... meaning that Historic England would make the decisions not CofE. This would result in more rigid regulation with no capacity to allow for mission. The proposal for "opinion-shopping" is really shoddy thinking. Shocking stuff. @Ecclsoc followers to see & react please. 2/2

This is a wonderful and comprehensive resource. Congrats to all who helped prepare it. Should help grow the community of people discovering the joys & wealth of historical research.
Building on research from the A City Full of People: #Wren300 project, which delves into the lives of everyday Londoners, historians Dr. Rebecca Preston & Dr. Susan Skedd have developed a free toolkit to help you embark on your own historical investigations in various parishes.
