St Peter’s School Conservation

Client/Developer: St Peter’s School
Architect/Designer: Donald Insall/Ferrey & Mennim
Builder: Matthias Garn, Master Mason and Partner

The façade of St Peter’s School, a historic York school, has been secured and enhanced by two phases of conservation work.

Following a fall of stone and stone debris, concerns were raised about the condition of the masonry. Ferrey & Mennim (now merged with Donald Insall Associates) acted as conservation architect alongside Matthias Garn, Master Mason.

The project involved the careful cleaning, conservation and replacement of masonry. The façade is now dramatically improved and the school can continue to be used for generations.
