We have extensive experience working with Independent Schools that have sites of historical significance, including both listed and non-designated heritage assets.
We’re thrilled to have completed some exciting projects in conservation areas, greenbelt parkland, rural settings, and Sites of Special Scientific Interest. We’re experts in navigating complex planning regulations.
Our team combines our skills in historic building preservation and new design in protected landscapes to create unique Independent Schools projects.
We know that each school has its unique teaching approach, and we’re committed to adapting our design solutions to suit your needs. By working closely with you from the beginning, we can tailor a design that supports learners’ diverse needs and responds to external factors and environmental changes.

"I am extremely grateful for your personal approach and the commitment you have shown from the outset. What has been particularly pleasing is the team spirit you have developed with the Contractor in order to focus on the main objective: namely to deliver this project to the school to a very high standard."

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.

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.
