🔷Project complete, Tovil Burial Ground.
A recent restoration project focused on carefully repairing and conserving the historic stone boundary wall and iron railings.
The existing railings were carefully removed to allow full access to the masonry beneath. The ragstone copings were dismantled, with a number of heavily weathered or defective stones replaced before being carefully reinstated.
A section of the leaning wall was carefully dismantled and rebuilt, retaining and reusing the original stonework wherever possible to maintain the character and appearance of the historic boundary.
One of the stone pillars had also become significantly leaning and unstable, so it was carefully dismantled and rebuilt, retaining the original stonework.
The wall then underwent localised repointing and masonry repairs, addressing areas of weathered and open joints while retaining the character of the existing historic stonework.
Once the masonry repairs were complete, the restored railings were refitted, reinstating the original appearance and character of the boundary.
A combination of sympathetic stone replacement, careful dismantling and rebuilding, traditional masonry techniques and sensitive restoration has brought the wall and railings back into sound condition while preserving the historic character of the frontage.
