Thinking time to draw a line under Twitter. A great conservation community that helped me keep going through Covid times, but just an empty shell now.

Happy Christmas, and see you all on B-sky :)

@C20Society @Hopkins_Arch @EmmaCambridge As a young engineer I was really taken by this building.....and have designed a masonry structure with post tensioning in hommage since :)

@friendschurches great to see this repaired......did a condition survey of it many years ago when it was without friends!

[John Ruddy, Conservation Engineer, Capstone @__Capstone__]

I love to see buildings I've worked on in the past fully repaired. Was involved with St Helen's some 20+ years ago! Well done to those involved

[Friendless Churches @friendschurches]

At its core, St Helen's, Barmby on the Marsh is a medieval structure. However, the character of this Yorkshire is largely provided by its later Georgian features.

@C20Society how to stop the urge to run up to the top?

[John Ruddy, Conservation Engineer, Capstone @__Capstone__]

Danger: play area! I particulalry like the rule that there is to be no running..... Have to admit I have broken it many times chasing my children!

[John Ruddy, Conservation Engineer, Capstone @__Capstone__]

@ExploresMr my guess: it burnt down!

How to build it ........a bit of Temporary Works design this week ....large opening in a @BritishListedB load bearing wall.....the temporary works can be more involved than the permanent @IStructE
