After emergency measures to make watertight and environmental control of extensive dry rot, a fully detailed heritage impact assessment was undertaken. Key structural elements were conserved and primary discrete structural repairs followed using traditional repair techniques to minimise heritage impact. Where possible all materials were re-used including the original weather patinated roof tiles and conservation of the 20th-century wall finishes and wallpapers. A new heating system, water supply and power provision were laid throughout the property. New oversized cast-iron rainwater goods were installed and the wellhead was reinstated to a functional condition.
























Whitworth is pleased to have completed phase one of the reordering works at All Saints Church in Stanton, near Bury St Edmunds. This is a project focused on helping this much-loved historic building continue to serve its community for generations to come.
In 2023, Whitworth was approached by our client to sympathetically carry out the conversion of an existing 1980s garage, originally built to accommodate the previous owner’s Ferrari, to a new one-bedroom annexe accommodation.
Whitworth oversaw the restoration of the historic Martello Tower in Aldeburgh, the largest of its kind from the Napoleonic Wars.
