COMMUNITY-DRIVEN RESTORATION

simon-ablett-architects  |  ablett news  |  March 5, 2021

It has been a pleasure working with the PCC of Holy Trinity Church in Tooting, on the repairs and access improvements to their church tower. Substantially supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the project also had tremendous support from the local community, with individual donations helping to fund the carving of replacement stone corbels to the main frieze. The project has now reached practical completion, with much credit to all involved for adapting to the challenges of working through an unprecedented national lockdown.
