We’ve been busy working on Calverley Old Hall with the Landmark Trust. The project has recently been submitted for planning and listed building consent to convert the Grade 1 listed building into a short term holiday let.

The project is highly significant given that the Grade 1 house was built and inhabited by the Lords of the Manor of Calverley from c.1250 to the late 18th century, placing it in the top 2.5% of all listed buildings in the country. CGA were appointed following an national competition run by the Trust in 2018.

As a part of the recent archaeological recording a digital 3D laser scan survey was conducted of Calverley Hall by Marcus Abbott at TJC Heritage Ltd using a Faro Focus laser scanner. A total of 170 individual scans were made and registered together using Faro Scene software to create a single point cloud model.

This digital model of the Hall and its immediate landscape provides the metric data for the creation of elevation plans and cross-sections of the building. Fine details such as carved timbers and mouldings were then scanned at 1mm resolution allowing these elements to be visualised in detail.
