Abstract
The dramatic increase in visitors to large English churches during the past decade has led to an increased deterioration of those structures. Floors and ledger stones have suffered the most, although brasses are also endangered. Fawcett presents case histories -- damages, dangers, protective actions, and restorations -- of St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Canterbury Cathedral, and St. George's Chapel.
