To celebrate their 200 year anniversary, the parish of Holy Cross commissioned DHA Architects to help bring about a revitalisation of the somewhat dilapidated Georgian / early Victorian Church.

The brief also requested a new Narthex entrance from the rear of the Church to provide disabled access to a restored Presbytery, which was carried out in a bold timber structure. The conversion of a series of old school rooms also provided community meeting facilities at the Church.

The restoration of the Presbytery included subdivision of some of the ground floor rooms to provide a modern kitchen and dining facility and reception room for welcoming visitors.

A complete new mechanical and electrical services installation accompanied the internal re-decoration of the whole complex.
