Building Elements
Historic buildings are constructed from natural materials, which will eventually begin to decay. For some materials such as stone and brick the decay process may be very slow but for others, such as timber and thatch, the process may be much quicker.
It therefore makes sense to try to ensure that the fabric of the
building survives as long as possible by carrying out regular maintenance and
dealing with small repairs as the need arises.
In this section we will look at the various elements that make up the fabric of our historic places of worship. You can use the links on the right-hand menu to find the information you need or you can use our virtual church to help you navigate around.
And if you would like further advice on how to look after your place of worship, don't forget that we provide a technical helpline service ~ just call David John on Fridays on 0207 456 0916!
