Barlborough Hall School have been awarded a grant from English Heritage to restore the building so the school can use it as a learning facility and the project architects are Lathams from Derby. It is a 20 week project and Bonsers are acting as principal contractor and the project will complete in late September.
The works include, repair of external stonework, repointing in lime, repair and replacement of timbers to the external bay roof and the main roof in oak, replacement of a gypsum plaster floor, repair and consolidation of a 16th century chimney piece, removal of later brick panels in the bay window and insertion of re-glaze bay windows with lead camed glass, lime plastering to internal walls and replacing the existing metal sheet roof with natural stone slates. The approach to the project is repair found unless impractical when a sympathetic contemporary solution will be adopted.
