providing 11 articles on a range of essential conservation issues by
leading specialists.

Maintaining historic churches remains a perennial issue.  In an
article on funding, annual expenditure of the Church of England on
its buildings is estimated to be UKP107 million, far short of the
UKP175 million required.  Another article outlines an innovative
approach that makes the most of limited resources.  With the help of
the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, small groups of
neighbouring churches are coming together to form maintenance
co-operatives, saving time and money by sharing equipment and
expertise.

Technical articles in this edition include the conservation of fine
brasswork, the use of permeable finishes for interior decoration and
the installation of protective glazing at York Minster as part of
one of Europe's largest and most complex conservation projects.  The
historic significance of our ecclesiastical heritage is highlighted
in articles on ledger stones, medieval corbel carvings, and Russia's
wooden churches.

Historic Churches is a full colour magazine published annually by
Cathedral Communications.  6,000 copies are printed and distributed
throughout the UK each year.  The digital edition extends its
readership to all who care for historic places of worship worldwide.
