Project Overview


Knight Harwood completed the first phase of the five-year congregation-funded refurbishment of this architecturally spectacular building.

The project scope included repairs and modernisation of the existing facilities including providing DDA-compliant access to the main entrance in new yorkstone paving, upgrading the services, complete feature redecoration throughout, bespoke metalwork and joinery screens. The redecoration included high-level works to the 20m-high vaulted ceiling and the auditorium will have the largest cork floor in Europe. For the future comfort and enjoyment of worshippers, the scope included acoustic management and a community café bar within the auditorium and worship space.
