Historic Churches 2022

BCD SPECIAL REPORT ON HISTORIC CHURCHES 29TH ANNUAL EDITION 9 OLD BUILDINGS, NEW ARCHITECTURE Richard Griffiths Architects conserve and create new architecture for old buildings, revealing the best of their past, adapting them for the present, and giving them a sustainable future by adding a new architectural layer to all those already present. We have particular experience in working with historic churches and cathe- drals, including Southwark Cathedral, St Albans Abbey (RIBA National Award for 18 years work), St Nicholas Kings Lynn (Churches Conservation Trust and NLHF), Christchurch Hampstead and St Alfege Greenwich (Hawksmoor). See our website www.rgarchitects.com In his book, Old Buildings, New Architecture, Richard Griffiths distils the experience of 25 years of Richard Griffiths Architects in giving new life to old buildings. It includes chapters devoted to the typology of barns, the art of repair, the art of construction and detailing, architecture and decoration and the case for restoration. We cannot all sit at the feet of a consummate master; but in this case we can at least read his book . Peter Burman, SPAB Magazine I had not begun to appreciate the extent of your work, not least on build- ings I know well and have come to admire. I can only describe you as a saint of the built environment. Simon Jenkins, SAVE and Guardian columnist Order via www.rgarchitects.com OLD BUILDINGS, NEW ARCHITECTURE
