Morris was particularly concerned about the practice, which he described as "forgery", of attempting to restore buildings to an idealised state from the distant past. Instead, he proposed that ancient buildings should be protected, not restored, so that their entire history would be preserved. Today, SPAB still operates according to Morris's original manifesto. It publishes books, and runs courses and a telephone advice line. The Society also has a branch in Scotland . EXTERNAL LINK |
