Behind the Scenes at Compton

Spring 2013

Verney

Inside Compton Verney is a new

e-magazine that we hope will give you

more insight into Compton Verney’s

experiences and accomplishments.

Produced two times a year, it will provide a behind-

the-scenes glimpse into what it takes to keep this

place so special for all visitors.

We were given a fantastic boost last year by being

awarded an Arts Council Catalyst grant. This allows

us to employ an additional member of staff, hold

new events, launch a legacy programme and

match any gifts made before 2015 in support of

new arts activities. Major grants from DCMS/

Wolfson and The Clothworkers’ Foundation has

also allowed us to redisplay the Marx-Lambert

Collection.

We are also delighted to have been given a grant of

£25,000 toward the Chapel restoration project by

the J. Paul Getty Jnr. Charitable Trust and £2,000

from the West Midlands Museum Development

grant for our new Forest School initiative.

As the Peter Moores Foundation, which has been so

instrumental in establishing Compton Verney, is

winding up in 2014, such support is crucial.

We are planning an exciting series of events for

Benefactors, Patrons, Supporters and Members for

2013. These include another Open House, a music

and wine evening, a trip to Vienna, Chiswick House

and Gardens and The Royal Mint Collection in

Wales, and tours of private collections. Please be

sure to keep your membership up to date and

consider upgrading so you don’t miss out.

Please do not hesitate to contact me, or my

Development colleagues, Jess Brown and Rebecca

Mundy, if we can be of assistance.

Thanks again for your support of Compton Verney

News bites Sell-out smashes

Our first fundraising events for the Chapel

restoration project were complete successes,

raising over £25,800. Thanks to the efforts of

Munchi Choksey and Christine Archer, pianist Rob

Colley wowed the crowd with classical music and

jazz pieces he had composed himself, on 14

September 2012.

Through the enthusiastic leadership of Dominique

Markham, Min Willoughby de Broke, Christine

Archer, Catherine Loudon and Joanne Perry, our

first Gala dinner, concert and auction was also a

huge success. With support from sponsors Quilter

and George Pragnell, and generous donations of

auction lots from the likes of Richard Fox

Silversmith and Rangemaster Precision Arms, a

fantastic night was held by all

Adoption programme growing up

Our Adopt a Tree programme has been a huge

success with 52 trees adopted and £14,200 raised.

This summer we are planning to expand the

programme to allow those who share our passion for art, or simply want to remember a loved one

or special occasion, to adopt an artwork, bench or

gallery. See What’s On or contact Jess Brown on

01926 645 547 for more information.

Art theft!

Well, not really, but we did enjoy seeing Compton Verney featured on the big screen with the

premiere last year of Gambit, an old-fashioned

comedy caper starring Colin Firth and Cameron

Diaz partially set in the Naples galleries (with a

chequerboard floor and new artwork) and the

Adam Hall. While we can assure you that no lions

were brought into the gallery, we can’t divulge

whether Alan Rickman really did reveal all while

here!

Country Garden Fair

In addition to the sumptuous Tapestry exhibition,

we were delighted to kick off the 2012 holiday

season with a hugely popular textile fair on 10

November. In 2013 we are planning a Country Garden Fair on 20 April.

Be sure to save the date

as handmade soaps,

woodcrafts, flowers,

plants, antique garden

tools, furniture and

much more will be on

sale. It promises to be a

wonderful opportunity

to find that something

special—for yourself or

a loved one.

In 2012 the Chapel was reopened for the

first time in decades after emergency

repairs were made to the roof and

interior. As we celebrate our ability to

share this beautiful building with visitors,

Dr Steven Parissien tells us a bit more

about its architectural significance.

The current, Grade I-listed Chapel at Compton

Verney was built in 1776-80 by the celebrated

landscape designer Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown for

the 14th Lord Willoughby de Broke. Brown had

demolished the medieval Chapel by the lake in

1772, but brought many of the monuments and

possibly all of the glass to his new, double-cube

building just to the north-west of the house.

The sandstone masonry for the new building (aside

from the locally-sourced foundation courses of

polite limestone) came from Gloucester, while the

plaster decoration in the coffered ceiling was

created by William Hiatt. The bellcote is not original

and was probably added in c.1854 – the date

inscribed on the bell itself.

