"Tyntesfield is a dynamic place with a variety of people volunteering, working or researching at the property.... Memorable experiences of the summer include the filming of Antiques Roadshow on a vary rainy, and the night the fire brigade came three times to respond to false alarms."

Catherine Kahl conducted her internship at Tyntesfield, a relatively recent acquisition (2001) by The National Trust and the site of previous US/ICOMOS Internships.  She conducted research focusing on the aesthetics of the Oxford Movement, a High Church movement that the Gibbs family (historical owners of the estate) subscribed to, and how those aesthetics were reflected in the architecture and contents of the house.

In addition to looking at the architecture--the Victorian Gothic Revival country house and its magnificent chapel--she also examined the ecclesiastical textile collection and the books in the library.
