Can you video record the unique conservation project of Montagu Monuments, which are 18th century memorial sculptures, in St Edmund’s Church in Northamptonshire? Work starts in February, so this placement’s needed ASAP!  Organisers say it’s an ideal project for a media student or recent graduate …

… please email: cathie.clarke@heritageskillshub.org She said: “A DVD is being created to provide a visual record of the Montagu Monuments and to mark the start of the project. 
There is also the opportunity to gain exposure to other elements of the project including the exterior works to drainage, ironworks and hands-on cleaning of the monuments. This placement will start later in the Spring, although expressions of interest are sought now. This project will be of interest to a building conservation student or recent graduate or post-graduate looking to enhance their specialist work portfolio. Site management will be undertaken by Skillingtons who are the contractor responsible for the project, although Project Management of the work placements will be managed by the Heritage Skills HUB with support from the Prince’s Regeneration Trust and Skillingtons. Funding is available for accommodation, transport and subsistence.”
