As architects, we spend a lot of time visiting churches as part of our ecclesiastical work, and one thing we're always reminded of is how valuable these spaces can be.

Whether you're religious or not, churches often provide a calm, quiet and cool environment away from the pace of everyday life – somewhere to pause, reflect and simply enjoy a moment of peace.

Our Ecclesiastical Team has been particularly busy recently carrying out Quinquennial Inspections, giving us the opportunity to visit many beautiful historic churches and appreciate the important role they continue to play within their communities.

Have you visited your local church recently?

We’re delighted to welcome Claire Thomas to the practice as our Senior Residential Architect & Passivhaus Specialist, where she will lead our residential architectural team.

With over 40 years of experience, Claire is a highly accomplished residential architect known for creating bespoke homes that prioritise comfort, natural light, and a strong connection to their surroundings.
Having personally built two homes, she brings invaluable hands-on knowledge of construction, making her equally confident on-site and in the office.

Passivhaus design is her speciality. Whether delivering fully certified Passivhaus projects or incorporating its principles into everyday builds, Claire ensures every design supports energy efficiency, wellbeing, and truly harmonious living.

Outside of work, Claire enjoys sailing and spending time at her Passivhaus home with her family and dog.

Back in January, we reported that works were underway at All Saints Church, Ripley, (one of the five churches that make up Cayton Parish) - and we’re delighted to share that the internal re-ordering is now complete.

As ecclesiastical architects, we’re proud to have supported this carefully considered transformation, improving accessibility and flexibility within the Nave through the removal of pews and lowering of platforms, while preserving the church’s historic character.

In the Chancel and Ingilby Chapel, seating has been sensitively adapted to enhance comfort, ensuring the space continues to serve both its heritage and its community.

A huge thank you to Pinnacle Conservation Ltd for their expert craftsmanship and collaboration throughout this project.

He also has experience in 3D modelling, technical design, and CAD, having completed a CAD internship prior to joining the practice.
