Church Recording for NADFAS is "making a record of the contents of the church - windows, memorials, woodwork, stonework, textiles etc.  It is a very accurate, careful and well-researched record of the contents at that time. It is a record, rather than a historical study.  The details of measurements, content, design, designer, date are taken, and then written up in a very precise format.  The group only records what they see and do not make artistic or quality judgments.

Primarily, the record is for the church.  Photocopies are given to the Diocesan Archives and  the libraries of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Council for the Care of Churches and NADFAS. A set of photographs is also lodged with the Council for the Care of Churches."

Our first recording of St. Saviour Church, Aston-by-Stone took two years to complete and was presented to the Archdeacon of Stoke-on-Trent at the Harvest Festival service on Sunday 8th October 2006.

Our small but dedicated band of recorders have now started recording St Mary's, Ingestre.
