Damp, cold, and possibly lots of DIY of various competency. Same as usual really.
Did remedials in one (listed building) and was forever trying to ensure that I missed the historic crucifix mounted above the alter with my ladders and I had to dismantle part of the organ to get access to the cables. Someone, many years ago had forgotten the minor detail of a CPC to the lights on one side of the church, they were all over 4M high and wired via the apex of the roof.
If this is an ancient church, i'm very surprised that the installation wasn't MICC throughout. Most insurance companies insist on it, and have done for a good number of years now, for these very old stone and wood churches....

Not that ancient but these conservation people like to list everything and put conservation areas around everything else. The wiring was all T&E and the porcelain screwits, which were all making excellent connections, and some not very well done additions. All the circuits had CPCs but they had not bothered to take the lighting CPC to one side of the church which included the external lights. Found lots of old gas pipes though. They are now thinking about rewiring it and it all has to be MICC. Not sure if it was an insurance requirement as the various church bodies all recommend MICC so not sure which came first. They got an architect to devise a new lighting scheme, he specified the most expensive fittings etc. Problem is they cannot afford it.
