At Buckingham Palace, our care in sourcing new stone addressed a problem that had been unresolved for over 150 years. At Clifford's Tower, every damaged stone was tested and every one retained, because history lives in the surface of historic materials.
On site we encourage close collaboration with conservators and specialist trades. We give talks and lectures, host study visits for trainee architects, surveyors and conservationists, and keep training ourselves, on SPAB courses and working parties, at West Dean and in The National Archives.
