Section C

Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set In summary, the objects of the Corpus Vitrearum (Great Britain) are to advance the education of the out in its governing document public in, and to increase the accessibility and understanding of, Great Britain's stained glass heritage by promoting the recording, study and preservation of this historic window glass, and by publishing for the public benefit the useful results of this research.

Summary of the main activities The trustees have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit in deciding the activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation the Corpus Vitrearum (Great Britain) undertakes. The main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to the charity’s objects are three-fold: first, the production of published fully-illustrated to these objects (include within this section volumes on key aspects of Britain’s historic stained glass by leading authorities in the field; second, the statutory declaration that trustees have the maintenance and development of a dedicated, freely-accessed website (www.cvma.ac.uk) hosting had regard to the guidance issued by the an extensive digital picture archive, conservation and restoration information, as well as a wide variety Charity Commission on public benefit) of other resources, including on-line theses on Britain’s stained glass heritage; and third, the production of ‘Vidimus’, a digital magazine presenting stained glass-related features, publications, events and news, featuring contributions from a wealth of scholars, conservationists and other glass ~~experts from both within Britain and the international arena.~~ Additional details of objectives and activities (optional information)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Corpus Vitrearum (Great Britain) continued actively to pursue its aims and is happy to report a number of achievements across 2020. In its printed publications, work continued on the three volumes near publication. The volume on the stained glass of Herkenrode Abbey (Belgium) now for the most part in Lichfield Cathedral has now gone to press. This marks the end of the first major collaboration with a Corpus Vitrearum committee abroad, and the volume has two principal and six subsidiary authors. Larger amounts of documentary material are being published here for the first time, and it is also the first British Corpus Vitrearum volume to be published entirely in colour. It will be available before the end of 2020. The pandemic slowed progress on the other two volumes near publication – the county survey of West Yorkshire and a study of wills and windows – but has recently started up again. The Corpus is confident that the West Yorkshire volume will go into production in the next few months, and that the wills and windows volume, which has more than doubled its projected original size on account of the richness of the material, will shortly be moving into a final editorial phase. Work continues on three county surveys: Norfolk, one of the country’s richest counties for stained glass; Essex; and Kent. Progress on all of these has inevitably been slowed by the pandemic, but their authors are committed to bringing these surveys to fruition. Other studies are also various stages of preparation, including one on St Michael-le-Belfrey, two on York Minster, and one on Winchester Cathedral. An important collaboration with the Swiss Corpus Vitrearum is being planned, with a view to publishing the enormous collection of Swiss stained glass housed in Wragby Church (West Yorkshire). This will be a work of international important, and the largest publication on Swiss stained glass ever. The Corpus Vitrearum’s on-line magaine, Vidimus, was brought under new editorship, and reformulated as a quarterly magazine, rather than a monthly newsletter. This will allow for more substantial treatment of subjects arising from the research of leaders in the stained glass art history and conservation, ensuring our readers learn of the most exciting developments in the field. The Corpus Vitrearum website (www.cvma.ac.uk) and extensive database were also successfully moved to a new host, at significantly lower cost.

Two meetings of the charity’s trustees were held via Zoom conferencing in March and September 2020, in order to ensure that current projects stayed happily on course, and discussions took place to explore the best ways of ensuring the Corpus Vitrearum will continue to optimise its print and digital activities to meet its aims and objectives

Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the The very limited funds available to the Corpus Vitrearum (Great Britain) to spend freely on its activities
charity’s policy on reserves (currently totalling around £5, 000 per annum) mean that it is not reasonable or practical to set money
aside as a reserve. The charity’s major and most expensive activities, namely the production of its print
volumes and of its on-line magazine, are funded primarily through the securing of grants specifically for
these purposes and the funds ring-fenced for these purposes only. The limited general funds are deployed
to support these activities at the heart of the charity (for example, to cover authors’ basic travel expenses)
and to maintain the charity’s website. There are habitually more potential demands on the charity’s funds
in supporting these central activities than there are funds available. Claims on the charity’s funds are
discussed and approved by the trustees at bi-annual meetings and by the chair of trustees.
Details of any funds materially in deficit No funds are in deficit
Further financial review details (optional information)
You may choose to include additional
information, where relevant, about:
• the charity’s principal sources of funds
(including any fundraising);
• how expenditure has supported the key
objectives of the charity;
• investment policy and objectives including
any ethical investment policy adopted.
