The Lady Radnor Award Stonework repairs at the Old Mill, Harnham

Type: Award

 The Old Mill is a historic building of exceptional importance and merit, prominently located and very distinctive. The oldest part displays late medieval doorways and windows, together with very high quality walling in chequerwork of flint and stone. The flint panels had given cause for concern, with a considerable amount of recessed pointing which might […]

Salisbury Museum: Conservation and Repair Work in association with the Past Forward Project

Type: Award

The recent creation of new galleries at the Museum had been accompanied by a thorough-going exercise in ensuring that the building, Grade I listed and with a very distinctive historic character, was in tip-top condition. The visible work was mostly to the exterior, particularly to the stonework of the windows. Photos and a visit showed […]

Salisbury Cathedral High East Gable

Type: Award

While awards are not usually given to phases of work on a building, Salisbury Cathedral is, unsurprisingly, an exception to this, with various awards having been given to it since 1996, early in the award scheme’s life. Using submitted evidence, and a visit for a look from ground level, the judges decided that the repairs […]

Extension at Cross Cottage, Barford St Martin

Type: Award

Cross Cottage is a Grade II listed house of c.1800, in Chilmark stone, prominently situated across from Barford St Martin church, on the road out towards Dinton. The creation of an extension to the building, on an unoccupied site between it and the road, had clearly been seen as acceptable by the planners because of […]

Staddle Stone Barn and Calf Shed at Manor Farm, Sutton Mandeville

Type: Award

Manor Farm is a good example of a farm with a very diverse set of buildings, some of which were unsuited to modern agricultural practices and had fallen into poor condition. A thorough evaluation has seen some of the more interesting ones repaired and refitted, in order to guarantee their continued existence. With one of […]

Rookhaye Farm, Bowerchalke

Type: Award

The courtyard of buildings at Rookhaye Farm is largely Victorian in date, and typical of Wilton Estate developments of that period – similar buildings can be seen a few miles away at Faulston, Bishopstone. Complexes of this sort, in flintwork and brick, are important components of the local rural heritage, but typically have been overtaken […]

Conversion of Donhead St Andrew former village school into two houses

Type: Award

This Victorian building, mainly in stone with some brickwork, had seen the creation of two residences. Respect for the original design led to these being of unequal size, one of two bedrooms and one of three, and this respect was obvious throughout. Repairs to fabric necessitated by the removal of an attached toilet block, itself […]

St Mary Magdalen Hospital, Wilton

Type: Commendation

Prominently located by the major roundabout on the A36, St Mary Magdalen Hospital is an almshouse previously in the care of the Wilton Estate. Its transfer to the Salisbury City Almshouse and Welfare Charities      had seen major works carried out, in order to bring the facilities up to the standard needed for C21st almshouses, and […]

The Bothy, Garden and Annexe, Chicksgrove Manor, Chicksgrove

Type: Commendation

The judges were presented with a nomination with several elements to it, and were very impressed by two of them. Behind the mainly C16th house, a single storey annexe had been transformed from something with rather dull fenestration, in strips, to a building focused on two full height areas of glazing in a contemporary mode. […]

Trafalgar Gardens Cottage

Type: Commendation

The walled garden near the Avon, adjacent to Standlynch Mill, is part of an extremely interesting historic site, having formerly served the Grade I listed Trafalgar House half a mile to the north-east. The garden is long disused but now part of a project which will see it used for growing flowers, and along with […]
