		Manifesto of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings on its foundation in 1877
		A society coming before the public with such a name as that above written must needs explain how, and why, it proposes to protect those ancient buildings which, to most people doubtless, seem to have so many and such excellent protectors.
		The result of all this was often a building in which the many changes, though harsh and visible enough, were by their very contrast interesting and instructive, and could by no possibility mislead.

		In 2004, the SPAB educates, informs and campaigns, but is still a charity dependent on its members and their support.
		The SPAB was nicknamed "antiscrape", and this remains an essential part of its approach to the care of old buildings, whether cottage or cathedral.
		The Society's status as a charity, allows us to campaign on many building conservation issues, including the threat posed by airport expansion, and the failings of current VAT legislation which taxes repairs to listed buildings but not alterations.

	STEVENSON, LAYING-OUT STREETS
		Old buildings, valuable for their beauty, and even for their use, are pulled down when a slight alteration of the street-line might have saved them.
		The prohibition in Building Acts of such projections, whether of wood or stone, beyond the wall-surface or the building-line is one of the main causes of the monotony of our streets, and their revision in this respect is, I think, worth the consideration of the Institute.
		There is already such a restriction in the right of ancient lights acts, however, in a perfectly haphazard and irregular manner, depending on mere accident, and consisting in stealing a neighbour's property if he does not look out, at cost and trouble to himself, to prevent it.

	Dissertation Archive, WMU Graduate College
		The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), founded by artist and craftsman William Morris in 1877, sought to preserve the integrity of historic buildings by preventing unnecessary repairs and additions.
		William Morris's intention and that of the SPAB, as outlined by the original manifesto, was that buildings of any period had a life that was best protected through the conservative repair of what was falling into ruin and the prevention of injury to buildings by safeguarding them as much as was possible and practical.
		The SPAB is best understood by appreciating Morris's ideology and motivation, the popularity of the Gothic Revival and the preservation issues that evolved from it, and the SPAB's effectiveness in Britain through specific case studies.
