Nicholas Dixon November 2018 ii Thesis Summary The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, c. 1800-1837 Nicholas Andrew Dixon Pembroke College, Cambridge This thesis examines the various ways in which the Church of England engaged with English politics and society from c. 1800 to 1837. Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830.

  • Building Performance

    Building Performance

    Building Performance Environmental assessments to support the use and development of cathedrals and church buildings Cathedrals are complex buildings typically incorporating not only a church constructed over many years, but also ancillary structures of various periods and functions. To fulfil the Church’s mission, these buildings must support a vast range of activities; from worship, education and community support, to tourism and the display of museum-quality collections. This imposes great technical demands and at times conservation may conflict with use. Building performance assessment is a critical tool to successful management, bringing together information not only about the fabric and the microclimate, but also about the services (especially the heating), and current and future uses. By understanding how a building is performing, day-to-day management can be more effective, care and conservation can be more sustainable, and the risks and running costs of alterations minimised. This conference brings together a range of experts, to explore the assessment of building performance and the control of internal microclimates. It will include a forum to discuss ways of making such assessments possible, and of sharing information and experience. The focus will be on the complex case of cathedrals, but it will also be of interest to those working with environmental problems in greater churches, smaller parish churches, and other types of historic buildings.
