Stoke Rochford Hall Lincolnshire
Client: Stoke Rochford Management Ltd
Grade I listed, Stoke Rochford Hall was built in the 1840’s to the design of the prolific Victorian architect William Burn. Latterly used as a training and conference centre the Hall unfortunately suffered a major and devastating fire in 2005, destroying the internal spaces over three storeys, from ground to roof level.
Rodney Melville and Partners were appointed as Architects to salvage and repair the building, immediately after the fire and commenced with a programme of enabling works to clear the building, rescue remains of significant fabric and stabilise the structure. A major repair contract followed, which saw the Hall restored to its former glory, with new welsh slated roofs, carved stonework, fine decorative plasterwork and oak panelling to the interiors, all modelled on rescued remains and archive information.
With the additional opportunity taken to upgrade and improve the accommodation to the upper floors, the project was achieved within an extremely tight budget and critical programme, being rewarded with the regional RICS Conservation Award for 2016. The Hall continues in use today as a hotel and conference facility.
