Scrooby Chapel has received a commedation in the conservation class of the Nottinghamshire Building Preservation Trust’s Harry Johnson Award.
The award celebrates and commends the best restorations of historic buildings and the best in new design within a village setting.
Of Scrooby Chapel, the judges wrote:
“ The only Listed Building among the entries and therefore worthy of retention and restoration when no longer required for worship by the Methodist Church in 2009. A time slot of 1906 was chosen based on the earliest known photograph. The porch has been remodelled and the front window cills lowered by one glazing light which, in the judges view, has reduced the austerity of the building.”
