Caring for the contents of your church

Churches are major repositories of a wide range of significant historic and artistic objects. Unlike domestic items of comparable age, many of these are still in continuous use. While conservation and maintenance issues should be taken into account when using, handling, storing and displaying objects, it should also be remembered that these precious items were meant to be used in the context of worship.

Conservation, together with appropriate and informed care, will ensure that the contents of your church will survive to fulfil that function. These notes, which are supported by Ecclesiastical, are intended to help you care for your church's objects, and assess what you can do yourself and when you need specialist help. Your architect will also be able to advise you.
