Gawthorpe Hall is an Elizabethan country house in extensive grounds in Padiham, Lancashire. It is owned by the National Trust and has been run in partnership with Lancashire County Council as a museum.
The house, dates from 1600-1605 and is attributed to the Elizabethan Architect Robert Smythson. It was remodelled in the 1850s by Sir Charles Barry.
We were appointed by Lancashire County Council to provide a condition survey, conservation plan and carry out a major repairs project.
This comprised external stonework and window repairs, lead roof repairs and specialist plaster repairs to decorative ceilings. Extensive consultation was required due to the specialist nature of some of the repairs.
