Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England

The Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) was a public organization established in 1908 to identify, record, and study England’s historical buildings and sites. Its work involved detailed surveys and documentation to preserve England’s architectural heritage. Although the RCHME was integrated into Historic England in 2013, it played a crucial role in understanding and protecting England’s cultural history through expert research, ensuring that historic structures are recognized and conserved for future generations.
