AIM Pilgrim Trust collections care audit – David Parr House

The application process was straight forward and an important exercise in considering the conservation priorities for the House. This grant was critically important in supporting the condition audit, an activity that is important but not easily funded, creating a report which then acts as a benchmark for the monitoring of the walls going forward.

With the first review in 2016, followed by a substantial conservation programme in 2018, all prior to public opening, this piece of work has delivered a report that underpins the collection management strategy for the care of the painted walls. It also gives us the detailed and specific information we need for future funding applications, which will be essential in achieving the care and conservation recommendations made.
