Church Building Maintenance

Guide to the Maintenance of Historic Church Buildings

• A comprehensive Guide to the Maintenance of Historic Church Buildings was produced as part of the 2019 – 2020 ‘A Stitch in Time’ project support by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
• Annual surveys and maintenance plans are explained in this guide, but for quick reference the links are also provided below. 
• There is also an excellent series of short videos on church maintenance.  These have been created by the SPAB and can be viewed via the website on the page Maintenance Matters or direct on YouTube
