The Church Recording group of TAS Farnham has been active for over 25 years.

Having recently finished our work at St.John's, Churt we have now moved on to All Saints, Tilford.

For more information about the Tilford Record 

Church Recorders work as a team at a local church, researching, documenting and photographing items within the building, recording memorials, metalwork, stonework, woodwork, textiles, paintings, books, and windows. 

When the Record is finished, a bound copy is presented to the church and digital copies are available in national and local records: the V & A National Art Library, Church Care (for the Church of England) and The Surrey History Centre.

Church Recording – what you need to know  

As well as being a source of tremendous pleasure and interest, Church Records have many benefits.

• They provide a permanent archive of the church’s contents at the time of recording

• They help researchers in the fields of art, craft, design and architecture as well as local and social history

• They build the Church’s awareness of their possessions and heritage

•  Insurance companies may use Records to identify items

Our Church Recorders are affiliated to the Church Recording Society, the National Society for Church Recording.

As always, we welcome new members. Please email us for moreinformation farnhamcrec@gmail.com

One of our previous churches, St Mark’s, has been given Grade II listed status by English Heritage for its wonderful mural paintings by Kitty Milroy. There are photographs of the murals and details of viewing times on the Parish website
