Realised the allotment cat was not dead, the weird wounds/lost fur on its arms from when we saw it last had healed up, is still as much of a tart for attention as ever
(Muppets Christmas carol voice) "And allotment cat, who did *not * die..."
Well, I didn't see it personally but my wife facetimed me

Belated AABC 2025 conference photos from Bradford Cathedral. The varying tooling patterns between different faces of the stones in the 20th century extension probably distracted/upset me more than it should.

Okay I have like... twenty minutes but a lot of y'all noted the church on yesterday's house so, let's talk about deconsecration! I will end the thread with some fun church conversions currently for sale, as little a treat
I mainly wonder if there is a special procedure to deconsecrate a church. And what’s the advantage over just leaving it consecrated

Assorted pictures from the SPABs Repairs of Old Buildings course from last week. A mix of lectures and site visits to live sites. Lectures on materials by masons, specialist brickwork contractors and timber conservation specialists of particular value. Now to decode some of my handwritten notes.
