Ellie Evans, Doctoral Researcher
In 2021, the Department for Culture, Media & Sport published a document outlining the necessity to monitor the loss of heritage assets in England. With that need in mind, this project is centred around using photogrammetry to record the physical state of heritage sites and monuments repeatedly over a six-month period, whilst also recording visitor numbers and their routes around the chosen sites. The recording of these two factors should allow conclusions to be made about visitor impact at heritage sites, vulnerable points at the site and the rate of deterioration, therefore measuring the loss of heritage assets.
This project aims to:
- Design and critically evaluate a method to monitor outdoor heritage sites, monuments and visitors in Cumbria.
- Produce a cost-effective tool-kit for heritage organisations to use.
