If you've ever wondered how to best protect the Isle of Man's precious historic buildings, here's your chance to learn from one of the UK's leading experts. Tobit Curteis, a renowned preservation specialist who has worked extensively with Historic England, is visiting the Island later this month to share his knowledge on safeguarding our architectural treasures.

Expert Talk on Protecting Historic Buildings

The Heritage Conservation: Managing Environmental Impacts in Historic Buildings CPD event takes place at the Manx Museum on 22 April 2026. Hosted jointly by the Diocese of Sodor and Man and Manx National Heritage, this professional development session will focus on the environmental factors that affect historic structures—including heat, water, and light—and how to manage them effectively.

Who Should Attend

The event is designed for professionals involved in building conservation and restoration, including architects, engineers, surveyors, and skilled tradesmen. It's an excellent opportunity to gain insights from someone with proven expertise in preserving buildings of significant cultural value.

A Local Case Study

St Thomas' Church in Douglas will serve as a key case study during the talk. Church Building Support Officer Louise Whitelegg and John-Paul Walker, Historic Buildings Architect for Manx National Heritage, highlight the church's location at the bottom of Crellin's Hill as an ideal example for discussing practical preservation challenges and solutions.
