Working from Home: English Heritage Style
While English Heritage’s historic properties across the country remain closed, its curators, gardeners and conservators have gone the extra mile when it comes to working from home.

Historic windows which have witnessed and illuminated some of our most renowned history, from the attempted escape of Charles I and the revolutionary experiments of Charles Darwin to the final days of Queen Victoria, are now at risk, English Heritage warned today (28 September), as the charity revealed the catalogue of threats causing the decline of windows in England’s most significant historic buildings. From the heat and the rain, to the shortage of heritage carpentry skills and the varying quality of modern wood, these historic artefacts are beginning to deteriorate and decay. Over one million pounds’ worth of repairs will be needed in the next five years and English Heritage has today launched an appeal to support the conservation of these irreplaceable emblems of ancient skill and craftsmanship.
