Today the Barbados Museum kindly agreed to work in partnership with a training programme provided by M Womersleys, working with the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute, in Bridgetown, Barbados. The training is sponsored by the Queen Elizabeth II, Platinum Jubilee Commonwealth Heritage Skills Training Programme, funded by the Hamish Ogston Foundation
The Barbados Museum, located at the Garrison, is housed in the former British Military Prison. The prison, whose upper section was built in 1817 and lower section in 1853, became the headquarters of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society in 1930.
We will start training for the SJPI and Grantley Adams Memorial School students, with the theory on building with lime and its use in Barbados and then practical training in stone repair for both masons and plasterers. Joinery work will begin to recreate and repair a weighted, vertical sliding sash window, from the 1850’s, and plastering work will start to repair a lath and plaster window head.
