Designed by Edward Blore in the Early English manner and built in 1839 within Chelsea’s Royal Hospital grounds. GQA’s involvement with the church over the past decade has ranged from: quinquennials, restoration of external stone and lead work, re-ordering of the Lady Chapel and alterations to the existing heating.

GQA were commissioned to refurbish both internally and externally the church designed by Wren and Hooke. Now it is home to the Centre of Spirituality following inclusion of DDA compliance, lecture rooms, library, bookshop, offices and kitchens. The stone tower and timber steeple were also restored to exact original detailing. Click here to view additional photos >> |

GQA are responsible for Quinquennials for this Church, which is built to the design of David Evelyn Nye & Partners in 1958 and forming a wing of an open-ended courtyard. Opposite is a handsome Edwardian Arts and Crafts style hall, built in 1907 linked by various administrative rooms and vestries. Click here to view additional photos >> |
St John the Divine, Kennington |
Giles Quarme & Associates are given the responsibility of maintaining St John the Divine. We are currently helping to install the Jagger Rood within the church and have previously worked to restore the spire to its former glory including replacing gargoyles. Another project was the restoration after the fire in 2001. The paintwork, tapestries and parquet were painstakingly restored after the fire. Click here to view additional photos >> |
St. Mary Woolnoth (1716-17, Grade I) is one of Nicholas Hawksmoor’s finest churches, and is based on the Egyptian Hall of Vitruvius. GQA restored panelling, the polished and gilded reredos plus works to pilasters, column bases, carved balcony brackets, the organ casing and various original screens and doors.

GQA were commissioned to improve on the existing design of the disabled access at the church’s front entrance. We proposed direct stepped access in front of the entrance and two ramps to either side for the pavement was so narrow that with one ramp it presented dangers to the disabled. |
