The Practice Background

The practice has built a reputation for working in sensitive urban and rural environments. Our work ranges from large conservation projects to small domestic works and includes repair and conservation of churches, large country houses, the conversion and re-use of redundant buildings and the design of new buildings in historic settings.

Each project is approached individually with thorough research and an appreciation of the inherent qualities of character, history and place. Our pragmatic approach to repair and conservation is balanced with the needs of the client to produce uniquely crafted and sensitive projects.

We work closely with all our clients who range from private individuals, parochial church councils to trusts and other corporate bodies. We have also been commissioned to care for several National Trust properties including Charlecote Park Warwickshire, Snowshill Manor Gloucestershire and Boarstall Tower in Buckinghamshire.

At Croome Park Worcestershire, we are currently working on the repair and conservation of several follies and the adaptation of redundant RAF buildings to a visitor centre.

We currently look after nineteen churches, some of national importance including Dore Abbey in Herefordshire and Chesterfield Parish Church Derbyshire.

 
 

In addition to inspections and repairs we have been involved with several re-ordering projects and design of new structures and fittings. We have also prepared reports on properties for the Churches Conservation Trust and the Historic Chapels Trust.

The practice has been involved with several successful grant applications to the Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritage and the Getty Grant Programme.

We have a good working relationship with English Heritage, local conservation officers and amenity societies and John Goom undertakes voluntary casework for the SPAB. The practice also works with several building preservation trusts including Woodchester Mansion Trust, Spon End Building Preservation Trust and Wychavon Building Preservation Trust.
