Evaluation Consultant for Landmark Trust Project in Leeds

The Landmark Trust is commissioning an experienced Evaluation Consultant to act as the independent evaluator for Crafting Cultures: Reviving Calverley Old Hall.

The Landmark Trust is the UK’s second biggest historic buildings charity. It rescues extraordinary historic buildings from dereliction and gives them a vibrant new life as places everyone can enjoy for short breaks. Each year some 40,000 people stay in our buildings, and another 10,000 visit them on public open days or through our educational programmes.

Calverley Old Hall’s exceptional potential has languished unfulfilled for decades. This outstanding medieval manor house, listed Grade 1, is now on the Buildings at Risk Register.

The project proposes to:

•    creatively adapt the derelict Hall, Solar and Parlour block into new Landmark holiday accommodation for 10 people, employing the highest conservation standards alongside the latest green technologies;

•    change the use of the Lodging Block from a single holiday let house over two floors, to form a new residential tenancy on the first floor and

•    offer flexible new community space for hire on the ground floor, a contemplative, multi-faith space in the Chapel, and a community garden growing medieval herbs.

•    create opportunities for training and creative engagement with the project both during and after the contract works.

Applicants will be required to submit a tender. For more info please email: khoward@landmarktrust.org.uk

This project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
