For a relatively small memorial this one presents quite a few challenges. It’s of alabaster, late 16th century, and set in All Saints church, Mackworth, Derbyshire. The church was gutted by fire a few years ago and is now undergoing a major restoration. This monument has been baked by the fire and then exposed to the elements for several years. None of these conditions great for alabaster! So we’re to be consolidating and cleaning the monument after dismantling it, and reinstating once the wall is repaired and the roof back on.

НУ Стоби ја продолжува конзервацијата на архитектонските остатоци од Теодосијанската палата, еден од најрепрезентативните доцноантички резиденцијални комплекси во античкиот град.

Годинешната кампања ќе биде насочена кон конзервација на пет ѕида, како дел од долгорочните активности за стабилизација, заштита и зачувување на споменикот.

Конзерваторските работи ќе ги изведуваат стручни лица од Skillington Workshop од Обединетото Кралство, од Balkan Heritage Foundation oд Бугарија, како и тимот на НУ Стоби.

Проектот се реализира од страна на НУ Стоби во партнерство со Balkan Heritage Foundation (Бугарија), со финансиска поддршка од The J.M. Kaplan Fund (САД) и Ancient Rome Live (Италија).

Оваа меѓународна соработка ги обединува археолошкото истражување, архитектонската документација и непосредната конзервација со заедничка цел – долгорочно зачувување на Теодосијанската палата за идните генерации.

NI Stobi continues the conservation of the architectural remains of the Theodosian Palace, one of the most representative Late Antique residential complexes in the ancient city.

This year’s campaign will focus on the conservation of five walls, as part of the long-term effort to stabilize, protect, and preserve the monument.

Specialists from Skillington Workshop, United Kingdom, will carry out the conservation work alongside the Balkan Heritage Foundation and the NI Stobi team.

The project is implemented by NI Stobi in partnership with the Balkan Heritage Foundation (Bulgaria), with financial support from the The J.M. Kaplan Fund (USA) and Ancient Rome Live (Italy).

This international collaboration unites archaeological research, architectural documentation, and hands-on conservation with the shared goal of the Theodosian Palace's long-term preservation for future generations.

This has been a lovely job to have been part of. Thanks to the FoFC for taking the project on. David’s also been working at Halifax Minster, with its Ann Lister connections, which nicely complements our work at Lightcliffe.

King’s College Chapel Cambridge is such an amazing place to work and it always feels like a privilege to be here. We are just starting another phase of consolidation works to historic plaster in the roof space walk ways, as well as surveying the memorial brass to John Argentein (d.1507).
