Yesterday, I met up with my EH work colleagues, both staff and volunteers for a walk around the #Staffordshire village of #Brewood, close to #Boscobel. We started at St Mary’s catholic church, which has a fascinating history

All the kneeling, working in dark corners, laying under tables inspecting woodwork damage etc is worth it for the view at dusk #heritage #conservation #boscobel #shropshire

And of course, there’s acres of wainscot panelling and 19th century frieze that needs close brush work. Initially you don’t think it makes a difference but you notice it when it’s all finished #heritage #conservation #boscobel #shropshire

It’s conservation week at work, a deep clean of the house, furniture and other collection items. This year I’ve had the pleasure to work on some of the smaller items, ceramic, metal, glass and paper #heritage #conservation #boscobel #shropshire
