With thanks to those who have supported or are continuing to support the Taking Stock project.
Without the generous financial support and encouragement from Historic England (and, in Wales, the Albert Gubay Charitable Foundation) the project would not have been possible. Thanks are particularly due to Sarah Brown of English Heritage, who initiated the project, and to Linda Monckton of Historic England, who saw it through. Also to Sophie Andreae, Vice-Chair of the Patrimony Committee of the Bishops’ Conference, for her support throughout the project.
Entries for the Diocese of Arundel & Brighton were for the most part written by Nicholas Antram and Teresa Sladen. Entries for all other dioceses were written by The Architectural History Practice (project leader Andrew Derrick), using in-house staff and expert subcontractors.
Historic England are the public body that champions and protects England's historic places.
AHP is a research-based heritage consultancy specialising in advice on listed buildings and historic places.
The images used throughout the Taking Stock website have been taken from the diocesan architectural audits. We have also, in places, used professionally taken images.
