Abstract
This article describes a methodology developed in consultation with English Heritage, The National Trust and Historic Royal Palaces. It links past environmental conditions in historic houses to object deterioration, using information from a range of disciplines. These include environmental history, building science, archival research and preventive conservation. The methodology was devised in order to integrate qualitative and quantitative evidence for a novel simulation of historic buildings. Application of the methodology has illustrated the value of integrating different strands of research to provide a robust synergistic approach to the complex problem of assessing natural ageing in historic materials. This approach will aid the understanding of both past internal climates and future object deterioration.
