in just over a week was

always going to be a challenge. Given saturated

ground and torrential rain storms, it became even

more fun. We are deeply grateful to our Grounds

Team, MTEC and the Henry Moore Foundation

staff for their intrepid efforts, which have had such

splendid results.

What a year for Compton Verney

That is not to say that other aspects of the

installation were not equally tricky. Through the

talents of Curator Penelope Sexton and Gallery

Technician John Crossley, and the in-kind paint

supplied by Farrow and Ball, however, we are

confident the galleries have seldom looked better.

This edition of Inside Compton Verney brings you

stories of the beasts, bugs and birds that were

thriving in our landscape long before we became

an art gallery, and new developments that ensure

that the art we display here continues to be of the

very highest standard and presented in a world-

class setting. Don’t forget that when you see

something underlined, you can link through to

more information. Thank you for your continued

support!

Why not consider leaving us a legacy? Just 1% of

the sale of your home can make a huge difference.

The Creatures Among Us: Flora and Fauna at Compton Verney

Our landscape has been under constant

management for many centuries, from

Compton Murdak to Compton Verney.

The most enduring form, however, is

the ‘natural’ landscaping completed by

Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown from 1768.

Naturally, a desire to utilise and make the grounds

attractive for our visitors is strong, although we

tread a fine line in respect of the delicate ecology

of the site, which has been understood through a

range of surveys completed over the last twenty

years. As a long-established estate, Compton

Verney features many elements that are being

nurtured, protected and where possible enhanced.

As the initial restoration phase and planting settles

down, so do the grounds, which have developed

a richer fabric and character.

General site information:

Local Wildlife Site - In 2013 we were

awarded Local Wildlife Site status following

a long running ecological survey, and we

are now developing a new working

relationship with the Warwickshire Wildlife

Trust. In addition to bees, bats and a well-

established badger set, we hope to support

our barn owls, hedgehogs and otters

Parkland - Managed under Natural

England’s Higher Level Stewardship

programme, this has been returned to

pasture and, as with our West Lawn, sown

with wildflowers. New trees have also been

planted in historically correct locations

Woodland - We have several areas of

woodland on site which are being enjoyed

by students and families alike through our

popular Forest School

Lake - This key landscape feature supports

a range of fish, aquatic plants and wildlife

and the reed beds provide nesting

opportunities for our Great Crested Grebes

and other fowl

Lawns - Our West Lawn and other areas are

managed for wildflowers, which attract a

large range of insects

Page 5: Spring 2014 Inside Compton Verney

Award - Compton Verney sponsors a

Conservation Award for students at nearby

Moreton Morrell, part of Warwickshire

College. We have also worked alongside

students on planting projects in the grounds

and the college helps manage the parkland

with stock and mowing

Aspirations

As a team we aim to nurture all of the existing

elements of the estate whilst providing the environment for appropriate flora and fauna to

flourish. Our activity, whilst primarily producing a

protected and accessible site, provides much

opportunity to improve the content in favour of

flora and fauna – a subject that is very dear to us.

With our new landscape restoration project

underway, some of the opportunities we’ll be

exploring include:

Bird/badger viewing hides – One bird

hide has been established and there are

many other locations that could support

wildlife viewing hides

Wildlife cameras – Cameras of all kinds

could offer valuable interpretation material on badgers, bats and many other species

Nest boxes – We have recently installed

two barn owl boxes in the Ice House

Coppice and a wider range of feeding

station equipment would be ideal

Habitat creation – Planting and features

to support water voles, nesting and possibly

otters are in the planning stages

Woodland management – A section of

unused woodland could be restored to

demonstrate this ancient skill

Walks and talks – These are always

popular and, with a growing band of

volunteers, could become more frequent.

Compton Verney’s Chinese gallery

contains one of the top three collections

of Chinese bronzes in Europe. The

collection is designated as being of

national and international importance,

and consists of over 100 objects

spanning over 3,000 years, dating from

the Neolithic period to the Qing Dynasty.

Crafts, especially pottery making and jade carving,

reached a very high level in Neolithic China, but it is

the bronze vessels of the second and first

millennium BC that have made the most distinctive

impact in the history of world art, and their cultural

significance cannot be overestimated. Bronzes were

to the East what sculpture was to the West.

The vessels in this collection were produced over a

period of over 1500 years under many different

Chinese rulers, and date from the early Shang

Dynasty (about 1700 to 1050 BC) to the Han

Dynasty (206 BC to AD 220). The collection also

includes pottery pieces, such as a set of twelve

painted pottery equestrian figures made for placing

in a tomb to guard the deceased.

