It has been over 60 years since the last guide to the care of
church linens and textiles was published and despite being used to
a greater or lesser degree in every parish church, popular
knowledge of their proper use and care is diminishing. This welcome
and straightforward guide provides practical advice with helpful
illustrations on the use and care of all church linen and textiles.
Part One explains the use, care and repair of all the main items of
linen used at the altar, including textile coverings, frontals,
pulpit and lectern falls. Part Two describes the use of vestments
and garments, how and when they are worn, and their proper storage
and care. Part Three offers a complete guide to cleaning fabrics,
natural and synthetic; what to wash and what to dry clean, and how
to remove common spills and stains such as candle wax and flower
pollen. Part Four offers a directory of sources and advice on the
storage and disposal of church textiles.
