DIOCESE OF NOTTINGHAM HISTORIC CHURCHES COMMITTEE PRESS NOTICE Application reference #1016 dated 02/11/2026 has been received by the above Committee for approval of the following works to an exempt ecclesiastical building.
St Mary (Church) - Derby. Grade
II* (Listing Number: 1215808)
Works Proposed: Following repeated lead thefts and subsequent water ingress, dry rot was identified within the roof structure and concealed construction of the ancillary rooms adjoining the Lady Chapel. Mark Stewart RIBA SCA AABC was appointed as Conservation Architect to develop a conservation-led repair strategy.
The proposed works include removal and reinstatement of the affected roof coverings, repair or replacement of decayed roof timbers, treatment of affected areas, removal of the later C20 outer wall, improved ventilation to the roof and gutter voids, reinstatement of the east parapet gutter in lead, a ventilated clay ridge, conservation roof lights and replacement of the affected ceilings.
Taking the opportunity presented by the necessary opening-up works, the ancillary accommodation will also be reordered internally.
Existing partitions will be removed and replaced to provide two confessionals, an accessible WC, a music store and improved flower preparation and storage facilities, together with associated new doors, joinery, drainage, heating and electrical services.
The works are intended both to eradicate the dry rot and address the constructional conditions that allowed it to develop, while providing more suitable and accessible parish accommodation.
