The Walker Pritchard Partnership

One of a kind…. This truly unique project consisted of the transformation of a Grade II* listed building with Gloucester Cathedral as its back drop.

The works consisted of a number of specialist services including Archaeologists, lime conservation plaster, lead roofing and the painstaking restoration of a number of the buildings’ original stone walls, ornate timber structures and supports.

The building was then beautifully finished by a dedicated interior design team, who utilised a number of local artists to create some exclusive artwork throughout the building, together with a selection of bespoke joinery pieces.
