The Former Chapel

Repair and conversion of the 1818 former chapel, as used by the Tolpuddle Martyrs, into a quiet place for contemplation. Sympathetic earth ‘cob’ blocks and mortar repairs will stabalise wall remains. Blocked windows and doors are reopened and the roof repaired with a later first floor removed to regain the single volume chapel. A low key extension provides facilities for community events.

Inglesham Church

Inglesham is a medieval church.  It was an early SPAB case on which William Morris worked.

Thorough phases of repair have been achieved which were highly complex to retain the original fabric as found.  It involved wall painting conservation, stone tiled roofs, structural tying, conservation, masonry repairs, and ground drainage.  Repairs were kept to an absolute minimum.  They were intricate and gentle to leave the building as found.
