The Mayor of Ripon braved the climb up the scaffolding to take a closer look at the work to conserve the Town Hall’s historic frontage.

The work at the very top includes repairing damaged stone and render, as well as reapplying gold leaf to the famous 'Waketh the Wakeman' inscription, which had become illegible in places - with entire sections nearly falling.

All of this work will help protect this much-loved building for the future and forms the start of our wider major planning to put the building back to work for Ripon and its residents .

Thank you to the Pinnacle Conservation LTD teams for their careful work and for showing the Mayor the progress being made. We look forward to sharing the results when the scaffolding comes down!
