Our objectives

The Church Monuments Society was founded in 1979 and offers a focus for all who have an interest in church monuments of all types and periods. It was conceived to encourage the appreciation, study and conservation of church monuments both in the UK and abroad.

The Society organises biennial symposia, annual study days, an AGM, at least three excursions a year and some additional ad hoc events. The Society publishes an annual academic journal ‘Church Monuments’ and a less formal, informative twice yearly Newsletter. These publications are provided free to members, but may be purchased separately.

Please note that the Church Monuments Society is not able to offer grant aid.
