In Brief
Key Points
- A Heritage Impact Assessment undertaken in relation to proposed internal renovation and restoration works at St. Michael’s College, a Grade II* Listed Building designed by noted architect Henry Woodyer which is strongly associated with the revival of English choral music in the 19th century.
Summary
The overall impact of the works on the Listed Building was assessed as Slight, with some aspects of the works considered positive, reflecting principally that the renovations would not impact the layout of significant rooms in the building, nor involved the removal of any significant features such as bookshelves, fireplace, or original doors. This also considered that the works included the removal of some modern partitions, a dropped ceiling, and a false floor, which will reveal notable features such as a stone floor and wooden panelled ceiling, and restore aspects of the building’s historic layout.
