ABSTRACT England’s East Anglian region has c.550 late-medieval screens still in their original churches, one of Northern Europe’s most significant in situ collections of medieval panel painting. The churches are managed by non-specialist volunteers and are not museums. In many, congregations are shrinking and long-term sustainability will involve varying uses of the building. The buildings and their collections are at risk from, among other factors, weather, groundwater, fire, heat, moisture, light, pollutants and pests, as well as vandalism and theft. The same threats affect screens, causing flaking paint, microbiological growth, insect damage and photodegradation. A collaborative programme was forged between the Hamilton Kerr Institute, University of Cambridge, specialists in medieval panel painting conservation, and Tobit Curteis Associates, specialists in environmental deterioration in historic buildings, supported by the Church of England’s Cathedral and Church Buildings Division. This project aimed to bridge the gap between the conservation of sensitive artefacts and the conservation of the buildings in which they are situated. A methodology, utilising materials analysis, environmental monitoring and building and object surveys, was devised for the assessment of the deterioration of screens and their churches to produce holistic recommendations. Through a pilot study, solutions that are passive, cost effective, innovative and sustainable are being implemented.

东安格利亚的中世纪 Rood 屏风：在不受控制的教堂环境中保护敏感的彩绘艺术品

摘要英格兰的东安格利亚地区有大约 550 块中世纪晚期的屏风，仍然保留在其原始教堂中，这是北欧最重要的中世纪面板绘画原地收藏之一。教堂由非专业志愿者管理，不是博物馆。在许多情况下，会众正在萎缩，长期的可持续性将涉及建筑物的不同用途。建筑物及其收藏品面临天气、地下水、火、热、湿气、光、污染物和害虫以及故意破坏和盗窃等因素的风险。同样的威胁会影响屏幕，导致油漆剥落、微生物生长、昆虫破坏和光降解。剑桥大学汉密尔顿克尔研究所、中世纪面板绘画保护专家和 Tobit Curteis Associates 之间制定了一项合作计划，历史建筑环境恶化方面的专家，由英格兰教会的大教堂和教堂建筑部提供支持。该项目旨在弥合敏感文物的保护与其所在建筑物的保护之间的差距。设计了一种利用材料分析、环境监测以及建筑和物体调查的方法来评估屏幕及其教堂的恶化情况，以提出整体建议。通过试点研究，正在实施被动、具有成本效益、创新和可持续的解决方案。该项目旨在弥合敏感文物的保护与其所在建筑物的保护之间的差距。设计了一种利用材料分析、环境监测以及建筑和物体调查的方法来评估屏幕及其教堂的恶化情况，以提出整体建议。通过试点研究，正在实施被动、具有成本效益、创新和可持续的解决方案。该项目旨在弥合敏感文物的保护与其所在建筑物的保护之间的差距。设计了一种利用材料分析、环境监测以及建筑和物体调查的方法来评估屏幕及其教堂的恶化情况，以提出整体建议。通过试点研究，正在实施被动、具有成本效益、创新和可持续的解决方案。
