On this project the client is aiming to restore this wonderful building back to its original form. Unfortunately, due to previous shortage of funding, the building had not been restored in a sympathetic manner. This is a listed building, and hence our work is under the watchful eye of a conservation officer.
To date we have rebuilt 6 gables, 4 on the front elevation and 2 on the rear, using as much original stone as poosible, and replacing any unusable stone with locally quarried Barrington clunch.
Doorways have been cut through walls up to 3 feet thick, windows have been replaced, and brickwork chimney stacks have been rebuilt, including new stone cappings weighing almost 1 tonne each.
Marble and Portland stone flooring has been reinstated into the chapel.
