Myddelton Construction Award

MYDDELTON WIN THE RICS BUILDING CONSERVATION AWARD 2007



Myddelton Construction were honoured for their award winning restoration project in front of more than 400 property professionals from across the region who attended the RICS gala dinner celebration at Leeds Town Hall on 25th May 2007.

Myddleton Lodge was named winner in the Building Conservation category.

Constructed by the Myddleton family in the 16th century, the iconic building served as a Catholic retreat for centuries before falling into disrepair in the late 20th century. The task of restoring it fell to Myddelton Construction, which carried out extensive work on the grade I listed building to conserve the internal and external fabric of the building - repairing decades of damage caused by the likes of dry rot and crumbling masonry.

Jennifer Welch, operations director for RICS north, said: "The awards attracted a record number of entries and the judges had a tough time deciding on the winners.

"The final results reflect our criteria that the developments should make a contribution to the wider environment and community in our region."

As a winner of the Pro Yorkshire Awards, Myddelton Construction will be entered into the national finals for their remarkable conservation project later in the year.
