ジョン・ラボックによる古記念物保護法の制定とその後の建築保存行政への影響について : 英国における歴史的建造物の保存に関する研究

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the process of approval of the Ancient Monuments Protection Act 1882 enacted by Sir John Lubbock, and to consider the people's attitude to the conservation of historical monuments in Britain at that time. It took 9 years to approve the act. Meanwhile, a lot of discussions were performed in the Parliament. These discussions are very important to understand the British building conservation system since they are related to the basic idea for the administration of them. Then, I focus on details of enactment of the act. I discuss the difference between the National Monuments Preservation Bill 1873 that Lubbock presented first and the Act that actually approved, and I argue about the discussions in the Parliament. I also examine the influence to the later British building conservation administration system briefly. In conclusion, I show how the British people thought about the conservation of historical monuments and buildings in late 19th Century, and how the 1882 Act influenced to the later system.
