Historic Building Record

Manorwood’s historic building record service provides a comprehensive documentary and visual record of a building prior to alteration, repair, or demolition. This process is often a requirement of planning or listed building consent and serves to preserve an accurate account of the structure’s form, features, and historical development. Through measured surveys, detailed photography, and written descriptions, Manorwood captures the key architectural and constructional characteristics of the building, ensuring that a permanent record is maintained for future reference.

The resulting record is typically compiled in accordance with recognised heritage standards and submitted to the relevant local authority or archive. Manorwood ensures that the documentation is clear, systematic, and suitable for both technical and historical purposes. This service not only fulfils planning obligations but also contributes to the wider understanding of historic buildings, preserving valuable information even as changes are made. By creating a detailed and reliable record, Manorwood helps safeguard the legacy of historic structures for future study and interpretation.
