Roof Tour of Cannon Hall, South Yorkshire

About

York Georgian Society and the Georgian Group have partnered to invite you to a fascinating visit to Cannon Hall to learn more about the roof repair project at this outstanding, Grade-II* listed property.

Home of the Spencer-Stanhope family, Cannon Hall was built in the early 18th century, possibly by York architect John Etty, with joinery by William Thornton. In the 1760s John Carr of York added the wings and contributed to interior finishes.

Today, Cannon Hall is a museum, park and gardens managed by Barnsley Council. Outstanding fine and decorative arts collections include paintings, drawings, ceramics, glass, metalwork and furniture. There is also a programme of temporary exhibitions.

Join us on a visit to Cannon Hall’s rooftop, to witness the essential repair works being undertaken. Following a generous Museum Estate and Development Fund (MEND) grant, existing failing roofs and skylights will be replaced, stonework repaired, ventilation improved and stonework repointed. These repairs will safeguard the house and its collections for future generations.

Project Leaders Donald Insall Associates will give a tour of the live works to strip the roof, allowing us to inspect the 18th century joinery.
