About this Event

The Society for Church Archaeology is pleased to announce its annual conference for 2026. Church archaeology is an increasingly broad field of study, with traditional methods being complemented by new approaches and audiences. Advances in archaeological techniques present new opportunities for studying both upstanding and buried remains, whilst the transformation of ecclesiastical buildings in the 21st century is supported by a wealth of methodologies both in terms of investigating the past and presenting this to a range of audiences. The papers presented during this year’s annual conference reflects this diversity.

The keynote lecture will be given by Prof Howard Williams. A walking tour of Chester churches will take place on Sunday, 1st November. For more information, please see our website, https://www.churcharchaeology.org/current-conference
