(47) Sign Sabha Gurdwara, (former St Lukes Church), Cranbury
Avenue, Southampton : Grade II. Mid C19. Neo Gothic Church by
Architect J Elliott of Chichester. The Church is of coursed stone
construction with Bath limestone details. The main facade was
restored in 1958 after bomb damage. The external walls are covered
in grime.
The cleaning of the stonework is to remove atmospheric carbon and
dirt, and algae from the older masonry surfaces. The technique
would involve restorative cleaners with pressure water rinsing.
Estimated cost of works £16,500.
I cannot support this application for use of Historic Buildings
Grant money as I believe this is a low priority for this building.
A high priority is the repair of areas of stonework which are in
poor condition. The main facade suggested for cleaning is only 32
years of age so I do not consider it necessary to be cleaned at this
stage.

timberframe. The building had a central open hall which is to be

undertake the restoration of the whole timberframe whilst the

previous tenants had neglected the building and covered up problems.

would normaly have been undertaken by a tenant who would have been
grant assisted in the usual way. However, as the freeholder is
undertaking such a thorough job I would recommend that we assist
