A local earthquake had caused significant damage to the upper section of the spire. The repairs involved totally rebuilding the top of the spire where the stonework is only 180mm thick and incorporating a stainless steel restraining rod to reduce movement. A stainless steel twisted thread bar which formed rings in alternate horizontal stone courses was also inserted. This increased the spires capacity to accommodate tensile stresses from wind and earthquakes.

Nottingham • St Nics’ - ReorderingListed grade 11*.

St Nicholas’ is a Grade 11 listed building dating from the Seventeenth century.

The church was last refurbished in the 1980’s and the interior had become very tired and unwelcoming.

The brief was to lift the spirit of the building, incorporate new meeting areas, toilets, kitchen and an office and open the church out to the City Centre.

The project incorporated all of this within the existing building envelope whilst simultaneously making the worship space feel bigger, brighter and more comfortable.

At the West end the new balcony floats out into the church. The cantilevered balcony has no supporting columns, but rather uses the West Tower as a counterweight.

before

before: The church stands on Maid Marian Way, a 1960’s urban dual carriageway.What was once the main west door had been bricked up and the entrance was down a side elevation.

now:The original West doorway has been opened up and connected to the street by a new terrace and stairs.When the church is open the outer timber doors fasten back into the sides of the opening. Inner glass doors then give open views through to the chancel.

Atherstone • St MaryListed grade 11*.Early Medieval/Victorian.

Internal alterations:

The existing interior is gloomy with ill considered C20 adaptations which seriously compromise the openess and flexibility of the main space.

The design of proposed alterations provide additional accommodation whilst opening out the currently restricted space.

This is achieved by removing the C20 extension, the fixed seating, the different floor levels and floor finishes and all the C20 clutter of partition walls and screens, and relocating these into the North Aisle.
