HFF Normanton Rutland 4th September 2023

HFF Normanton Rutland 4th September 2023
A drone's-eye view of Normanton church on the banks of Rutland Water.

The church was de-consecrated in 1970, and was to have been demolished as part of the reservoir construction, as its floor was below the proposed water level. Following a public outcry, the lower half was filled with stone and rubble, and a concrete cap constructed just below the level of the windows. An embankment was built around the church leaving it a prominent feature on the water's edge.

HFF & have a great weekend.

Superb drone eye view! Better this compromise solution, saving the upper part of the church, than its complete demolition! HFF, Pete!
