This Grade II listed mansion and stable block was built in 1719 in the French Renaissance style and has been home to many famous owners.
Norman & Underwood were commissioned to replace all the lead works to the roof, cornice and French-style dormer windows, ranging from basic flashings to ornate lead work. Matching the existing detail while adhering to today’s codes of practice proved a true test of lead work skill and craftsmanship. Answers to many of the challenges could not be found in manuals and solutions had to be developed in-house.
Scope of work
- replacement of all lead works using a range of code 6, 7 and 8 sand cast lead produced in-house to traditional methods
- refitting lead works to 16 decorative dormer windows
- restoration of a decorative lead frieze
-
