Charles Cooper offers architectural paint research to assist clients with listed building consent and provides an evidence-based insight into the decorative archaeology of an historic building, both internally and externally. Samples are analysed by Lincoln Conservation, at the University of Lincoln, using state of the art microscopic techniques. Paint types, colours and more specialised finishes (e.g. gilding, marbling and graining) are identified and precise historic colours quantified to ensure accurate recreations by ourselves (Charles Cooper)”
Lead Paint - Lead was traditionally added to paint as both a pigment and a drier. Its toxic properties are well known and it wasn’t actually banned from use in paint in the UK until 1992. So clearly there is still a great deal of lead out there trapped in painted surfaces, particularly in historic buildings. As soon as these layers are disturbed by sanding, burning or cutting, lead may be released into the atmosphere presenting a health hazard to workers, owners and the public. We are all protected by the Control of Lead at Work (CLAW) regulations and have a responsibility to know when lead is present and to what extent. In cooperation with our partners, Charles Cooper are able to offer lead paint analysis by X-Ray Fluorescence and Spectroscopy to help provide a complete and safe service for the decoration of historic buildings.

WHY SALVAGE?
At The Architectural Forum, we are very conscious of the importance of reclaiming and salvaging, and the positive impact on our global resources and environment. We believe it is imperative to reclaim, refurbish and reuse as much as possible, as this puts less pressure on resources and stops the items simply going to landfill. With our emphasis on refurbishing and restoring, we are proud to be preserving the valuable skills of yesteryear, and giving antique items a second life and a chance to be appreciated by future generations.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
On the surface, the process of salvaging parts from an old building can seem relatively straightforward, but it is often a very challenging and pressured task, full of complications! Once onsite, Jason and the team often have very little time to recognise and remove the key pieces that are of salvageable and saleable condition. Sometimes, as beautiful and historically interesting as they may be, pieces cannot be saved as they would take far too long to restore, or take too much room in storage.
Once the salvage is removed, they are taken to one of our premises for restoration. Restoration and refurbishment of all iron items, including cast iron fireplace inserts, fixtures and fittings, and cast iron radiators, is done at our workshop in Hertfordshire. Reclaimed stonework is repaired by Architectural Forum's in-house mason. Wooden items are repaired and re-polished, and some may be repurposed or re-crafted into a new item. Old, redundant, Victorian window frames, for example, are up-cycled into charming, large mirrors by glazing them with new mirror glass.
Architectural Forum also has a network of specialist craftspeople who can assist in the restoration of other items, for instance, replacing broken globe lanterns in early Victorian street lamps.
Amazing Grates has a substantial showroom in East Finchley, north London with many fireplaces on display ranging in period from the Georgian era, through the Victorian to the Arts and Crafts, Edwardian and contemporary. We particularly specialise in marble and limestone mantelpieces but these days there is a great emphasis on energy efficient fires be it to burn wood, a carbon neutral process, or highly efficient gas fires. Electric and bio fuel are increasing in popularity too.
Amazing Grates started in the spring of 1979, we had just moved into a substantial house that needed everything – from the foundations up – renovated and updated. We had moved back from the hills of mid Wales restoring furniture to return to the capital with our then 4 young children. The Victorian fireplaces were intact throughout the house but we decided to remove three from the bedrooms and sell them in the antique trade, but no one was interested. Three months later we put an advertisement in the Ham and High local newspaper – the response was wonderful – not only did we receive about 250 replies but in particular we met other people who shared an interest in restoring period houses. Not so commonplace then!
Invitations are also extended to the architects of cathedrals of other denominations and jurisdictions such as Roman Catholic cathedrals, cathedrals in Wales and Scotland and also further afield. We benefit from the contributions of our corresponding members who have a close connection with cathedral work, including archaeology, construction, engineering, environmental services and the conservation of fabric and contents.
The Association engages with national and local bodies that have responsibility for cathedral matters, such as Historic England, the Association of English Cathedrals, and the Cathedrals Fabric Commission for England. The Association periodically runs events with a specific focus on different aspects of cathedral work, such as masonry conservation, innovations in lighting, and training for future cathedral architects.
For all projects we aim to provide an excellent service and value for our clients. We want to contribute to great placemaking, to be instrumental in reducing impact on the natural environment and in sustaining the historic environment.

