Working in close collaboration with Cheltenham Borough Council and conservation department, the end result is a successful community project within an important local conservation area.
The concept of the proposal, from which the form has been developed, is based upon an ‘all embracing’ spiral, to welcome the parish into the heart of the church.
The project is seeking funding and looking to progress to onsite works.