A National Treasure revisited;

Compton Verney’s Chapel

The original window glass was assembled for Lord

Willoughby de Broke by a dealer in the 1770s –

possibly the same dealer used by the baron’s brother-in-law, Lord North, for a similar task at

nearby Wroxton. The collection was famous, and

comprised not just panels that Brown had removed

from the old Chapel but also English heraldic glass

from the fifteenth century onwards and six windows

of excellent, early sixteenth-century German glass.

Sadly, in 1931 a later owner of the site, the 2nd

Lord Manton, sold all of the window glass (aside from the spandrels) at auction at Christie’s. The

Chancellor of the Diocese attempted to intervene to

stop the sale, but concluded that Lord Manton was

within his legal rights. Future plans for the windows

include restoring the spandrels and inserting

historically-appropriate plain glass in the

window below. Any borrowed or recovered

original glass, or any other historic or contemporary

glass panels, will be hung in front of these plain

windows.

The tall, wooden pulpit was, in the Country Life

photographs of 1913, shown located in the middle

of the south range of pews. Presumably this was to

facilitate the holding of services on a north-south

axis, since the

large double tomb

partly obscures the

west end.

However, the

architect of the

recent Chapel

repairs, John

Goom, found

structural evidence

confirming that the pulpit was – unsurprisingly –

originally located at the east end of this range, and

it has now been returned to its proper site.

The Chapel interior is dominated by the tomb of

Richard and Margaret Verney, of c.1631, by the

celebrated sculptor-architect Nicholas Stone. Brown

deliberately put this feature centre-stage, and in

many ways appears to have built the Chapel round

it. Part of the reason for this may not just be the

tomb’s virtuoso carving but also the reputation

of its creator – who was, in 1776, a far more

famous artistic figure than he is today.

The bellcote awaiting repair

Sunrise illuminating the 17th century tomb

Nicholas Stone was born in 1587 in Devon, and

after 1613 worked for the Office of the King’s

Works. His most outstanding works include

monuments to John Donne in St Paul’s Cathedral

of 1631; Francis Holles (1622) and Sir George

Villiers (1631) at Westminster Abbey; Elizabeth,

Lady Carey at Stowe Nine Churches, Weedon,

Northants; William Peyto and his wife at St Giles,

Chesterton of 1639; Orlando Gibbons at

Canterbury Cathedral, 1626; and Sir Thomas

Bodley at Merton

College, Oxford, 1615.

Stone could also turn

his hand to architecture

– although in this

context he was

invariably eclipsed by

his contemporary and

friend, Inigo Jones – and

designed not only York

House Water Gate,

London (in 1626, for

the Duke of

Buckingham), three

gates for the University

Botanical Gardens in

Oxford in 1632, Lindsey

House in Lincoln’s Inn

Fields in 1640 (for his friend Sir David Cunningham, for whom Stone had already

designed a simple monument to Sir Thos Puckering

at St Mary’s, Warwick), but also the bizarrely

Italianate Baroque porch to St Mary’s Church,

Oxford of 1637.

The memorial floor slabs and the two large wall

monuments (whose authors remain tantalisingly

unknown) were all brought by Brown from the old Chapel. Interestingly, Brown laid the slabs facing

west, rather than east.

The Chapel has not been in use since 1988, a time

when the site’s former owner made a number of

unauthorised alterations to the interior, including

the removal of the pews and pulpit. This prompted

Stratford District Council to serve an Enforcement

Order demanding the reinstallation of this historic

woodwork. Although, during the restoration of the

house and grounds in the late 1990s, the Chapel

was structurally secured and repaired by Rodney

Melville and Partners, this work did not include any

reinstatement of original features.

Grant aid obtained in 2011 enabled us to repair the

Chapel in order to reopen one of the nation’s most

important Georgian Chapels for public viewing –

and to comply with the Enforcement Order. The

reborn Chapel not only allows us to enhance

and improve public appreciation of the highly

significant ‘Capability’ Brown landscape at

Compton Verney by restoring one of its

essential elements, but to attract a new audience

to this unique, valuable historic site.

