1 #IconTC Conservation in all its guises offers a window on the past with greater tangibility than almost anything else. Be it a @cadwwales castle, a quaint church in the care of @friendschurches, or the objects and monuments in the care of @ShakespeareBT

Just over a fortnight remains until the deadline for applications for @PrincesFound's Building Craft Programme.
The renowned programme, supported by @benefactgroup, trains the next generation of master craftspeople working in construction by strengthening their skills.

Twitter! Can you help?
We have some oil lamps at a church in Monmouthshire that need refurbishment to get them working for a wedding. Does anyone know anyone who knows anything about mending 1890s oil lamps?
Maybe you do @lrbilson ??

We're now about halfway through the construction phase of the Our Town Hall project.
We thought it was a great time to give you a look at the amazing work being done, and what you can expect to see when the building reopens.
