  • Refurbishment of the existing Monks Dormitory, Great kitchen and Covey to create a new walkway gallery viewing space for members of the public
  • Construction of a new access gallery link, with air conditioned exhibition space
  • Extensive conservation stonework repairs and re-pointing to the external facades of the building
  • Extensive conservation treatments to the timber roof structure of the Monks Dormitory