We are in the process of applying for charitable

support to continue with the Chapel’s restoration

and that of the rest of our nationally important

landscape. If you’d like to know more, please

contact the Development Office on 01926 645 547.

Compton Verney’s Grade I-listed Chapel of 1776-80 is one of the very few buildings

designed by Brown that was meant for use as more than just an eye catcher.

Sir Roy Strong named

first Artistic Patron We are delighted to announce that Sir

Roy Strong has kindly agreed to

become Compton Verney's first Artistic

Patron.

Sir Roy will be joining us for an annual event at

which he will meet with current and potential Benefactors, Patrons and Supporters as well as

others who want to support our work.

Sir Roy Strong FRSL is an art historian, museum

curator, writer, broadcaster and landscape

designer. Having created the Laskett Gardens, the

largest private formal gardens to be created in

England since 1945, and been director of the

National Portrait Gallery and Victoria and Albert

Museum, he is uniquely suited to share his

knowledge with us and act as an ambassador for

Compton Verney.

Leaving your mark

Can you spare a moment to think

about how you would like to be

remembered?

According to a recent survey, only three in ten

people in the UK have made a Will. The money

they have left behind may therefore go straight to

the Treasury.

The choices we make in

our Will allow us to make

the active decision of how

we wish to be

remembered, and to

support the organisations

we love to continue their

vital work. At Compton Verney we receive no

regular government funding, and so donations in

the form of legacies are essential in allowing us to

continue to fulfil our aim of sharing our passion

for art with as many people as possible.

This is why we have set up our new Legacy

programme, which makes it easier than ever to

become a part of the future of Compton Verney

6

whether or not you already have a Will. However

large or small a legacy gift might be, they are all

vital in allowing us to continue reaching and

inspiring people through great art. This includes

maintaining our exceptional collections, exhibitions

and learning programmes, as well as caring for our

Grade I-listed buildings and ‘Capability’ Brown

landscape.

A small act of generosity can go a long way,

allowing us to bring art to life

for thousands of visitors, and

ensure that Compton Verney

continues to inspire lovers or art,

landscape and architecture, as

well as enrich the lives of school

children.

As someone who is passionate

about Compton Verney and the

work we do, leaving a gift in your

Will will allow us to ensure future generations enjoy

Compton Verney as you have done.

For more information, or to discuss how your

legacy might be used to support a specific

programme or leave a lasting memorial, please

contact Rebecca Mundy on 01926 645 562.

A Day in the life of…

Emily Medcraft, Front

of House Manager

The role of Front of House Manager is

quite varied. Every day is a different

challenge and I have to think on my feet

quite a lot.

Why is this? Well the three areas I look after - staff,

volunteers and group bookings – all revolve

around people. Whether it’s a staff member

phoning in sick, a group turning up early/late or

unannounced or a really enthusiastic potential

volunteer on the phone - each situation is

different and requires a different approach. And

let’s face it; even the most reliable of us can have

unpredictable days.

Each group booker has to be treated as an

individual – some are very switched on and know

what they want. With them it’s just a case of

getting the information, sending them the correct

paperwork and welcoming them when they

arrive. Others need a little more assistance and,

although this can be time consuming, it’s quite

satisfying to help them through the process and to see them come through the door confident

that they arranged everything to their group’s

satisfaction.

In terms of staffing, all gallery staff work to a two-

week rolling rota which is set at the beginning of

the season. It’s my job to ensure that we have

enough staff to open the galleries each day and

that the spaces are staffed to meet the

requirements of insurers, the lenders, the public

Emily Medcraft

programme and expected visitor numbers.

Basically, if we don’t have enough staff, we can’t

open. So if someone books holiday or calls in sick, I

have to find cover. We’ve never had a situation where we haven’t been able to open or have to

close a gallery because we’re short staffed – mind

you, I have found that bribery and begging can be

quite useful to get people to work when we’re

really stuck!

Volunteers have become a real asset to the

organisation. We currently have 30 people who

volunteer with us one day each per week. They help all departments and I’m responsible for

recruiting, training and placing volunteers in the

right role for them and Compton Verney. Although

they are then managed by their respective

departments, I’m still responsible for all the

administration – expenses, time logs and reviews.

