The conservation
of this former bishop’s palace, a scheduled monument dating from
the 14th century, was the culmination of 10 years of work by Arc in partnership
with the local community. A very complex building, great care had to be
taken to preserve it’s historical integrity.
Having helped establish the Monimail Tower Preservation Trust, Arc managed
5 phases of works to repair and improve the buildings and their landscape
setting. Local and International volunteers worked alongside skilled
craftspeople, learning skills in traditional conservation techniques.
Arc also designed a small exhibition on the Tower and local history,
which is open to the public. Please call 01337 828420 for more information,
directions and visiting times.
