Our bedroom's panoramic view overlooking the Weardale valley

Welcome

Thanks for visiting our site we have now restored this wonderful building at Stanhope County Durham in the autumn of 2012.

We have completed the interior and been busy furnishing the interior.  The top floor lounge is really looking good especially now we have our own bespoke artwork and banners painted by our friend Diane King.  Eric our architect has been asked to submit the building for a potential architectural award - fantastic recognition for what we have done for this once derelict building- see 'The Shell' section.

We bought this Primitive Methodist Sunday School in May 2010, located in Weardale in the Wear valley. Working closely with our architect Eric we have brought this fabulous building back to life and made it a welcoming home for the Childs family.

The main purpose of the site was to provide progress photo's and short commentary, and of course to receive your comments in our blog section.  

If you want to see our plans or understand some of the school building history there are sections available, but I need more help to piece the story together.

Final work finished Sep 2012
