S1. Ep 8. In conversation with Marie Woods from Heritage Adventures
In this episode I am joined by Marie Woods from Heritage
Adventures, an independent archaeologist and heritage consultant working with councils, contractors and architects to support them with their projects by
examining sites and producing reports to assist them in achieving their goals. Marie also runs heritage workshops with schools and museums working nationally.
Marie and I discuss where her interest in heritage and
archaeology came from along with grossest thing she has uncovered when working on a site. She also shares common items you might find when working on a
traditional property and what you might want to do with them once you have uncovered them.
We discuss the skills gap and lack of opportunities for
people to learn. The cultural and architectural value of a building and how important it is to understand these when approaching any work especially if you are planning on making any changes and how this feeds into a planning
application. Plus, top tips and how important it is to have a maintenance plan.
We also pled to certain programmes to mention more about working with a traditional (and listed) property to help raise awareness on planning requirements and appropriateness of materials and not just glossing
over it as they sometimes (often) do.
It will be interesting listen for anyone embarking on a
project and is looking for some guidance and anyone generally interested in older properties.
