At EarthStone we aspire to the high principles of conservation.
-
The historic environment is a shared resource
-
Everyone should be able to participate in sustaining the historic environment
-
Understanding the significance of places is vital
-
Significant places should be managed to sustain their values
-
Decisions about change must be reasonable, transparent and consistent
-
Documenting and learning from decisions is essential
We also adhere to the 'Principles of Conservation' in our work
These principles have been set out in International Charters. They are:
• Minimum intervention
• Repair rather than replace
• Honesty of repairs & alterations
• Use appropriate materials & methods
• Respect earlier alterations • Conservation is not Restoration
• Reversibility of work
