This was the first project Clare ran on site, after completing her Part II. The project was the redevelopment of a Baptist Church in Oxford to link the church building to the manse next door with a new concourse, as well as rebuilding the kitchen, toilets and storage at the rear of the site.
St Mildred’s is a Grade I listed church in the centre of the historic town of Tenterden. The reordering proposes new heating, lighting, finishes, seating and gallery to meet the needs of the current, growing church.
