Five people, each with a reason for doing this work.
Reference numbers below follow our own internal filing, not that it matters to anyone but us.
Trained as a stone conservator before founding Brighton Ledger in 2015. Still carries a soft-bristled brush and absolutely nothing stronger in her field kit.
Consults on safe handling and condition assessment without ever performing invasive work himself — the line he's most insistent the rest of us hold.
Handles every RTI capture personally, and keeps a small, slightly obsessive log of which stones responded best to which light angle.
Spends more time in town clerks' offices than in any burying ground, and is usually the one who finally works out who's actually named on a stone.
Built the searchable archive system from scratch, and still answers most family inquiries herself before they reach anyone else.
