The churches in the Wickford and Runwell Team Ministry have recently featured as a case study in the Gods' Collections research project. Places of worship of all traditions have always accumulated collections. Today some have generated great art museums, while others just keep a few old things in a sacristy cupboard. The Gods' Collections project looks at why and how these collections have developed, how they have been looked after, and how understanding of them has changed over the millennia.
The case study explores the artworks found within St Andrew's, St Catherine's and St Mary's churches and considers some of the ways in which such works can be publicised, including the use of art trails as used previously in the Barking Episcopal Area and the City of London.

In addition to this case study, I have also written a case study on the art collection of St Martin-in-the-Fields based on a tour of the site which I originally developed for the Friends of St Martin-in-the-Fields.
This case study sets the commissions programme at St Martin-in-the-Fields in the wider context of the renewal of sacred art within the twentieth century. The case study also develops further, articles originally written for Artlyst and Art+Christianity.
