Client: Burnley Borough Council
Project scope: Major repairs
Grade I: £3.5 million: Current
In 2020 we were appointed by Burnley Borough Council to carry out condition surveys and a conservation management plan at Towneley Hall, a museum and art gallery in Burnley.
The hall has its origins in the 14th century and has undergone several changes since its initial medieval construction – the most notable being by John Carr in the 1760s and Jeffry Wyatt 1812-1819.
Following the completion of condition surveys, a major repairs project was needed to address the backlog of defects including repairs to masonry, windows, floors, roofs and decorative plasterwork ceilings.
The works commenced in 2022 and are scheduled to take two years on a phased wing-by-wing basis so that parts of the hall can remain open to the public.
