Grade II listed Church Works

14th October 2019

Acheson Construction is carrying out various works to the Garde II listed church in Dorchester and have hired the SafeStand 800/5 system for the subcontractor LC Wills Contracts Ltd to carry out the works.
The works include removing sections of the existing carpark walls where they are crumbling and rebuilding using the same materials.
St Peter’s church is a Dorchester landmark, with its striking 15th century west tower it is the largest and most important church in Dorchester.

St Peter’s has been a chapel to Holy Trinity church since at least 1303.
The church was built at the upper end of the town’s Corn Market in 1454, while the church is almost entirely a product of the 15th century. St Peters Church was comprehensively restored from 1856 by the architect J Hicks and his student Thomas Hardy. This is the same Tomas Hardy of course who would go on to be the famous novelist, however he was an architect by training.
