A revival offering transformative opportunities for all
Incrementally developed by the Calverley family from the 12th century onwards, Calverley Old Hall is awe-inspiring in scale and largely near derelict in internal condition. Recently receiving both listed building consent and planning permission, our imaginative and environmentally sustainable scheme by Cowper Griffith Architects will fuse the conservation of medieval fabric with contemporary design. The two-year project will bring Calverley Old Hall off the Heritage At Risk Register, safeguarding it for future generations.
At the heart of Calverley’s restoration will be a series of activities and opportunities, including the sharing of traditional craft skills with volunteers, trainees, and apprentices. Coming at a time of instability and uncertainty in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, the project will provide stepping-stones for a new generation of heritage specialists, with accredited training and meaningful work experience placements. There will also be a vibrant programme of open days and creative activities enabling people from all backgrounds to get involved.
