Insurance, health and safety
Your church needs to be safe for the protection of worshipers, visitors and employees. We can help you identify the hazards, assess the risks and take action.
Introducing new art in churches
Art has been part of church life for centuries, and art in our churches takes many forms. It helps us connect with God and reflect our faith. New art should always be created for a specific place in your church building, and with an understanding of its purpose in supporting people’s faith. We can guide you through the process of commissioning new art for your church.

Managing conservation projects
Conserving artworks and historic objects is a complex process. It involves contracting specialised professionals, commissioning surveys, and getting your permissions and funding. We can take you through the steps of a conservation project.
Monumental brasses
Monumental brasses are one of the most common forms of memorial surviving from the Middle Ages, and a good number survive in our churches.
It is important not to overclean brasses, which can cause irreversible damage to the design. Make sure to inspect them regularly.
