Do you know your astragals from your blind fenestration?
- a new website to increase knowledge of Church maintenance
| A unique new website www.maintainyourchurch.org.uk
will be officially launched on 20th November at
St Patrick's Church, Edinburgh.
This new website will offer advice, guidance and
knowledge on successful church maintenance. |
|
A partnership between the Church
of Scotland, Scottish Episcopal Church, Bishops' Conference
of Scotland and Historic
Scotland the website will offer all those who
deal with church building maintenance an opportunity
to access relevant information and take part in a discussion
form, regardless of denomination. The website will present
a number of learning modules
covering topics such as types of church buildings and
good church housekeeping. A series of
toolkit modules will provide answers to problems
generally experienced in maintaining a church and information
about architectural features found in Scottish churches.
A special feature of the site is a discussion area
where those involved with church maintenance can discuss
their maintenance problems and provide the solutions
to any questions.
With at least 2000 church buildings in Scotland, of
which 1400 belong to the Church of Scotland, the new
website is welcomed by all who are involved with care
and welfare of these important structures.
Ends.
