HSA appointed to upgrade local listed landmark

Harrison Stringfellow have been selected to assist Cornerstone Church in reimagining Dovedale church, a listed gem a stone’s throw from our studio on Penny Lane. Designed by George & R.P. Baines and completed in 1906, this flint-covered building stands out amongst the brick Victorian terraces surrounding it.

Empty since 2018, we are working with the church on a programme of remedial and refurbishment works to restore the historic fabric, improve accessibility, and increase capacity.
