Castle Howard Stray Walls, North Yorkshire:
Castle Howard is a magnificent 18th century stately home and has almost two hundred listed buildings and monuments scattered across its 10,000-acre historic landscape. It has been home to the Howard family for over three hundred years. William Anelay has been appointed to carry out three phases of stabilisation works to the Estate Stray Walls and Towers. The project will include, where necessary, the removal of ivy from stonework to access and repair wall foundations, repairs to the wall fabric and the replacement of damaged masonry. The walls will be extensively re-pointed. Where existing stone cannot be reused, it will be sourced locally and in keeping with the existing masonry. The house and gardens will remain in use throughout the construction period which is due to be completed December 2010.
