Our Lady & All Saints, Parbold | GII. 1884 by E. Kirby. Built on land donated by the Ainscough family & completed at a final cost of £12,000. The high altar is especially impressive featuring large statues of angels bearing symbols of the Instruments of Passion | @buttressarch
St. Peter’s, Chester. G1. 14 Century+. Standing by High Cross partially on site of the Roman Principia. It was commonplace for the Anglo-Saxons to include Roman fabric when ‘robbing out’ to build new churches and it’s believed foundations date from this period | @buttressarch
Stunning. William Temple, Wythenshawe. GII. 1965. George Pace - considered the most influential post-war ecclesiastical architect in the UK. Designed to be modern in concept with value placed on acoustics. As with all Pace churches no plaques fixed to the walls. | @buttressarch
The Buttress brand film, a year in the making...
We've spent the past twelve months capturing what makes us Buttress, and creating our brand film. We wanted to showcase the people, design and values that are integral to Buttress.

The sun came out for a site visit to The Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, Liverpool. GII*. 1967. Lutyens to Gibberd, a dramatic icon of faith, architecture and human endeavour | @buttressarch
A soggy afternoon at All Saints, Belton. GI listed. Largely C14/C15 with older Romanesque font. First record of the church 1145 when Roger de Mowbray granted the living of the church of Belton to Newburgh Priory, an Augustinian house he founded between 1142-1143 | @buttressarch

Fantastic to see this months @EnglishHeritage magazine focus on the major phase of conservation and repair we are overseeing to the fabric of the Medieval Bishops’ Palace in Lincoln with @messengerbcr | @buttressarch
"One of medieval England's most impressive buildings." Great to see our conservation project at the Grade I listed Lincoln Medieval Bishops' Palace featured in the latest issue of @EnglishHeritage Members' Magazine.
A good way to start the weekend with an impromptu visit to an old project and an opportunity to talk to colleagues about the conservation and repair of the Withdrawing Room @WythenshaweHall | @buttressarch
An early (perhaps a little too early) morning visit to @CadebyStone Quarry with @adam_lewis99 to select stone for repairs to the fabric of @EHBolsover | @buttressarch
