Research on Harold has led me to talk to a lot of people and I am getting so much information, I am realising that this could be a journal article at the very least. This week I went on a visit to Treasurer's House in Martock. Harold and Florence bought this house in 1943 and after Harold's retirement, they moved here permanently. In 1970 after Florence's death, the house was bequeathed to the National Trust. The house is beautiful and the volunteer there was extremely knowledgeable of the early history of the building. Unfortunately there was no information regarding the period of time they were there. Further digging is needed.
The blissful satisfaction of the research has now prompted me to apply again for a place on an MA course in Curatorial Practice. Back in 2005 I applied and was accepted onto the course at Newcastle University. For whatever reasons I had at the time, I didn't enrol. This time, I will be better equipped, and certainly more motivated, to see it through. I am applying to Bath Spa University for the 2018 entry. I love my job, and want much more experience here before I embark on the new chapter of my career development.
