Quietly, consistently, steadily...

...saving the wallpaintings at Church of St John the Baptist, Inglesham

We have been conserving the wallpaintings here for the past 20 years with conservator Jane Rutherfoord.

The wallpaintings are so extensive and in need of much care that this project could be run every year - provided funding is available.

So, what next?

Year on year, we try to raise money to carry on the conservation work. Once we have raised the funds, we would like to:

• Part-fund a full academic monogroaph of the full works on the wallpaintings
• Carry out a much more detailed study of the multi-layers of medieval wallpainting in the north aisle. In order to do this we need a specially mounted stereo-microscope
• Carry out more conservation work to stabilise the 13th century ‘censing angels’ over the chancel arch

The cost of such specialist conservation is not small - approximately £30,000 would go a long way towards this work.
