📸 Project Spotlight: St John the Baptist, Rochdale - Mosaic Restoration.
We`re excited to share our work on the Church of St. John the Baptist, Rochdale, a Grade II* listed landmark celebrated for its unique architectural features.
The absolute highlight of our role here has been overseeing the restoration of this nationally important 1933 Sanctuary mosaic, by Eric Newton. It`s breathtaking 💫
See the link in the bio for the @historicengland 3D tour of the mosaic, and keep following us for the next stages of this project.

It’s been very exciting to be part of the work involved to bring a 16th Century Grade II listed pub in Northampton back to life. It has had a colourful life, in continual use as an inn since the 15th century, burnt down and e-built twice in the 16th and 17th century but continued thriving through the centuries until it sadly closed in 2018. We are leading the conservation work to refurbish the inn for the Churches Conservation Trust. A recent archaeological dig has made some fascinating finds, to read more about it use the link in our bio.

Our Associate Architect Amy Redman is just back from a hands-on working party in Alstonefield, Staffordshire. Organised by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) it was also her chance to catch up with Scholars on the 2024 SPAB programme
@spab1877 believes that the best way to learn traditional building skills is through hands-on experience and we agree. The working parties offer a unique opportunity to learn from some of the country`s leading craftspeople.
Here`s a snapshot of what we got up to, involving hard work but lots of fun too! Read the full story over on our website.

Windows are more than just functional; they`re a glimpse into history. We believe historic windows bring beauty and tell stories of the past.
Facing issues with draughty, leaking, or cold windows? Don’t rush to replace them - often, a little care can restore their charm and functionality.✨
From a recent conference in Cirencester, we`ve gathered top insights on preserving and enhancing heritage windows. Key takeaways include:
Understanding their historical significance
Dating windows using physical evidence
Recognising historic glass vs. modern glazing options
Specifying timber repairs and paint finishes
Grasping the science of heat loss and retrofitting
Making the case for repair over replacement
Curious to learn more? Let us know. Let`s preserve our heritage, one window at a time.

GREAT NEWS! Crosby Granger Architects have made three senior promotions in response to our ambitious growth plans and the increasing demand for our heritage consultancy services.
Gordon Blunt joined the practice in September 2020 and is tasked with managing and improving the studio’s production of information, knowledge sharing and providing technical oversight on major projects.
Co-founder Chris Granger said: “We have a solid foundation in the heritage sector from which to expand our work and for which we are seeing increasing demand. So we are very pleased about the three appointments.
“We also act as specialist consultants to other architects, surveyors and estate managers who need high-level building conservation advice or technical guidance. They are often wrestling alone with the same problems we are tackling with our bigger team of experts.

This residential project aimed to revitalize and expand an existing Lake District Villa, addressing unsuccessful attempts at improvement over the last two decades. The client’s vision was to craft a spacious, dynamic, and design-centric concept, involving the replacement of an outdated single-story kitchen and family room. Crucial to the project was the enhancement of panoramic views showcasing the breathtaking landscape.

St Johns Church Blackburn dates back to 1788 and was used as a place of worship until 1975 when it closed and was later transferred to council ownership to become an arts centre.
Having sustained significant fire damage in 2019, which left the building open to the elements, approval of the plans would see new life injected into the town centre building.
Working with design team leader OMI Architects, the proposals respond to the strong geometries of the existing building and incorporate the restoration of the surviving historic features.
The innovation hub will form the first phase of the £250m masterplan for Blackburn town centre, providing lettable desks, coworking spaces and 20 offices.

This complex but rewarding small project provides @levenshall with a new bakery which supports is already popular @levenskitchen.
Formed entirely in traditional materials, located in Bertha`s Shed (you`ll have to visit and ask who Bertha is), this has seen an underused agricultural unit brought into good use for both staff and visitors of the hall.
A delight to work on with thanks to the family and staff of Levens Hall for their hard work and patience.

Tower House School it is located in East Sheen, near Richmond Park, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Work has come to an end and the goal posts are back in play! The planting is taking shape and the young geographers, historians and mathematicians are in their new classrooms after an eighteen month wait. Congratulations to all!
