Abstract

The repair of english ancient monuments: two case studies I. Hume Conservation Engineering Branch, English Heritage, UK INTRODUCTION. The English Heritage philosophy for the conservation and repair of ancient monuments, historic buildings and other historic structures in England is to conserve as found whilst carrying out the minimum work possible to the fabric in order to maintain its structural stability. The main aim is generally to conserve the building as found rather than to restore it to some previous state however scholarly that restoration might be. This paper will illustrate this philosophy using two case studies of structural repairs carried out under the direction of the author. Both structures are, in their own way, important English ancient monuments CASTLE BOLTON, NORTH YORKSHIRE. General description.
