Church Recorders are NADFAS volunteers who make records of the
contents of our national churches, thereby promoting the recognition and
preservation of the rich artistic heritage to be found in places of
worship of all religions.
They record memorials, metalwork,
stonework, woodwork, textiles, paintings, library, windows and
miscellaneous items. The items are described in detail and their history
researched. All the material is then compiled into a book illustrated with
photographs and drawings. This record is presented to the church and
copies are sent to national institutions to form part of a heritage
archive.
The EDFAS Church Recording Group is currently working on the record of St John the Baptist's Church in Fladbury.
Among many interesting features, the church is notable for its stained glass windows designed by Frederick Preedy.
Anyone interested in the work of the group is invited to contact the Group Leader, (see Contacts).
