Managing our Heritage The Trustees at St Edwards Hall are taking a serious look at managing the collection of paintings, books armour gifted to Stow on the Wold by Captain Christie Crawfurd. The Captain Christie Crawfurd English Civil War Collection is an interesting collection of paintings of Charles I, his court, family and prominent Royalist supporters, including religious figures, portraits of Oliver Cromwell and some of Parliament’s supporters. It was given to the town of Stow-on-the-Wold by Captain Christie Crawfurd (1859–1948), who had assembled a collection of Civil War books, paintings and armour. The books are held in the county archives but the paintings and armour are at Stow. The Trustees have already established an on-going project for the conservation and restoration, as necessary, of the paintings and have been considering the management of the collection - with a view to possibly making it more accessible to the public and students of the Civil War period. Contacting the Ironbridge Institute (allied to Birmingham University) earlier this year they met Laura Packer, studying for a Masters in Heritage Management. Cataloguing The Christie Crawfurd Collection with as much detail as possible and pulling together all the various information available (using the Collectify software) would provide Laura with the project she needed for her Masters, and provide the Trustees with a fully catalogued collection and a forward plan. A six-week project was agreed and Laura completed the catalogue and Forward Plan last month. St Edwards Hall is home to the Library Service on the ground Floor (with increasing hours since the closure of library services in Bourton on the Water and Moreton in Marsh), while the first floor hosts many club meetings as well as fundraising events, fairs, exhibitions and civic presentations. It is well booked and the Hall’s income covers its running costs. The Trustees are now considering how to make the Collection available to more people, creating a booklet/guide to the Collection, with open days to encourage visitors and a dynamic website linked to the Public Catalogue Foundation, where photographs of all the painting can be seen. Making the Collection more available will enable the Trustees to seek further funding to help develop the project further and complete the restoration of paintings, as required. Meanwhile, the Trustees thank Laura for her work cataloguing the Collection and hope that she achieves her Masters in Heritage Management. 17
