RECORDERS

Church Recorders are NADFAS volunteers who make records of the contents and internal fabric of our national churches. These records help to preserve the rich artistic heritage to be found in places of worship of all religions. Items are described in detail and their history researched. All the material is then compiled into a book, illustrated with photographs and drawings. The records are given to the church and copies are sent to national institutions such as the National Monuments Record at English Heritage, The Council for the Care of Churches, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the relevant county record office. Over the last 30 years NADFAS societies in the UK and abroad have recorded over 1,000 churches. These records are of interest to experts in fine arts and historians and in addition help to restore or recover objects which become damaged or lost.

Haslemere DFAS is in the process of forming a group to record St. Christopher's Church, Haslemere. There will be an inaugural meeting at 10.30 a.m. on 21st January, 2009. Anyone interested in coming to the meeting or wanting more information, please email us:
