As the church hall renovation enters its final stages, one of the most rewarding aspects of the project has been seeing the new locally carved stonework take its place within the building. Stone has always been central to the character and longevity of historic buildings, and this project demonstrates how traditional materials and skilled craftsmanship can continue to play an important role in their future. Carefully carved by local craftsmen, the new stonework has been desig

Back in January, we reported that works were underway at All Saints Church, Ripley, (one of the five churches that make up Cayton Parish) — and we’re delighted to share that the internal re-ordering is now complete.

The PBA team took a step out of the office and into the stunning grounds of Harewood House. The day started off with a presentation from Sally Beeden, our Partner, and Practice Secretary, before a fascinating tour of the house. We finished off with a “scavenger hunt” (aka a lovely walk through the grounds). Plenty of tea, coffee and excellent food kept us fuelled throughout the day. We would highly recommend Harewood for any Team Away Day! - a great mix of learning, history,

Huge congratulations to Sally, our Partner and Practice Secretary who recently competed her horse Alexanderthegreat (Ali) at the RoR (Retraining of Racehorses) Championships at Aintree.
