Originally a dower house, this Grade II* listed building was designed by Thomas Harrison of Chester around 1825 and formed part of the Hawkstone Park estate.
Built from the soft local 'Myddle' sandstone, high level masonry had become severely eroded before our commission to undertake extensive remedial work.
Decay in the north turret, which disguised a chimney, required the complete dismantling and rebuilding of the stack, though elsewhere less invasive techniques were used. Existing stone blocks were salvaged for reuse in their original locations, wherever possible.
