Simon Notley, Author at Townsend Timber

Here is the recently completed timber framed church office for Hazelbury Bryan Parochial Church Council. This building has been constructed by us in timber stick-frame with home grown Larch cladding and natural slate roof. It is neatly located in the church car park and provides new facilities for churchgoers and a meeting room for villagers and local groups. It has a main meeting room with kitchen area, toilet, reception area and has full disability parking and access. We are very pleased to have been the main contractor for this project, and have fabricated all timber engineering elements in house in our manufacturing & timber yard in Pulham. Always great to work for a neighbouring village and not far to travel!

OAK FRAME RESURECTED FOR DORSET ARTIST

Following our 2017 installation of this unique oak frame for Simon Gudgeon Sculpture at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, we have been involved with final re-assembly at the Sculpture Park near Dorchester, as part of the outside dining area for the visitors. We are very happy to give this frame a 2nd life in this beautiful location.

The frame looked superb at the show in 2017. Soon after our carpenter team had completed the oak frame raise Simon and Monica and there landscaping team stepped in for the final dressing.

Now with a few minor design tweaks the same frame will provide a wonderful back drop in the sculpture park dining area for many years to come.
