The project involved the conservation and restoration of the Holy Trinity Church in Wingate over a period of approximately 6 months. By careful indentation using sandstone selected to match that of the existing many of the eroded features such as corbels, plinth and kneeler stones were restored. In addition to external re-pointing the mortar joints to the entire internal area of the Church were raked out and re-pointed using a lime based mortar creating an outstanding end result which is noticeably lighter and more welcoming than before.
Associated works included drainage installations externally to assist in the collection and transfer of rainwater away from the building.
