 ‘PARISH STUDIES TODAY’ – CALL FOR MATERIAL For its tenth anniversary in May 2012, the Warwick Symposium on parish studies is casting its net wide – wider than we can list here, but if you’ve been involved in any church or parish initiative (academic or practical, or anything in between), you might like to look on their website at: www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/history/calendar/parishsymposium/2012/

CAST IRON MEMORIALS Has anyone done a study of cast iron memorials? We recently received an enquiry about these, and were unable to be of much help. Contact Trevor Cooper in the first instance at cooper@ecclsoc.org
 
Request for Material for Planned Exhibition at Tate Modern
Professor Nigel Llewellyn writes:
"
I am writing on behalf of a research team at Tate engaged in planning an exhibition for Tate Britain in two or three year's time.  The focus of the show will be British Art c.1660-c.1730 and we would dearly love to be able to exhibit some monumental sculpture.  For obvious reasons, such material is rarely available for loan.  Do any CMS members know of any significant monument that is currently undergoing restoration or removal, or will be undergoing restoration or removal and which might therefore become available for loan?
 If anyone has any ideas, please get in touch. Professor Nigel Llewellyn Head of Research, Tate and CMS member Nigel.Llewellyn@tate.org.uk