Would you like a traditional timber frame in your project?
The Carpenters Fellowship is a database of some of the best timber framers around.
Although we're not yet in a position to offer accreditation to our members, it's something we are working towards. In the meantime, we are confident that our members include some of the leading timber frame companies, experienced individual framers, architects, engineers and designers.
People often come to us with stories like this:
'We have an oak framed, single storey extension at the back of our house which lets in water whenever it rains. The building was put up by a local builder who has no experience in timber framed building.'
If you're thinking of having an oak frame, it might help to get in touch with our members first!
Caröe was not only an architect of striking originality and pioneer of building conservation, but also a distinguished designer of furniture, embroidery, metalwork and sculpture.
The rich legacy of the work of W.D. Caröe has never been of greater relevance. The revival of interest in architecture of the Edwardian period and of the 1920s and 1930s has provoked a re-evaluation of the work of those architects, like Caröe, who stood apart from the International Modern Movement to produce 'traditional' architecture.
We draw on the experience of over 300 experts internationally, accelerating progress and providing solutions to this existential crisis. We have supported over 3,000 organisations in 50 countries with their climate action planning, collaborating with 150+ partners in setting science-based targets, and supporting cities across 5 continents on the journey to Net Zero.
We provide solutions to the climate crisis. We support organisations globally as they accelerate towards Net Zero. From target setting, Net Zero pathways, assurance and footprinting, to policy advice, strategy setting and programme delivery, we seek smarter ways to turn intent into impact, where sustainability and economic realities go hand in hand.

The group compiles and maintains the national inventory of historic pub interiors as well as regional inventories, and it is always looking for other posible candidates for inclusion.
A particular joy of the UK's 50,000 or so pubs is their sheer variety.
They range from simple rural pubs to late-Victorian extravaganzas, from the genuinely old to the aggressively modern, from urban back-street boozers, through suburban estate pubs, to picture-postcard rural idylls. All architectural styles are represented, be it Art Nouveau or Art Deco, high Gothic or post-war Brutalist.
What is saddening, though, is how very few of our pub interiors are the same now, or nearly so, as when built. More often than not, you enter a pub with an unspoilt 'period' facade only to find the interior trashed or compromised. CAMRA is wholly committed to protecting our dwindling stock of truly historic pub interiors. Our Pub Heritage Group is made up of CAMRA members passionate about protecting and promoting these interiors. Some Group members are recognised architectural and pub historians. Here is a history of CAMRA's campaign to protect historic pub interiors.
CAMRA places these historic pub interiors in two categories.
Firstly, there is the national inventory of historic pub interiors. This lists those interiors which we regard as being in the 'first division' when it comes to pub preservation priorities. Work on the Inventory, which currently comprises 285 pubs, started in 1991. Entries fall into three categories:
- pubs whose interiors have remained wholly or largely intact since before 1945 or, in some exceptional cases, before 1970.
- interiors which, though altered to an extent, retain exceptional rooms or features which are of national historic importance.
- outstanding pub-type rooms in establishments like hotels or station buffets.
The Regional Inventories of Historic Pub Interiors are the next tier in the pub preservation hierarchy. They list interiors which still have significant historic or architectural value despite the alterations to them.
These Inventories are constantly evolving. Sadly, some pubs currently listed will either close or be ruined despite our best efforts to stop this. Other pubs are known to be at risk – see our list of Historic Pub Interiors in Peril.
More happily, we continue to discover previously unreported interiors deserving inclusion (and we're always eager to hear from anyone who feels a particular pub is worth considering – please email info@pubheritage.camra.org.uk which is also the address for any updates or comments you might wish to share with us)
Historic pub interiors can be accessed on this website in the following ways:
- Search for pubs with historic interiors in a given location, complete with descriptions.
- Select a mini-guide, suitable to be printed, of all historic pub interiors in a particular county
- View a complete list of all pubs in the national inventory of historic pub interiors, suitable to be printed, as a quick reference guide.
Nine Real Heritage Pubs guides have so far been published – for London, East Anglia, North East England, Scotland, Wales, Yorkshire, Midlands, North West England, and South West England. You can purchase copies from the CAMRA bookshop. Further guides will be published in due course. You can also view some Real Heritage Pubs guides for some parts of the UK on this website.
Another of the Group's aims concerns Pubs as Listed Buildings; getting pubs statutorily 'listed' as being of special architectural or historic interest affords them significant protection from insensitive development.
Our website also contains a glossary of architectural terms which commonly arise in pub descriptions plus suggestions for further reading about historic pubs. 'Architrave', 'Corbelling', 'Terrazzo' – what do they mean? Find out in our glossary of architectural terms relevant to pubs.
If you want to be kept regularly up to date on the changes to the status of the national inventory of historic pub interiors, then please join our email mailing list. Monthly bulletins are sent out each month, and are also posted here on this web site.
With a local CPRE group in every county in England, we’re advocating nationwide for the kind of countryside we all want: one with sustainable, healthy communities and available to more people than ever, including those who haven’t benefited before.
We stand for a countryside that enriches all of our lives, regenerating our wellbeing, and that we in turn regenerate, protect and celebrate.
Some people might remember us as ‘The Campaign to Protect Rural England’ – our previous name, and one of several in our long history. We’ve worked for almost a century to support and promote the countryside, and we’ll be doing this for generations to come. That’s why we call ourselves ‘the countryside charity’.
