Freeman Ann-Marie Miller ACR, Director Codex Conservation Ltd working on historic collections

29 NOVEMBER 2024

It has been a busy few months at Codex Conservation Ltd. We are a book and paper conservation workshop, working with historic collections in London and the South East.

Our current projects include architectural plans of the Royal Albert Hall, a Victorian album of drawings, letters, and musical score, for Ightham Mote funded by the Radcliffe Trust and various volumes for the Freud Museum and the London Library. One of our long running projects is with the Latymer Upper School Archive in Hammersmith.

Since 2019, we have been helping them to stabilise, and make accessible, the oldest manuscripts in their archive, which are mainly historic stationery bindings. They are wonderful examples of English Stationery Bindings from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Stationers and members of London Press Club heard from journalist author Jane Martinson how her dogged determination secured publication of her book on the Barclay twins.

Conway Stewart has recently launched The Lady Churchill Pen in association with the University Of Cambridge.

25 NOVEMBER 2024

The Lady Churchill Pen has been designed to honour Clementine Ogilvy Spencer Churchill; the wife of Sir Winston Churchill.

Sir Winston Churchill wrote to his wife when he was away from home, and she would reply to him. In these letters he was called fondly by his wife “my sweet Pug”, and his nickname for her was “Clemmie Kat”. He often drew little pictures of a “Pug” at the end his letters, and Lady Churchill would end her letters with a drawing of a “Kat”.
