Supplier to provide description of Proposed Heritage

display area with information boards.

It is anticipated that many of these objects will be cleaned and conserved in the same way concluding with different final finishing methods;

1. A dry soft brush with vacuum cleaning to remove any loose dust and debris.

2. Gentle wet clean to remove stubborn dirt. This will be carried out using a choice of either deionised water and cotton buds, or a quick evaporating alcohol applied using cotton buds. Some of the objects may require more than one wet cleaning application, especially the heavily stained marble plaques.

3. With conservation of the two wood sea chests - it is important to retain the patina, so any wet cleaning must be carried out with care and this work should perhaps be subcontracted to a specialist furniture conservator.

3. Once fully dry any consolidation can be carried out - treatment for woodworm, wood rot and in some case paint flaking should be done. It is not intended to undertake any repair and restoration i.e. replacing missing text from marble plaques.

4. The painted coat of arms and the painted section of the Thomas Player Armiger plaque will require sympathetic restoration of some sections of paint.

6. NOTE: The Ten Commandments boards will be dry brushed and vacuum cleaned ONLY. These are fragile.

7. All the pews are painted to imitate oak. They must all be dry vacuum cleaned then carefully wet cleaned using water, detergent and soft cloths. Protective clothing and accessories will be required as there are bird droppings in the gallery pews area.

Woodworm and rot treatment is also required in some areas. In some places there are original paper orders of service stuck to the pew backs. These must be conserved and protected by the use of small Perspex covers set away from the paper therefore allowing air to flow through. Once the pews are dry from their wet cleaning a conservation grade wax will be applied. (Two applications may be required.) Applied using soft cloths and brushes.
