Historic Churches

This annual publication provides a range of articles on key issues by leading conservators, academics, clergy, volunteers and charity staff who care for and promote the UK’s magnificent ecclesiastical heritage.

Beautifully illustrated in full colour throughout, the magazine will be of interest to all who are involved in the maintenance and conservation of churches, chapels and other places of worship or who have an interest in the precious legacy of their history and craftsmanship.

The 26th edition of Historic Churches is due to be published this summer and will be available in a free digital edition, coming soon. The 25th edition can be viewed here.
