We have been working on this multi-phase and award-winning project since late 2012.
When we first visited the castle was Priority A (the most endangered category) on the Heritage At Risk Register. It is now happily off the register. Following a number of successful planning applications and applications for Scheduled Monument Consent, we have been working across the site on all buildings and works are now drawing to a close.
The project has included:
– a new wing which we have added to the main inhabited Grade 1 listed building
– full repairs and refurbishment
– a re-instated three storey spiral stone staircase to serve the thirteenth century tower rooms
– major repairs to two ruinous towers
– a new cloister
– extensive landscaping
– repairs and conversion of barns and outbuildings
