Dr David Carrington is a conservator in private practice based in the East Midlands. With some 35 years' experience, specialising in architectural stone and sculpture since 1990, he has a particular interest in church monuments - especially in looking for sustainable and practical methods of conservation within the context of their building environment. He acts as conservation advisor for several cathedrals and has served as Conservation Cases Recorder for the CMS since 2010.
Sophie Oosterwijk was co-editor of Church Monuments for many years and is now a Vice President of the Society. She taught at the universities of Leicester, Manchester and St Andrews, and was a research coordinator for the MeMO (Medieval Memoria Online) project at Utrecht University. She now lives in the Netherlands again, working freelance as a researcher, writer and editor, and as a lecturer for the University of Cambridge, The Arts Society and other organisations. Her numerous publications include Monumental Industry: The Production of Tomb Sculpture in England and Wales in the Long Fourteenth Century (2010, with Sally Badham), Mixed Metaphors: The Danse Macabre in Medieval and Early Modern Europe (2011, with Stefanie Knöll), and John Lydgate, The Dance of Death, and its Model, the French Danse Macabre (2021, with Clifford Davidson).
