We were delighted that the restoration work that has recently been completed, particularly on the roof of the Old School Room was recognised when it was shortlisted in the category “Re-Use of a Georgian Building”. The winners were Wentworth
Woodhouse Camellia House. Members of the trustees were accompanied to the ceremony by Adam and Rob from Pinnacle Conservation.
David Ashstead, Director of the Georgian Group said “As ever, it was rewarding to see the great variety of projects put forward for this year’s Georgian Group Architectural Awards - marvellous, beautiful, often heroic, some surprising. But all revealed vision, enthusiasm, skill and commitment - on the part of owners, architects, contractors and craftsmen. We thank and salute them as we do those funding bodies who also believed in the possible. Despite economic uncertainties, continuing problems with supply chains and the escalating cost of materials, these projects show just how much Georgian buildings are admired and valued and how they can live on to serve new purposes.
