Teaser
The jury believes that the building clearly demonstrates that the client's brief has been met and commends the client and the architect for bringing an important historic monument back into meaningful use.
Description
The interior of the Grade 1-listed church has been completely stripped out to return it as far as possible to its former state, and now open to the public with a programme of exhibitions and activities including a new family history section focusing on the church and nearby area.
