Award winning conservation work in Oxford... Project overview Cliveden Conservation was appointed by Kingerlee Ltd ( Principal contractor) and Gray Baynes + Shew (Architects) to carry out specialist conservation work to Corpus Christi College Chapel Oxford, as part of a major refurbishment project. The restoration of the Chapel (1512–17) has now been completed in time for the College’s 500th-anniversary celebrations. Due to the historic nature of the building which is Grade I listed, specialist conservation skills were required for various parts of the major refurbishment project. Work included: plaster repairs, cleaning of all timber surfaces, bosses, polychrome and gilded ceiling ribs, repairs to the flooring; repairs to decorative timber screens and panels and repair to stone monuments.
