Reroofing of St Mary's Barton, Oxfordshire

Essential repairs and renovation are being carried out on a parish church in Oxfordshire, as part of which St Mary’s Barton is receiving a new pitched roof covering and underlay. The roofing work has been carried out by contractors Speakman Roofing, who were invited to tender for the project by main contractors Building Bespoke.

While the church is not particularly old compared to some, having been built in 1958, it possesses architectural significance. The architect, NF CachemailleDay, designed some of the most “revolutionary” 20th-century churches in the UK, including St Mary’s. The reroofing works, therefore, had to be specified and carried out respecting the architectural heritage of the building.
