King renews Tanvir Hasan for Churches Trust term

The King approved a second term for Tanvir Zehra Hasan at the Churches Conservation Trust until 31 January 2031.

--- The context --- The Churches Conservation Trust cares for a wide network of historic churches. Its work combines architectural conservation with community use, at a time when maintaining protected buildings demands technical judgement and continuity in the leadership of the institution responsible for them. --- The facts --- The King approved the re-appointment of Tanvir Zehra Hasan as a member and trustee of the Trust for a second term until 31 January 2031. Hasan chairs the Conservation Committee and guides the Board on maintaining 358 churches and new Church of England vestings. --- The positions --- Continuity in the role recognises the accumulated knowledge of an accredited conservation architect specialising in listed buildings within Conservation Areas. Her landmark heritage experience supports adapting historic spaces for community use without losing their value, according to the official information released about her work. --- What remains unknown --- The official note does not detail which specific projects Hasan will lead during the second term or what priorities the Conservation Committee will set in the coming years for the 358 churches in the care of the Trust. --- Unanswered questions --- What priorities will shape this second term until 2031? How will efforts be shared between maintenance and new community uses? Which churches will receive priority attention during this new stage of work? --- EPM analysis --- The appointment links local and international conservation. In Iraq, Hasan consults for the World Monuments Fund on post-conflict restoration at Amedi, Erbil Citadel and Mosul Museum, with training in traditional crafts such as stonemasonry and timber joinery to rebuild local capacity and reconcile communities. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, renewing Hasan rewards a record that combines technical rigour with community purpose. Her profile brings continuity to the care of 358 churches and a broad view of heritage as a living space. The challenge will be turning that experience, also proven in Iraq, into visible results for communities needing buildings that are safe, useful and open for all.
