About this event
A talk by Rachel Sycamore. Chests were very important items of medieval furniture, with many extant in churches today. Rachel Sycamore provides an insight into the different types of church chests, what they were used for, and what they meant to people in medieval society. She also shares a few of her conservation journeys in preserving church chests for the future. Rachel Sycamore, a local Furniture Restorer and Conservator, and Furniture Adviser to the Hereford Diocese, recorded many church chests in Herefordshire and Worcestershire as part of her Masters Degree over three years. She continues to restore domestic furniture in her Malvern workshop, but her passion lies in conserving church chests in Herefordshire and the surrounding counties, whilst continuing to record them around England. Everyone welcome, free to members, guests £7
