The work at St Mary’s College has been a
substantial conservation and repair project to
restore this fine building to its present
condition. Built in 1836 as a Catholic Seminary,
the building is now used as a retreat and a venue
for Diocesan events.
Our project dealt with brick and stonework
problems, including external cleaning to remove
the smoke blackened appearance of the building. A
substantial repair of the Chapel ceiling
affected by dry rot caused the whole of the chapel
ceiling to be repainted to replicate the original
Pugin design
