Purcell Miller Tritton brings history back to life at Cusworth Hall
After two years of closure, Cusworth Hall in Doncaster reopened its
doors to the public in May, following a £7 million refurbishment
and restoration project by leading architects and historic buildings
consultants, Purcell Miller Tritton.

Cusworth Hall is an imposing 18th century mansion, set in extensive
landscaped gardens. Previously home to the Battie-Wrightson family,
who resided at Cusworth since 1669, the Grade I listed building is
deemed a site of special interest due to the preservation of all the
key elements of a Georgian country house. In recent years, the building
has played host to the Museum of South Yorkshire Life, which illustrates
the changing home, work and social life of people and communities
across the region in the last 250 years.
Extensive repairs were carried out by Purcell Miller Tritton, who
were enlisted by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council, to act as
Historic Buildings Advisor, Principal Architect and Contract Administrator
for this project. Both internal and external restoration has been
carried out, including the replacement of roofs, repair of stonework,
renewal of mechanical and electrical services and exposure of ceiling
paintings that have been hidden for over 50 years.
Purcell Miller Tritton Associate, Jane Roylance, acted as Contract
Administrator on the project and has said, It is fantastic to
be a part of the restoration of such a magnificent and historic house,
which now can be enjoyed by many, long into the future.
She went on to say, Purcell Miller Tritton specialises in integrating
modern facilities into historic buildings. As such, we were able to
install a new lift and upgrade visitors facilities, improving
circulation of the building and allowing guests/visitors to truly
appreciate the beauty of this building and its grounds.
