The Lady Radnor Award
Type: AwardGlass Pavilion Extension at Long Close House, Downton Located tight on the road, Long Close House adds a typically harmonious Georgian frontage to the local streetscape, but on the garden side it is much more expansive.

Myrfield House, Salisbury
Type: AwardMyrfield House is a very attractive Regency house, prominently sited near the Harnham Gate entrance to the Cathedral Close and with splendid wrought ironwork around the front door, under a typical Salisbury oriel window.

Abbey Church of St Mary & St Melor, Amesbury: Nave Roof Repair Project
Type: AwardAll parish churches have a watch kept on them, to assess whether any parts are getting to the stage where repair works may be needed.

Shoebottle Barn, West Grimstead
Type: AwardAs a three bay C17th timber barn on staddle stones, this presented plenty of challenges to a residential conversion project, partly from its condition and partly from the need to keep most of a very compact interior undivided.

Type: AwardThe judges appreciated the chance to visit the always beautiful interior of St Thomas’s, to assess whether recent work had enhanced it even more.

Emmanuel Church Stonework Refurbishment
Type: CommendationThe Emmanuel Church, built in 1860, is quite prominent on the N side of the Wilton Road, just after St Paul’s roundabout. Its front elevation is constructed of brick and stone, the latter contributing its most distinctive feature, a half-domed projecting porch. While the brick was in good condition, the Bath stone, typical of the […]

35 Bedwin Street, Salisbury
Type: CommendationPreviously used as a bakery, this house had a fairly complicated history of outbuildings to its rear, which when the current project started had settled down to a very undistinguished extension used as a kitchen, followed by a storage building which partly blocked access to the unexpectedly spacious garden beyond. The extension was in brick […]
