1 week ago
Summary
***INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY PLEASE***
Are you someone who cares deeply about achieving high standards, and helping to make beauty and history accessible to all? If so, you could become a Collections and House Officer at Hinton Portfolio, bringing to life the history and significance of this much-loved place.
Working pattern is Tuesday to Saturday 9am to 5pm, Full time weekend and BH working essential. (Hinton is open seven days a week).What it's like to work here
The Hinton Portfolio comprises of Hinton Ampner, Uppark House and Garden, Winchester City Mill and Ludshott and Selborne Commons. The portfolio is large and varied, covering the Western part of the South Downs National Park. We have two glorious mansions, priceless collections and stunning gardens; a working water mill and several pockets of beautiful countryside providing access to nature for everyone.
Uppark was built c.1690, crowning the South Downs ridge in West Sussex. Uppark is a fine example of a family home built during the golden age of country-house construction in the 17th century, cherished by generations of families. The interiors and gardens are predominantly associated with the Fetherstonhaugh family who bought the estate in 1747 and filled it with British decorative art and extensive sets of paintings acquired on extended Grand Tours. Changes were made later to the approaches, gardens and interiors by renowned architect and landscape designer Humphry Repton. One key element to our collection at Uppark is one of just two most important 18th-century British dolls’ houses in the world, currently on loan at the Huguenot Museum in Rochester, this was originally brought to Uppark in 1746. Uppark is also immortalised in H.G.Wells’ novel ‘Tono Bungay’ after he spent some of his youth living here. A devastating fire in 1989 gutted many of the interiors but they were painstakingly reconstructed, and the house today is presented as it was on the day before the fire, highlighting the amazing skill and specialist craftmanship that was brought in to bring this unique property back to its former glory.
Hinton Ampner is a Grade II listed mansion radically remodelled for Ralph Dutton between 1936-9. Hinton Ampner is an important building in shaping twentieth-century interpretation of the significance of the Country House in the U.K. context. Dutton was positioned at the centre of an important homosocial relationship network of creative individuals who came together to co-create and co-design collections, interiors, and architecture. After a fire in 1960, the house was rebuilt and refurnished immediately, and Hinton Ampner still retains its Regency Villa style today. The house interiors and works of art are comparable with international museum collections. Dutton was an authority on art and architecture, avidly buying art at a time when the market was flooded with the dispersal of major private collections, and before an increase in prices of the late 1960s. Dutton’s collection comprises of important examples of seventeenth to twentieth-century European art including paintings, furniture, sculptures, porcelain and one of the finest groups of hardstones in the National Trust.
