Worth knowing
Worth checking before work starts
A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.
Listed buildings
In England, work to a listed building that would affect its character needs listed building consent first. It is a criminal offence to do such work without it.
Headstones in churchyards
In a Church of England churchyard, there is no automatic right to a memorial. Permission must be given before one is put in place, and the diocese's regulations set its size, materials and wording.
Cleaning old stone
