A child's dress from the 1870s, part of the costume collection of Swansea Museum, was needed for display in the Museum's galleries. An attractive item, the dress was largely in sound condition apart from damage to its lace trim. A fine gauge net backing was used to support the fragmentary lace so that the garment could be safely displayed and enjoyed.

In 2020 an extensive project was undertaken to conserve the private library, archive and study of Cardinal Newman at Birmingham Oratory. Among the objects needing conservation was a baldacchino made from silk fabric and wool fringe on a brass frame, suspended from the ceiling of the study over the altar. A video detailing the Cardinal Newman project can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TLjnrJABnw - the baldacchino is shown at 7.40.

This project involved the conservation treatment and technical analysis of an early sixteenth century panel painting ‘The Madonna and Child, with Infant Saint John’, attributed to a pupil or an artist in the ‘circle of’ Florentine Master Domenico Puligo, from the collection of OnFife (Fife Cultural Trust).

17 paintings, ranging from the mid 19th century to the early 21st century, were conserved for display in the newly re-designed and developed Paisley Museum, which is set to re-open in 2023.

A library style binding with partially detached covers.

This is a seventh century Bible that was found stored in a cupboard in relatively damp conditions. A condition assessment was vital in order to assess the overall condition of the volume and to establish if there was evidence of mould. There was no evidence of mould but the paper text block had traces of water damage. The text block was in fairly good condition with minor tears and creases. The sewing was intact and the cover was attached front and back. There was a tear in the joint of the endpaper but the original endpaper was still intact.

The octagonal font was made at the beginning of the xx century and it is made of Caen stone and alabaster. The entire font was precarious and it required urgent attention for safety reasons.

The Stations of the Cross were donated to St Paul’s church by ‘the (then) local editor of The Mid Sussex Times in memory of his parents, Charles and Anne Hayden’ in 1934. They are thought to have been produced in the North of France. The main reason to undertake a conservation campaign was that heavy dirt build-ups were severely obscuring the fine elements of the bas-relief of the stations.
