Pleased you enjoyed it!

(Replied after my third viewing, to be clear! I like to watch something a few times at different times, in different moods.)

Thank you, really pleased you enjoyed it.

@@HistoricEngland Really made me think (as I do fairly often already) about just how long this oppression has been going on, and that branched out into all sorts of useful thought about how history can turn to action once understood. Alongside perhaps more obvious thoughts on the depth of sorrow there is in the loss of those places which are touchstones to our social lives, whether those are widely separated or densely, and how this is common to all of us no matter how we live our lives. So! Yes. Very much appreciated.

@@HistoricEngland Thank you, I am indeed!

Thank you! These buildings have amazing history.

Romani is the overall term for the worldwide ethnicity, so the use of the 'i' spelling in this case is deliberate

Hi, yes, many British Romani Gypsies use the spelling Romany and are also known as Romanichal (part of the broader Roma ethnicity). We have chosen to use the more widely used spelling of Romani, but you’re right that some would say Romany Gypsy.

@HistoricEngland you spelt it wrong there as well . Very un British. I've mentioned James squire on KZfaq a few times . And his grandson furnham the premier. My mother's people from one those compounds in new forest . Glad to see you recognising Chaplin , I listened to no such thing as a fish podcast on Chaplin life and the did not mention it . We know it is true . So many times people don't see the gypsy till something bad has happened.

P/s joking bout spelling , I don't really care , it's you people that make the spelling up lol

Hi Yvonne, thanks for your question. For external stone, we would suggest enamel or oil-based paints for inpainting for a based colour. Acrylic paint can also be used for internal monuments, but is insufficiently robust for an external location. As the video explains, a size is applied, followed with gold leaf (of no less than 23 carat). An oil- or water-based size is suitable for internal use, whereas oil-based is more durable for external use. The videos show a black oil-based paint being applied, followed by a size and then gold leaf. The video appears to show a ‘yellow paint’, but this is, in fact, the applied gold leaf.

Thank you for sharing, Peter. Hope you get to visit the area again soon.

Good spot!

Thanks for your question! The specialist paper used for the paper mask called 'Silversafe' may not be produced anymore. However, you might still be able to find the lightest weight one (40gsm) in stock at some suppliers. You can also use different brand paper that passed the Photographic Activity Test (PAT). Conservation suppliers we use include Preservation Equipment (PEL), Conservation by Design (CXD), and John Purcell Paper (JPP). For new cover glass, we use a local picture framer or online picture framing supplier. Modern picture glass are generally chemically stable (compared to alkali-rich historical glass), so should be safe to use for the purpose. 2mm thick glass would be suitable for this. Perspex (Acrylic) plates are lightweight but can be too flexible. You can specify and order the glass from online suppliers like: Pictureframeglass.co.uk and Bramptonframing.com Hope this helps!

@@HistoricEngland Thank you so much for such a thorough response. All the best to you.🌹
