Symposium on conservation of artworks in churches

Symposium
The challenges of the conservation of artworks in churches

The Church Buildings Council (Church of England) is organising an
international forum to discuss the complex issues that impact on the
conservation and display of unique artworks in churches. This event
will allow the opportunity to reflect on conservation projects
currently being carried out in various European countries. Our aim
is to promote wider discussion within our sector and share best
practice.

The Symposium will be hosted by Westminster Abbey and the programme
includes a tour of the Abbey with visit of current projects
(including ongoing works to the 14th century Coronation Chair and
the recently conserved 13th century Cosmati pavement).

Please note that due to the size of the venue and nature of the
event, places will be very limited. Early booking is strongly
encouraged. Information (and a booking form) can be found at
