Manor Farm House

The 15th Century Grade II listed Manor Farmhouse was restored into a visitors centre for the community of Ruislip in the Borough of Hillingdon in northwest London. The project was awarded Bronze in the International Green Apple Awards, which recognise, reward, and promote environmental best practices around the world. We have preserved and disseminated the heritage value of the site, increasing its role as a local community attraction. The project also won Special Recognition at the National Panel of the Civic Trust Awards.

Acting in the role of Lead Consultant, WWA directly engaged other conservation specialists and worked closely with English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund whose grant assistance was crucial to deliver the project.

The Manor Farm complex forms a vibrant facility, including a thriving library, performance hall, interpretation centre, craft workshops, and community café. The 22-acre site at Manor Farm has been converted into a Heritage Centre in the heart of Ruislip. Work included the restoration of the 13th Century Grade II* Great Barn, considered to be one of the largest and most outstanding early timber-framed aisled barns in South East England. The Manor Farm complex now forms a vibrant facility for the local community and successfully promotes the heritage value of the site.