When the Chinese galleries were opened in 2004,

the aesthetic value of the objects was presented

beautifully, but visitors have told us that the current

Redisplaying our

Chinese Treasures

level of interpretation fails to enable them to fully

appreciate the significance, social and historical

context, purpose and production of the

collection. Additionally, gallery staff have noticed

that the layout, colour and lighting of the gallery

fails to attract many visitors’ interest. We are

delighted to announce that £190,000 has

recently been granted by the DCMS/Wolfson

Fund and the Arts Council’s Designation

Development Fund to enable us to make this

stunning collection more accessible and

engaging. It will:

Highlight the importance of the bronzes,

particularly in relationship to Western art

and culture

Improve the interpretation of the galleries

by drawing out themes related to the

history, manufacture and purpose of the

bronzes

Improve the lighting and display of the

objects so that their beauty, intricacy and

imagery can be fully appreciated

Produce a new printed guide to accompany

the re-display

Ensure that the entire collection is made

more accessible to all visitors, including

disabled visitors and children

The re-display will take place between December

2014 and March 2015, when Compton Verney is

closed to the public. The collection will be re-

launched when we re-open in March 2015.

Telling Tales: Science and Art Combine

7

The Beecroft Trust for Science and Education has

a tradition of supporting outstanding projects

that include the Beecroft Institute of Particle

Astrophysics and Cosmology at Oxford University and the Royal Academy Science Book

Prize. Founders Adrian and Jacqui Beecroft also

have a life-long interest in art and artists.

Joining these interests together, the Trust's

support for the forthcoming Periodic Tales

exhibition is not only a

g r o u n d b r e a k i n g

phi lanthropic g i f t for Compton Verney, it also fits

with the Trust’s desire to

promote science as interesting

and creative.

“We have been very

impressed with the way that

Compton Verney has become

such an important part of

the local community,” says

Adrian Beecroft. “This

exhibition meets all the

objectives of our Trust and

we are delighted to be able

to support it.”

Curated with Hugh Aldersey-Williams, author of

the best-selling book Periodic Tales, the exhibition

brings together artworks from collections across

the UK to explore the cultural significance of the

chemical elements.

The elements have always inspired artists. They are the prima materia of their work, as they are

for all that is made. Those known to the ancient

world – gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, tin,

mercury, sulphur and carbon – carry rich

symbolism to which artists continue to respond.

As newer discoveries like chromium and neon

have acquired their own cultural associations, so

artists have begun to explore their meanings, too. The elements do not simply occupy fixed

spaces as they do in the periodic table. From the

moment of their discovery, each element

embarks on a journey into our culture.

Featuring historic and contemporary works and

new commissions by artists including Bill

Woodrow, Marc Quinn, Eduaordo Paolozzi, Tim

Etchells and Roger Hiorns, this exhibition seeks to

discover the cultural themes that group the

elements, bringing visitors into direct contact with

the chemical elements in an unprecedented way.

This exhibition also brings with it the opportunity

to develop innovative learning programmes that

address both artistic and scientific concepts.

Designed to extend people’s understanding and

enjoyment of the exhibition and draw attention to

the fact that elements are all around us, not just in

‘chemicals’ kept under the kitchen sink or locked in the laboratory, they will include hands-on activities

based on the use of science in art such as an

interactive periodic table, charcoal drawing and

demonstrations, as well as more

targeted engagement with

schools at primary and secondary

levels.

The Beecroft Trust has very

generously sponsored the exhibition itself, the first such

private benefaction. We are also

delighted to announce that Paul

Cooney, long-time Patron, has

generously sponsored the

learning programme for the

exhibition.

Sponsorship is critical if we are to secure loans, design beautiful

exhibitions spaces and provide

inspiring learning programmes.

You’d be surprised at how just a few hundred

pounds can help to cover costs such as supplies for

a learning resource room.

Upcoming exhibitions still in need of support

include: British Folk Art, Autumn 2014; The Arts and Crafts House, Summer 2015; Canaletto’s

Architecture, Spring 2015; and Creating

Shakespeare, Spring 2016

If you or someone you know might like to

discuss this opportunity, please contact the

Development Team on 01926 645 562.

the elements: historic buildings and landscape

restoration, habitat conservation, the construction

of a new visitor welcome centre and an extensive programme of interpretation and activities which

will encourage many more people to visit and enjoy

this very special place.”

Our next steps include:

Undertaking all of the necessary surveys for

both design development and planning

purposes

Updating the existing landscape conservation

plan and preparing a new one for the Chapel

Recruiting interpretation designers

Continuing to fundraise toward the

£950,000 match funding requirement

Consulting with stakeholders and users to

ensure that our buildings and planned

activities deliver the best outcome for all

If you would like to be included in consultations,

or learn more, please contact Chris on 01926 645

517 or [email protected].

The design team has now been appointed, led by

award-winning architects Purcell, known for

sympathetic heritage restoration and stunning new buildings in heritage settings (their previous

work includes the Arnos Vale Cemetery, Crown

Properties, Canterbury Cathedral and Dover

Castle.) Leading on the landscape development

plans are Bea Landscape and Design. Having

worked on the ‘Capability’ Brown parkland at

Croome Court and also the historic landscapes at

Coughton Court and Spetchley Gardens, Bea is

extremely well-qualified to help us restore and

enhance our beautiful grounds.

