Experiencing Britain's Ruins: 'Revenants and Remains' at Five Northern English Religious Houses and Beyond

该项目旨在通过将PI教授Dale Townshend的AHRC领导奖学金“书写英国遗址，1700-1850：建筑想象力”（AH/M00600X/1; 2015-16）的研究成果应用于当代遗产解释，废墟旅游和创造性文学回应的实践，从而增强公众对英国遗址的“体验”。在12个月的时间里，PI Townshend和共同成员Michael Carter博士和Dominique Bouchard博士，都是英国遗产（EH），将交付，管理和最终评估“亡者和遗迹”，这是一个创新和令人兴奋的免费项目，面向公众的数字和现实生活活动，重点关注，但也向外辐射，英格兰北部5个主要的EH修道院遗址：北约克郡的Byland修道院；坎布里亚的弗内斯修道院；坎布里亚郡的Lanercost修道院；里沃克斯修道院，北约克郡；和南约克郡的罗氏修道院。直接响应这些遗址遗产部门的确定需求，这个多方面的知识交流（KE）和影响产生计划旨在在当今虚拟和现实环境中重新表达，重建和嵌入原始文学历史研究（1700-1850）的各个方面，展示其研究结果与当代废墟旅游行为的相关性，从而直接丰富公众的知识。国家历史和建筑遗产的欣赏和体验。“遗属和遗属”方案的目标如下：1)通过鬼魂（“亡魂”）和肉体和建筑遗迹（“遗迹”）这一流行和高招募率的主题，吸引新的当地观众到这5个教会废墟遗址。2)吸引这些新的公众观众对这些遗址丰富的、经常有争议的历史感兴趣，主要是通过死亡、埋葬、毁灭、来世和超自然等主题上的相关主题来讲述。通过一系列主题连贯的现场解说，增强和改变当地和全国游客对建筑遗产的认识、感知和体验。4)通过制作和策划更广泛的以ke为重点的数字内容，扩大“归来者与遗迹”项目的适用性，从而扩大其潜在影响，使其超越5个选定的地点；并为文物专业人士及持份者举办工作坊，以达致上述目标，“遗落者及遗存”包括以下五个目标：1)现场青年交流活动的组织11-25-yr-olds2)导游的组织和运行成人游客选择的5个网站主题的主题的亡魂,3)创意写作研讨会的组织和运行的每个5选择sites4)主题数字内容的管理更一般nature5)的运行的主题研讨会“哥特式旅游/闹鬼的遗产”英国遗产专家。因此，为原始研究创造和吸引新的观众，丰富游客对英国遗址的体验，并最终为历史环境的可持续管理做出贡献，该项目旨在打造在“书写英国遗址”过程中既无法预见也无法实现的影响途径。

This project aims to enhance the public 'experience' of Britain's ruins by applying research findings derived from PI Prof. Dale Townshend's AHRC Leadership Fellowship, 'Writing Britain's Ruins, 1700-1850: The Architectural Imagination' (AH/M00600X/1; 2015-16), to contemporary practices of heritage interpretation, ruin tourism and creative literary response. Over a 12-month period, PI Townshend and Co-Is Dr Michael Carter and Dr Dominique Bouchard, both of English Heritage (EH), will deliver, administer and ultimately evaluate 'Revenants and Remains', an innovative and exciting programme of free, public-facing digital and real-life activities focused upon, but also radiating outwards beyond, 5 key EH sites of monastic ruin in the north of England: Byland Abbey, North Yorkshire; Furness Abbey, Cumbria; Lanercost Priory, Cumbria; Rievaulx Abbey, North Yorkshire; and Roche Abbey, South Yorkshire. Responding directly to identified needs within the heritage sector at these sites, this multi-faceted programme for knowledge exchange (KE) and impact generation aims to rearticulate, recreate and embed aspects of the original literary-historical research (1700-1850) in present-day virtual and real-life contexts, showing the relevance of its findings to contemporary acts of ruin tourism so as directly to enrich the general public's knowledge, appreciation and experience of national history and architectural heritage. The aims of the 'Revenants and Remains' programme are as follows: 1) To attract new local audiences of all ages to these 5 sites of ecclesiastical ruin through the popular and high-recruiting theme of ghosts ('revenants') and corporeal and architectural vestiges ('remains') 2) To engage the interest of these new public audiences in the rich, often controversial histories of these sites, primarily as they are told through the thematically cognate topics of death, burial, ruination, the afterlife and the supernatural 3) To enrich, enhance and change local and national visitors' knowledge, perception and experience of architectural heritage through a thematically coherent set of on-site interpretations 4) To extend the applicability and, thus, the potential impact of the 'Revenants and Remains' programme outwards beyond the 5 selected locales through the production and curation of more general KE-focused digital content, as well as through the hosting of a workshop for heritage professionals and stakeholders So as to realise these aims, 'Revenants and Remains' comprises the following 5 objectives: 1) The organisation of on-site youth-engagement activities for 11-25-yr-olds2) The organisation and running of guided tours for adult visitors to the 5 chosen sites themed around the topic of 'Revenants and Remains'3) The organisation and running of creative writing workshops at each of the 5 selected sites4) The curation of themed digital content of a more general nature5) The running of a workshop on the theme of 'Gothic Tourism / Haunted Heritage' for British heritage professionals.Thus creating and engaging new audiences for the original research, enriching the visitor's experience of Britain's ruins and ultimately contributing towards the sustainable management of the historic environment, the project aims to forge pathways to impact that were neither foreseen nor, indeed, possible during the course of 'Writing Britain's Ruins'.
