St. Philip and St. James, Norton St. Philip, Somerset |
Construction of new vestry, toilet and meeting facilities
This church is listed Grade II*, and Chedburn Design
and Conservation was appointed in 2000 to develop proposals for the
provision of vestry, toilet and meeting facilities. The project,
constructed of traditional oak panelling, mixed with contemporary
stainless steel and glazed elements, was the subject of extensive
negotiations with English Heritage and the Council for the Care of
Churches. The church is now used on a daily basis for a range of
functions including meetings, lectures and concerts. The project was
carried out by T. R. Morgan of Wells, within an overall project cost of
approximately �200,000.

Beckington
Primary School |
New extension to provide hall and classroom facilities
Chedburn Design and Conservation was appointed as lead
architect on this project in 2000 following the refusal of a previous
Planning Application by the local authority. We designed a scheme to
extend the Grade II Listed School building in a way that made the new
structures compatible with the character and quality of the conservation
area. This meant designing a low-key structure which wrapped around a
curved mediaeval wall situated within the former Abbey Gardens. The
building was opened by Princess Anne in 2004.

Provision of a new staircase tower
Having been involved with several previous phases of
restoration of this C17 manor house, Chedburn Design and Conservation
was asked to design a scheme linking up a series of side rooms through
the construction of a new staircase. Adopting the style of a
traditional, staircase tower, the scheme involved detailed negotiations
with Bath And North East Somerset Council, and the work was carried out
by Ellis & Co. of Shepton Mallet.

Re-ordering of the interior of the church
Chedburn Design and Conservation became involved at
Holy Trinity Church, Nailsea in 2000, and were commissioned to prepare a
scheme for the complete re-ordering of the nave, chancel and south
aisle. The project involved the removal of the Victorian pews and
provision of new floor structures, along with a new under-floor heating
system, lighting scheme and total redecoration. The project also
included the provision of a full-immersion baptistery. Holy Trinity
Church is listed Grade I, and we have recently been commissioned to
undertake a further refurbishment scheme to the adjoining Trinity
Centre.

Working for a Hong Kong-based developer, the project

dwellings. The buildings, along with the farmhouse, are Listed Grade II,
and the project therefore involved extensive negotiations with South
Gloucestershire Council. The project has now been completed and all the
dwellings have been occupied.

development of a new garden scheme, along with the construction of a
series of new garden buildings, including a maize tower, gazebo and
gatehouse. The project involved working closely with a garden designer,
as well as the Conservation Officer of Herefordshire Council and English
Heritage. Hampton Court Castle is a Grade I Listed building close to
Leominster, in Herefordshire, and dates back to the C12.
