Design project stories: Learning from past projects

As part of our Discovering strand of research, we held workshops at eight historic places of worship across England where a design project had been completed in recent years.

These projects revealed a wealth of knowledge and ideas about how those who look after historic places of worship are using design, from the smallest detail to large scale change, to improve the quality of their buildings and better serve their communities.

The stories in this section capture the development of each design project from the emerging need and vision and how they engaged with others in the process, through to the key design changes. Each story also features reflections and top tips from the groups, providing advice and inspiration to anyone planning a project to improve their historic faith building.
