Our Calverley Old Hall project recently hit the headlines when the removal of lath & plaster from the 1930s revealed perfectly preserved mid-16th century wall paintings.
The paintings, which feature mythical creatures and decorative vines, have been reported in national and international press and described as a once in a lifetime find.
The Grade 1 house was built and inhabited by the Lords of the Manor of Calverley from c.1250 to the late 18th century, placing it in the top 2.5% of all listed buildings in the country. CGA were appointed to turn the dilapidated building into a holiday let following a national competition run by the Trust in 2017.
Work on site is now underway starting with the re-roofing of the Solar & Parlour Block.
