SUMMARY:Christian Walker - Coleshill: National Trust's Heritage & Rural Skills Centre
DESCRIPTION:The Buscot and Coleshill Estate was largely taken on for the great Coleshill House\, built in the 1650s it struck a new model in design\, layout and craftsmanship that was to influence the English country houses for centuries.  Sadly the house burned down during its restoration and before it was legally gifted to the National Trust.  The estate became a sleeping giant covering over 7500 acres with over 1000 buildings and structures.  It  inspired many craftspeople and artists including William Morris\, Michie Herbert and Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie.  An idea emerged in 2017 to engage\, the National Trust’s first Heritage and Rural Skills Centre champions dying skills including connecting children and young people with skills.  Christian Walker\, General Manager for West Oxfordshire National Trust\, will take you through how the idea developed and how spaces were given new uses\, with the new ways of working being established to secure long term future for buildings on the estate and what future projects look like as the vision for a renewed creative estate is realised.
