Nantclwyd Y Dre, Lords Garden.

One of Wales’s oldest and most notable historic buildings, the Grade 1 listed Nantclwyd Y Dre, allows visitors to step back over 500 years. It was a real honour to be asked to work on such a high profile, heritage project, protecting one of the country’s most significant buildings.

Surrounded by the tranquil The Lords Garden, a much-loved haven in the centre of Ruthin, we were entrusted with re-building the collapsed sections of the perimeter wall and restoring the historically significant pathway, the Cunning Green footpath.

Phase one of the project involved securing the collapsed areas as a priority and erecting specialist, ballasted buttress scaffold to provide stability to the remaining wall.

Once the perimeter soil was excavated, we were able to batter the grounds, reduce the overall wall height and stockpile original stones for the rebuild. Once the surrounding trees had been expertly pollarded, we then installed industry leading Cintec Anchors to further strengthen the masonry.
