Chantrey Conservation Architects Ltd was set up in 2023 following twenty-five years of specialist work with conservation practices in both London and the South West. 

Central to the work of CCA is the dovetailing of historic building conservation with innovative, contemporary design. Working closely with our clients, we embrace the challenges of practical, modern alteration and sustainable environmental considerations alongside the contrasting requirements of sensitive heritage repair, to meet individual, community and missional objectives.

Founding Director, Marcus Chantrey, is an award-winning, accredited conservation architect (AABC and SCA); a Member of the Salisbury Diocesan Advisory Committee and a Member of the Church Buildings Council. 

Marcus undertakes design, repair and conservation projects as well as quinquennial inspections. Clients include PCCs, charities and private home owners. He is the Inspecting Architect at Sherborne Abbey, St Mary Redcliffe in Bristol, Lincoln's Inn Chapel, Christchurch Priory, the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey and other churches and historic sites throughout the South West. 

Marcus is a Grants Committee Member of the National Churches Trust and the current Chair of the Stained Glass Grants Committee at Church House. He has a particular interest in the decay of historic fabric and its subsequent conservation and has a wealth of experience of Lottery funded projects.
