St Cecilia, Adstock,
Buckinghamshire
(with Hyett Salisbury Whiteley)
St Cecilia is a Grade 1 medieval church, built of local limestone. The PCC approached us for a programme of repairs to mark the millenium, within a budget comprising a Heritage Lottery grant and their own funds.
Erosion of the soft limestone had reached a point where stone replacement was recommended for the tower buttresses and various window mouldings and parapet cappings; the tower roof was recovered in cast lead, repairing rotted timbers; and general stone areas were defrassed and repointed in lime mortar.
The works cost approximately £110,000, and were completed in 2000.
