Principal activities of the company

Religioscapes CIC is a community interest company that helps communities to identify, protect and map burial grounds, holy places, religious landscapes and shrines all across the world. Our charitable services include: (1) Digital survey, mapping, recording, historical research, digitisation and the integration of records and archaeological excavations. (2) Safe online archiving of results, products and publications of synthesised and analysed results as appropriate. (3) Engagement with local communities, relevant authorities and other partners to tell the story of what we recorded. We give tools and materials for interpretation and we raise the profile of the places and their meanings, as appropriate.

Additional information

Future plans: The core objective of Religioscapes CIC is to continue to help communities rediscover their forgotten stories. This will involve expanding the current recording project on Cyprus to record all the churches, chapels and burials within the British cemeteries in collaboration with the Anglican Church. Work with other Cypriot faith groups are under discussion. In addition to this, the Sanctuary Database pilot project will continue to run until mid-2024. Once the basic mapping has been completed, there is the chance to move on to phase two: digital survey and recording.

In our first year of operation we have undertaken educational activities around the religious heritage of the East End of London for a variety of audiences. We are currently developing learning resources for use in a range of educational settings focusing on the recognition and celebration of religious heritage in many forms. Working with our partners in Europe, we have started to develop a fully interactive GIS based website that allows for the mapping of religious heritage (such examples include graveyards and cemeteries as well as religious buildings).
