DESCRIPTION:The barn welcomes the poet laureate\, Simon Armitage\, who's
	hoping organ restorer David Burville can revive his treasuredharmonium\, t
	he subject of one of his poems. For Simon\, theinstrument holds precious m
	emories of his late father Peter\, acreative man who encouraged Simon's ow
	n artistic journey. Theharmonium was originally in their local church in W
	estYorkshire where both father and son were choristers. Now Simonwants the
	 harmonium restored to not only rekindle memories ofhis dad but also strik
	e a more contemporary note. David sets towork so that when Simon returns t
	o the barn with his band\, theexperts are treated to a nostalgic but moder
	n performance.Nextto arrive is Valerie from Pontefract with a pair of chil
	d'sleather clogs to test the craftsmanship of fellowYorkshireman\, cobbler
	 Dean Westmoreland. The clogs belonged toValerie's sister Iris who\, in 19
	46\, was born at least sixweeks premature. With her chances of survival sl
	im\, she wasfed with a little dropper. Although she continued to haveprobl
	ems with her health and mobility\, against all the oddsIris survived. When
	 she was around four years old\, theirmother bought the little clogs to he
	lp Iris with her balance\,but the little girl hated them so much that she 
	threw them inthe fire. Burned and no longer usable\, the shoes sat on them
	antelpiece for the next 40 years. After their mother died\,Iris kept them 
	on her own mantelpiece having never got over theguilt of upsetting their m
	um. The tiny shoes carry so muchweight that Dean has his work cut out brin
	ging them back tolife for Valerie.Next\, seeking the sculptural skills ofK
	irsten Ramsay\, is Martin with a precious memento thatchronicles an extrao
	rdinary life. As a 27-year-old ceramics andsculpture student in Czechoslov
	akia\, Martin's mother Verabefriended a fellow student sculptor called Mil
	os Axman. Thebroken sculpture that Martin has brought to the barn was made
	by Axman in 1947 and depicts his mother as a young woman.Before her studie
	s\, at the beginning of the Second World Warwhen the Germans took over Cze
	choslovakia\, Vera had been sentto work in an ammunitions factory in Berli
	n. She had planned anescape with two male friends but when caught crossing
	 theborder\, her companions had been shot dead. Vera was tried inNuremberg
	 and given a life sentence but was freed from prisonin 1945. The sculpture
	 is an important repair for ceramicsexpert Kirsten Ramsay\, aided by woodw
	ork whizz Will Kirk\, whoturns his own artistic hand to sculpting a new oa
	k base.
