Throwback Thursday ⏪
We’re looking back at a project where building for the future meant working carefully with the past.
At this 800-year-old Grade II listed church in Bidborough, we carried out a sensitive renovation and extension, with traditional materials and craftsmanship central to the approach.
The new extension was constructed using a timber frame and finished externally with locally sourced oak cladding, handmade clay roof tiles and bespoke leaded windows, carefully detailed to complement the character and proportions of the existing church.
Internally, the works provided much-needed new facilities alongside an extensive refurbishment of the existing church, including a bespoke oak joinery kitchen, new flooring, heating, lighting and associated services.
A project that required considerable care throughout, balancing the practical requirements of a modern building with the conservation and craftsmanship expected of such an important historic setting.