And whereas staff are generally recruited at the

start of each season, recruitment for volunteers

continues throughout the year, with induction training taking place three or four times a year. It’s

a rolling process and it’s rewarding to see fresh,

enthusiastic individuals joining throughout the

year.

But I don’t just sit at my desk all day dealing with

paperwork. I’m out and about around the gallery –

working weekends as the Duty Manager or helping

to cover out of hour’s events such as weddings. I

even drive the shuttle sometimes. My favourite

thinking on my feet situation was rescuing an

elderly couple who had visited as part of a group

and the coach had left without them. They were

from Glamorgan, slight panic as that’s quite a long

way to drive someone, but then they remembered

that they were staying in Stratford...just a short

journey away in the Compton Verney Shuttle. They were a lovely couple and I even got them back to

their hotel before the coach. As I said every day is a

different challenge – it would be dull otherwise

wouldn’t it?

Marx-Lambert re-display Underwritten by DCMS/Wolfson Fund and The

Clothworkers’ Foundation, we have made more use

of the wallpapers and fabrics designed by Enid Marx

and provided integrated family activities. Such

major work can only be done when the galleries are

empty.

The colours used in the Adam Hall floor are very

rare as Robert Adam tended to use black and white

in entrance halls. Like the Chapel, parts of the floor

are underpinned by barrel vaults to provide

stability. The floor still needs approximately

£60,000 more in restoration, when charitable

funding allows.

Behind the scenes at Compton Verney during

the closed season

What exactly do we get up to when we’re closed? Here are just a few examples:

Emergency works to the

Adam Hall floor

Volunteering at Compton Verney Walking down the driveway to Compton Verney

for my interview as a volunteer I was filled with

apprehension of how this little Welsh lady would

fit in to such an English scene!! I need not have

worried – everyone was so warm and friendly and

I felt valued from day one. We volunteers are

considered equally as members of the Compton

Verney team. Although we are not remunerated,

we do have perks – e.g free entry for our guests,

staff discount in the shop/restaurant and

travelling expenses.

My role has been varied and wide ranging,

beginning with a stint as a gallery assistant.

Subsequently I have helped out in the HR

department, taken minutes at meetings, provided

administrative support to the Development

Department, helped out at events such as Private

Views and made the tea! Witnessing how a gallery

like Compton Verney is run on a day to day basis

Preparing for the exhibition It takes two to three weeks to install each exhibition with art work arriving in purpose built

crates, often accompanied by a courier from the

lending institution. Before being hung on the

walls, each art work has its condition assessed.

During the closed season, preparing the galleries is

easier as a temporary workshop can be set up on

the first floor landing, a busy public area when we

are open.

Sue Jones,Volunteer (pictured above)

has been fascinating

– from the

conception of an

exhibition to seeing the paintings on the

walls, how funds are

raised to keep us

going and the joy my

granddaughters

experience every time

they visit.

To be involved as a

volunteer with such a

prodigious organisation as Compton Verney is a

real honour and a pleasure. I have thoroughly

enjoyed every minute of my last four years

supporting the work of the staff and helping to

improve the visitors’ experience. If you would

like to volunteer, just call 01926 645 500.

Patrons visit Madrid Madrid was the 2012 destination for our

Patrons’ trip and it was a huge success.

One of the benefits of being a Patron or Benefactor

is that you are invited to join an international tour

each year. In 2012, 14 of us journeyed to Madrid

where we were looked after by our delightful and

inspirational guide Maurizio.

Maurizio led us through the annals of art history as

seen in The Prado and Thyssen museums with

authority, knowledge and humour. His anecdotes

kept our interest from flagging when we were

looking at the 50th El Greco, or 25th Goya of the

day. We all came away with our knowledge of

15th, 16th and 17th century Spanish art expanded

by 100%, at least!

Our trips are such fun, there is tremendous

camaraderie, whether watching the bull fight,

looking at Baroque art and architecture or sitting

eating yet another delicious lunch or dinner, with

excellent food and copious amounts of strong red

wine. We were all very sad when our 4 days in one

of the most exciting capitals in Europe, with

fabulous weather, came to an end.

Everyone is queuing up to be on next year’s trip to

Vienna. Do consider becoming a Patron or

Benefactor and joining us.
