Located in North Yorkshire, the original Londesborough Hall Estate was built in 1589 by the Earls of Cumberland. The se became an RAF base during WWII and as a result, the original entrance the state was located in a field and in a bad state of disrepair, including extensive subsidence due to a lack of drainage. Given the architectural merit of the entrance, a successful application was made for a full heritage grant to complete the renovation of the original entrance. David was contractor for this piece of work, which included:
- Coordinate with Conservation Architects and Estate Management
- Removal of entrance
- Documenting and logging each individual piece for heritage records
- Development of new foundation and drainage
- Full rebuild of entrance including piers
- Restoration of ball finials
- Extensive indenting
