St Peter’s Church, North Hill, Colchester given go ahead

St Peter’s Church is prominent site in the middle of Colchester’s City Centre, a grade 2* listed building with a grand galleried interior. In recent years there has been a programme of repairs and now a parallel effort is required to improve accessibility and welcoming. Our services have included the appraisal of the building and several design exercises in conjunction with parochial church council representatives. These proposals have formed the basis for planning and faculty applications and later the set of technical drawings for obtaining building regulations and for guiding construction on site.

The new interventions will provide:

• historic building repairs

• a new accessible screened ramp access from Colchester High Street

• a new kitchen with servery

• WC provision,

• new stroage

• heating and service upgrade

• reordering of pews to provide a flexible floor space - serving the growing congregation and community

• new display areas for historic building interpretation, missions and community groups

As we reach the end of RIBA 4, we plan to go out to Tender shortly. Any expressions of interest from Contractors with a good track record in Historic Building Contracts and Bespoke Joinery Services are welcome.
