St Mary's Church campus

The Grade A Listed church originally built in 1859 burnt down in 1910 and was reconstructed then to designs by Ashlin and Coleman of Dublin.

To mark the centenary of the rebuilding, a programme of alteration and fabric repairs was instigated in 2008 involving internal glazed screens and floor restoration to the Church, rearrangement of the Presbytery to suit the priest`s living accommodation and meeting rooms, and alterations and modernisation of the Club Rooms as a function suite.

The courtyard was relaid out to facilitate parking, disability access, and pedestrian circulation. A porch is to be rebuilt as a garden room, and the Church and its steeple floodlit.

In providing full design team services, assistance was also provided in obtaining grant from various sources including Historic Scotland, and specifications were prepared to their exacting standards.

Fabric repairs included roof and stonework remedials, and the works were tendered in two contracts to suit the Centenary deadline, protracted local authority consent periods and the `lime window` for repointing works.
