Helping conserve William Butterfield’s grave-slab

The bicentenary of the birth of architect William Butterfield takes place on 7 September 2014, and the Ecclesiological Society is seeking donations to help it restore the simple coped grave-slab at Tottenham Cemetery that he designed for himself

The Society wants to re-engrave the lettering using best modern conservation practice so that it may still be read for some generations to come, and to carry it out in time for the bicentenary.

The cost is expected to be in the order of £1,800. Funds are coming in but more assistance is needed.

If you would like to make a contribution donations by cheque may be made out to the ‘Ecclesiological Society’ and sent to Dr Geoff Brandwood, 2 Rothesay Avenue, Richmond-on-Thames TW10 5EA (tel: 0208 878 4777 if you wish to discuss any aspect of the project), and include your email address so he can acknowledge and keep you abreast of progress.
