Some artefacts with links to slavery are set to be removed from churches in light of new guidance for parishes following the Black Lives Matter movement. New Church of England guidance, published today, urges churches and cathedrals to consider the history of their buildings and the physical artefacts and how it could impact their congregations' worship. Churches that have already taken action include St Margaret's church in Rottingdean, Sussex, which has removed two 'deeply offensive' grave headstones which contained racial slurs. St Peter's Church in Dorchester has also covered a plaque commemorating a plantation owner. And dedications to slave trader Edward Colston were removed from Bristol Cathedral last year.
