anchor11.05.10 – Westminster Abbey Chapter House completes.

Stow and Beale Conservation Architects LLP have completed a major programme of restoration and repair at Westminster Abbey Chapter House. This project was the largest value conservation project within English Heritage, and was on site for 18 months, through one of the worst winters in living memory. The project was implemented and completed under the direction of Stow and Beale Conservation Architects LLP on time and under budget. The project demanded good technical judgment at every level, from how to meet the brief to avoid future maintenance whilst preserving fragile work, to how to service and maintain the building.

In a formal opening on Tuesday 25 May, The Dean of Westminster John Hall and Director of English Heritage Simon Thurley congratulated each other and the team on the task they had achieved. The event also launched the book: Westminster Abbey Chapter House, a Chapter House beyond compare.

As architects for the project we are delighted to have directed the works to equip this fine building, the earliest House of Commons, for the the new millennium. More about the Chapter House project

anchor29.08.09 – Dover Castle Tunnels

Stow and Beale are carrying out a feasibility study for English Heritage at the Dover 'Secret Wartime Tunnels', a system of tunnels, now over 1km long, originally cut into the chalk cliffs in 1793, brick lined in 1810, and extended during the second world war to form a combined HQ for admiralty, army and air-force, complete with an underground field-hospital. The tunnels were used for planning and directing 'Operation Dynamo' - the evacuation of the British Expiditionary Force from Dunkirk in 1941 - and later for the invasion of Europe in 1944. Such was secrecy, those working in the tunnels did not know of their extent, access was allowed on a need-to-be-there room-by-room basis. During the Cold War, the tunnels were upgraded and re-used as a Regional Centre of Government, before being 'de-secretized' and handed to English Heritage in 1995. They are now a major visitor attraction at Dover Castle, and are to be represented as part of a regeneration programme aimed to make seaside towns thrive through improvements to heritage and tourism.
