The project required extensive conservation within a highly protected historic structure containing fragile medieval fabric and nationally significant wall paintings. Archaeological sensitivities across the site limited ground disturbance and required careful foundation strategies for new structures. Structural deterioration in the timber roof and floors required strengthening while preserving historic elements. Additionally, modern visitor facilities, accessibility improvements and new buildings had to be introduced in a way that respected the monastery’s architectural and archaeological significance.   The extent of works impacted the Flood Plain requiring close consultation with the Environment Agency to ensure adequate mitigation against flooding and loss of Flood Plain storage.
