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: • policy on grantmaking; • policy programme related investment; • contribution made by volunteers.


	Section D	Achievements and performance
	Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year	~~The Corpus Vitrearum (Great Britain) is happy to report that 2021 saw the project continue to pursue~~ its aims of increasing the accessibility and understanding of Britain’s rich stained glass heritage, through the production of expert-researched publications; the maintenance and development of an
		extensive website and picture archive; and the regular publication of an engaging on-line stained glass
		magazine, “Vidimus”. In its printed publications, the volume on the stained glass of Herkenrode
		Abbey (Belgium), now for the most part in Lichfield Cathedral, was successfully published, as the
		British CVMA’s first all-colour publication. This marks the end of the first major collaboration with a
		Corpus Vitrearum committee abroad. Of the two volumes near publication - the county survey of
		West Yorkshire and a study of wills and windows – although work on West Yorkshire continues to be
		hampered by the closure of some relevant archives, museums and other resources, progress has been
		made over the year. New photography of sites not sufficiently documented to date has been
		commissioned for 2022. If a recently-submitted grant application relating to the volume is successful,
		it should be possible to commence production in the next year. A significant body of additional
		material has been unearthed relating to Wills and Windows, pushing out the date of completion but
		improving the end publication. Relations with a second assistant author have also been finalised to
		assist and expedite completion of the work. The study of the early sixteenth-century glass at St
		Michael-le-Belfry in York is making excellent progress, including the publication of an associated
		article in the transactions for the British Archaeological Association’s recent conference in York. 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
		energetic and committed authors are now actively planning field trips and photographic work, as well
		as pushing ahead with completing catalogue entries. 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, with a view to publishing the
		enormous collection of Swiss stained glass housed in Wragby Church (West Yorkshire), is
		progressing, including, significantly, in the finalising of a funding application by our Swiss
		colleagues. This will be a work of international important, and the largest publication ever on Swiss
		stained glass. The Corpus Vitrearum’s on-line magazine, Vidimus, has received a positive reception in
		its reformulation, under a new editorship, as a more substantial, research-led quarterly publication,
		rather than a monthly newsletter as previously. Production costs, however, continue to be substantially
		met by the kind support of the Glaizers’ Trust. The Corpus Vitrearum website (www.cvma.ac.uk) and
		extensive database was delighted to be awarded in 2020 a kind grant by the York Glaziers’ Trust to
		ensure its ongoing maintenance and to allow consideration of future development.
		Two meetings of the charity’s trustees were held via Zoom conferencing in March and September
		2021, 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. Zoom meetingspermitted savings(compared to the average
		historical year) of around £1000 on trustee travel costs.

Section E Financial review
The very limited funds available to the Corpus Vitrearum (Great Britain) to spend freely on its
Brief statement of the
activities(currently totalling an income of around £5, 000 per annum) mean that it is not reasonable or
charity’s policy on reserves 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 Claims on the charity’s funds are discussed andat
bi-annual meetings and by the chair of trustees.
Details of any funds materially in deficit No funds are in deficit
