Church Archaeology (CA)

Church Archaeology is the journal of the Society for Church Archaeology. Published annually since 1997, it aims to reflect the scope of current ecclesiastical archaeology in all time periods, both within the UK and abroad. The journal is a peer-reviewed publication, and each article is anonymously reviewed by experts knowledgeable in the appropriate subject. The journal encourages submissions from any interested party, both academic and amateur, for either longer articles or shorter news pieces. Contributions about all types of places of worship and their burial grounds are very welcome, both in the form of long articles and shorter illustrated news items and reports. Alongside our major scholarly articles, we particularly encourage the submission of short news articles from across the whole of the British Isles and further afield, as these reports are the best way to keep up to date with the current direction of church archaeology. Society for Church Archaeology Churches, chapels and burial grounds are familiar landmarks to us all. They make up the greater part of our rich ecclesiastical heritage. Rural churches, ruined monasteries, cathedrals and suburban places of worship - all are witness to our complex religious and social past. The archaeological study and conservation of ecclesiastical buildings and their contents - including monuments, stained glass, bells and furnishings - as well as burial grounds, earthworks and landscapes, provide a unique insight into our past. This precious and often fragile legacy is increasingly under threat. The Society for Church Archaeology was formed in 1996 to provide a focus for all who are interested in promoting the care, conservation and study of the ecclesiastical buildings and landscapes of Britain and Ireland. The society's journal is edited by Carolyn Twomey, with assistance from Danica Ramsey-Brimberg, and from 2025 is published by Liverpool University Press.
