A lovely day surveying Cornwell Church - the most wonderful interior including a ‘Waggon Roof’ - I had never heard this term before it’s a cradle-roof constructed of closely spaced series of double arched braced trusses - suggesting the shape of a covered wagon!

Today Agata and I had the pleasure of surveying one of the more quirky listed buildings. Stepneys nightclub - photographs before and after.

We are all set for the @Listed_Property show and looking forward to catching up with lots of familiar faces over the next couple of days. If you are around please pop over to see us.

The most satisfying part of our job is seeing a project completed - better than we ever imagined. Thanks to imperial restoration and construction and a committed client. #adaptivereuse #heritage #musicroom

Full day in the roofs at Charlecote and despite being tough on the knees really interesting with Neil Maclean inspecting the ecology & @JamesMackint0sh the architecture. Roofs reveal so much including a previous ceiling and purlin line. Late finish but treated to a fantasitc sky

@VaughanConsult1 Conservation area? We have just been told that northants will not accept rooflights in the pitch of the roof. Maybe they were there before the fire?

[James Mackintosh @JamesMackint0sh]

@OxfordPresTrust we all had a spring in our step this week - it’s a credit to all involved that the Covered Market @OxfordCity is being restored and a good thing that @CroftBC and @ClivedenConserv conservation are able to continue to make good progress safely
