The custodians of mediaeval churches throughout the UK try to make them more user-friendly, and conserve energy, by adding internal or external doors.
St Mary's Uffington, Oxfordshire, had a porch protected by iron gates. Their replacement with glazed doors provides a warmer interior, projects a less forbidding image and better displays the superb original ironwork on the main door.
Perspekt's design avoids the use of a traditional timber frame that would obscure the orders of columns and arches. Instead, we retained the existing minimalist iron frame and suspended from it a glass screen and doors.
Project was executed by Bassett & Findley Ltd of Wellingborough.
