Some wonderful timber-framed partition walls and other fascinating features can now be seen again after centuries hidden behind plasterwork.
The project was led by Project Architect Claire Fear. Claire is the founder of Thread, an Architecture practice specialising in the cultural and heritage sectors from C12 Abbeys to brutalist architecture. Claire oversaw the restoration and conservation of the historic town house from inception to completion, and showed exceptional sensitivity to the listed building whilst recognising the need to change and for improved access for all.
