The repair and conservation of a 17th Century Grade II listed
malthouse by leading Midlands architects Brownhill Hayward Brown
has been shortlisted for the Royal Institution of Chartered
Surveyors Awards 2010.
The Lichfield-based practice, renowned for its expertise and
sensitive restoration of heritage buildings and churches, carried
out extensive repairs and converted the property, which is within
the grounds of Harvington Hall in Worcestershire, to a teaching and
visitor centre. The works were sponsored by the Heritage Lottery
Fund and opened last spring (2009).
Andrew Hayward, director of Brownhill Hayward Brown said, "This
was a particularly important project for us, and we are delighted
to have been shortlisted."
The winners will be announced on 19th May.
The scheme included upgrading facilities, improving access for
the disabled, and restoring the ground floor of the adjacent Grade
II Georgian chapel.
Harvington Hall is a Grade I-listed moated medieval and
Elizabethan manor house which belongs to the Archdiocese of
Birmingham and is renowned for its large number of priest
holes.
