Architecture
Spanish term or phrase: lectura muraria
Hello. This is from a text about the restoration of an old church, northern Spain, in the section about the preliminary studies that were carried out:

"Tipos de aparejos, dimensión de los ladrillos, técnicas constructivas, catas arqueológicas, **lecturas murarías**, yeserías, pinturas murales, patrimonio mueble, analíticas y caracterizaciones de materiales (tapial, adobe, yesos, ladrillos), compatibilidad de tratamientos, evaluaciones estructurales, etc. nos afianzaron sobre el conocimiento más científico de la realidad material del edificio."

Going into UK English please.

Thanks for your help