We are confident that, under the able leadership

of Project Manager Chris Rice - who, as

Birmingham Museums’ Head of Heritage Services

for 17 years, has delivered numerous Heritage

Lottery Fund projects - we will not only end up

with a restored and enhanced landscape, but will

be able to offer visitors so much more in terms of access and services. Chris says, “It is a real

privilege to be part of the team working on the

Chapel and landscape restoration project at

Compton Verney. What is so nice about the project is

It has been a busy few months as we develop our plans for the next phase of our

major landscape renewal project, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

I knew before I

began this article

that I couldn’t fit

all the many daily

happenings in, so

please excuse if I

failed to hit the

mark; it certainly

isn’t due to a lack of daily grounds activity! I will say

in my defence that no two days are the same, and offer that you’d be very welcome to join one of my

monthly grounds tours where I regularly talk about

our landscape, its history, ongoing management

and our exciting plans for its development – tours

on the first Thursday every month!

Gary Webb

Head of Landscape and Gardens

Gary above and, with Jenny, below

Volunteer Jenny Jones: Grounded in Art

Jenny Jones has been volunteering with Compton

Verney for five years. First serving in the galleries,

she moved into the grounds when the then one-

person “team” needed help. As she is keen on both

art and gardening (she’d just finished her Fine Arts

degree from Birmingham City University and has an

NVQ in landscape design) it seemed like a natural

step.

“It is so different from working in my own garden,

and so beautiful, that it is a real pleasure.” Jenny

says, “In addition, they are so generous with tickets

that we can bring our friends for free.”

Jenny keeps the box in shape, weeds, prunes, plants

and occasionally chops. Over the winter, she has

also spent several weeks looking at 18th century

accounts from Compton Verney in the Warwick and

Stratford record offices. “It is interesting to see how

many local trade and crafts people, as well as workers

from the household, took part in the garden’s

transformation. There are undoubtedly descendants

of these people in the area to this day.”

How many gardeners do you have? Is the most

frequently asked question and there’s quite often

a surprised reaction when I relay that there are

only two employed staff, including myself, and

three volunteers. We have plenty therefore to pack

our days and keep us busy throughout the year.

It’s a swan-like skill to remain calm and controlled

when so much needs doing outside!

Daily tasks are to ensure we’re ship-shape and

ready for opening. We then to move on to other

activity such as mowing, pruning and so on or, for

me in particular, more administration-based tasks.

As a gardener by trade with a particular attraction

for heritage gardens, I naturally prefer the great

outdoors and I thrive on seeing, understanding

and presenting them. Indeed, with my favoured

period being the 18th century, I’m sometimes

convinced I was born 200 years too late!

I am therefore delighted to be steering the

grounds team as we turn our attention to the

significant Heritage Lottery Funded project. I see it as a great opportunity for us, as custodians of the

site, not only to understand its fabric more than

ever before, but also to refresh some of its delicate

elements. Furthermore, the prospect of

representing such a diverse landscape, and in

doing so interpreting its special components to a

modern audience, is thrilling.

Presenting a wonderful landscape as I’m painfully

aware doesn’t guarantee visitors. Indeed, what is

the point of maintaining a landscape if people

can’t experience and enjoy it in person? Some of

my time therefore is now spent promoting our

landscape, a task which is helped by the rise of

digital media. To this end, we have a grounds blog

that in the first year alone received over six

thousand hits, and we’ve now also added a Flickr

group dedicated to building a stock of

engaging grounds

focused images. If

anyone is keen to

look us up, these

features can be

reached via the

grounds pages of the Compton Verney

website – please

Autumn Exhibition: British Folk Art 27 September to 2014 December 2014

As part of our 10th anniversary celebrations, and as

home to one of the UKs largest collections of British

Folk Art, we are delighted to be hosting an exhibition

which is the first major survey of British Folk Art.

Over 150 paintings, sculptures, textiles and objects

have been drawn together from collections across the

country in an exhibition that will celebrate folk art in

the UK.

Folk Art is an established subject in many countries;

however in Britain the genre remains elusive. Rarely

considered in the context of art history, ‘Folk art’ has

been viewed as part of social history or folklore

studies. This show unites an extraordinary selection of

objects, exploring the threshold between art and

artefact and challenging perceptions of ’high art’.

While much Folk Art is anonymous, this exhibition

also presents works by a number of prominent

individuals, often neglected in the story of art in

Britain, including George Smart the tailor of Frant and eminent embroiderer Mary Linwood. There is

also a section devoted to Cornish painter Alfred

Wallis.

Exhibition organised by Tate in collaboration with

Compton Verney.

It took two weeks, lots strength and know-how using a crane, tractor, gantry and the odd carefully placed

sling, to install the exterior works for Moore Rodin on their custom made plinths in time for opening. It was

vital to place each piece correctly, an intricate process not helped by wind, rain and more rain!
