Yorkshire Group Visit to Calverley Old Hall

Event details

Wednesday 20 September, 12.30 - 2pm

Join the Yorkshire group for a tour of Calverley Old Hall, led by conservation architect Linda Lockett, who works for the Landmark Trust. 

The project is currently a live building site so the tour will provide a unique opportunity to see how the project is progressing and find out more about the challenges faced during the construction.

'Incrementally developed by the Calverley family from the 12th century onwards, Calverley Old Hall is awe-inspiring in scale and yet has been largely near derelict in internal condition. Our imaginative and environmentally sustainable scheme by Cowper Griffith Architects is fusing the conservation of medieval fabric with contemporary design. We’re thrilled to be working with Ilkley-based contractors Dobson Construction and that, on completion, the project will bring Calverley Old Hall off the Heritage At Risk Register, safeguarding it for future generations.' - Landmark Trust
