DCMS opens up debate on Cultural Value
What does 'cultural value' mean, and to whom?
The latest blog post from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) seeks to stimulate discussion across the cultural sector on the very idea of measuring cultural value. Dr Claire Donovan is an academic working at DCMS to write a report on this issue, and wants to know what we in the heritage sector, and those in the arts, libraries, and museums sectors, think.
Dr Donovan asks can the value of culture be measured by government in monetary (or other) terms, or is it ‘priceless’? Is ‘measure’ the right word? What is ‘culture’ anyway? What does ‘value’ mean and to whom? And how should DCMS go about deciding what to support with public money? Get involved in the discussion here.

Welcome to the blog of Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy
Our innovative consultancy offers particular expertise in the creation and interpretation of historic characterisations and associated management plans as well as the assessment and analysis of heritage assets at both a site based and landscape scale. Much of our recent work has been within protected landscapes where it is crucial that a holistic view is taken of the significance of heritage assets within a wider landscape context.
The consultancy is directed by Emma Rouse MIfA who has 10 years experience in the interpretation and analysis of historic data including historic characterisations, historic mapping, nationally designated sites, historic environment records, and national mapping programme data.
The consultancy is able to apply this understanding to feed into management plans, heritage area assessments, forward planning scenarios such as growth area assessments as well as to aid development management applications and decisions, including the preparation of heritage statements.

When necessary the consultancy is able to draw on the complimentary skills of indepedent specialist consultants in fields such as landscape architecture, design and computing.
We combine up to date knowledge on the latest policy and guidance with technical prowess in Geographical Information Systems and have experience of project managing complex projects with multiple stakeholders.
