Chapel of Rest, Everdon, NorthamptonshireFormerly a Chapel of Rest, this property had been empty in excess of 50 years and was in need of major works. The rear stone wall was completely removed and re-built using a lime mortar mix and the original stone. The tin roof was removed to reveal the original roof timbers. Although these timbers were inadequate to support a new roof cover, they were retained as a feature in the property, and subsequently a second roof was cut and tiled. Internally, a first floor was added, and working with very tight dimensions, a new internal layout was created with a spacious feel. Click for more photographs.
