The SPAB project, St Andrew’s Chapel in Boxley is now on the market for £899,000. The works carried out under SPAB’s leadership saved the Grade 2 ‘at risk’ building , transforming it into a beautiful 3 bedroom family home. Details can be found at Inigo.com/sales-list/st.andrews-ch.

Throughout the project, traditional methods and trades were employed, and hundreds of people attended Open Days to learn these skills, introducing a whole new generation of enthusiasts. SPAB are actively involved in projects throughout the country and encourage participation by anyone interested in traditional build techniques and materials; spab.org.uk/get-involved.

Conker Conservation were involved from the outset, 7 years ago, advising on energy efficiency and sustainable materials.
