 Hello, everybody. My name is Pippa Shirley. I'm Head of Collections and Gardens here at Wadston. I just wanted to give you a little bit of a lockdown diary, a glimpse behind the scenes at what we're doing in this rather extraordinary time when the house is closed to visitors to keep the collections safe and secure, which is obviously a very important part of what we do every day. We've got a very small team working still, our specialist conservation staff, and also obviously our security teams who are here as they always are, making sure everything is safe and secure. But I just wanted to tell you a little bit about what we're doing during this phase of lockdown, so I'm just going to flip my screen so you can see the rest of the room and I will see you in a moment. So, here is a more general view of the room. It's called the Baron's room and it was Baron Ferdinand's private sitting room here at Wadston. And looking at it, you can see that it is in a state which we actually call put to bed, which is a way that we look after the collections when we're closed. Because we're a historic house and not a museum, we have to manage the conservation a bit differently to somewhere like, say, the V&A. So, we put small objects in store and we roll the carpets and we cover the furniture to protect everything against light, which fades textiles and the needed furniture and dust, which can do damage if it sticks to surfaces. The reason that the room looks like this now is because when lockdown happened, we were in the middle of preparing the house for reopening. And so you can see that some objects are actually out, like that rather marvellous garniture of served vases on the mantelpiece, whereas some other objects still have their covers in place. Anyway, it's a good opportunity to show you what the house looks like behind the scenes, as it were. So, what are we doing now? Well, one of the main concerns is the environment in the house, which means the levels of relative humidity or moisture in the air. And what we're aiming for all the time is a stable environment. Too much R8, you start having problems, so we need to be able to use the heating system in the house to control the environment. What furniture and painting and textiles don't like are big fluctuations in their environment. That's when you start to get problems like cracking or flexing of the nears on inlaid furniture and also maybe the growth of things like mould, which is obviously very undesirable. So, we have sensors in every room and I'm going to show you one now. There it is, it's that little box there. Very exciting. And those are linked to a building's management system on our computer network and we can pull reports off that and also respond to alarms and adjust things if we need to, so it's a process of constant monitoring. And talking of monitoring, one of the things that the team are doing very actively right now is checking for pests. We're mostly concerned about the ones that eat organic materials, so wood and textiles, and that means things like woodworm and clothes moth, which we obviously all know about, and woolly bear, which sound really cute, but absolutely aren't. And they're the larvae of a carpet beetle, which as their name suggests eat carpets, but also other textiles. So, we use insect traps like this one here. I don't know if you can see that, so that we can monitor the populations of the insects. But then it's really just a matter of vigilance. So, we have to keep checking in crevices, curtains, underneath pieces of furniture, anywhere really that we think that they might be hiding and hatching. And then we hoover them up very carefully with specialist vacuums. And then the other thing that we check for on a regular basis are animals that can get into the house by mistake. These are normally things like bats and mice, but we have had the old bird come in and as you can imagine, they are a real headache to deal with.
