After a serious fire destroyed a terrace of four thatched cottages in Dartmoor National Park, we have been working with the National Trust to develop plans for their conservation and reconstruction. The Grade II Listed cottages are an important presence in the village of Drewsteignton with the oldest parts dating to the early 15th century.
The National Trust values the importance of connecting people and places and interpretation boards have been installed so that visitors to the village can understand the context for the extensive works taking place.

JRA Director and Conservation Architect, Miriam Kelly, recently lead a tour of Glebe Cottages for the annual gathering of Conservation Officers from English and Welsh National Parks. They were interested to engage with the project and understand the ongoing careful salvage and reconstruction work. For more information we recently posted a blog on our website.

Our latest blog explores the internal alterations to the late Victorian Grade II* listed Goodleigh United Church. The church is a Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP), bringing together different Christian denominations to worship and minister collaboratively, and the church is an important hub for the wider community. The aim was to create flexible, multi-use spaces while respecting and enhancing the church’s architectural significance.

Director and Conservation Architect Miriam Kelly gets a mention in this article from the Times, for her vision in transforming a derelict waterworks in Dartmoor National Park into a stunning family home – Holly Watt writes ‘Miriam, meanwhile, had created the most brilliant planning application, which somehow transformed the hideousness of the waterworks into granite and larch-clad-beauty.’ A great article about planning challenges, design, vision and determination.

Dismantling of the West Chimney over the main entrance of St Michael’s Mount Castle. Of the four granite chimneys on the West front this was the tallest. Unfortunately, it was damaged in ferocious Storm Goretti which hit St Michael’s Mount with wind speeds of 111mph. The chimney will be carefully rebuilt under the guidance of Structural Engineer Paul Carpenter and in collaboration with the Conservation Officer, Historic England, St Aubyn Estates and the National Trust to ensure a suitable reconstruction is undertaken on the iconic castle.
