Priory Church of St Mary

Tutbury.

The Grade 1 listed building only had very basic facilities, and the works for the project was to create an additional kitchen, toilets, vicar's office and flexible meeting space.  The new screen and carving had to be replicated to match existing details.

 

The meeting room is a feature of this project constructed mainly of oak panelling, having two sets of double oak doors with traditional black ironmongery.  The oak panelling facing inwards to the body of the church was stained to match the existing, but the interior was oiled to preserve the natural colour, making the room look light and airy.  Increased daylight into each room was achieved by introducing skylights and lower part of the original windows received opening oak window boxes.

 

This project was featured in the September/October edition of the Church Building Magazine and won the EMBCE Award for Heritage Skills in 2010
