William Hill answers Ordsall prayers
The parish of Ordsall, near Retford in north Nottinghamshire, has acquired a brand new rectory. The building was handed over to The Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham by William Hill Builders yesterday.
The modern design of 2,200 sq ft includes glasswork, split heating over two floors, open plan spaces and large interconnecting rooms to provide a versatile private house, clergy office and communal space.
The official ceremony marked the completion of the project by the Nottingham-based building contractor which worked closely with architect Martin Tucker and the Southwell Diocesan advisers. The company said that work was completed within six months and came in under budget
“We had between five and 14 of our tradesmen on site at any one time,” says Paul Martin, operations manager for William Hill Builders. “This has been an extremely rewarding project working to an imaginative design with the best materials. It just goes to show that you can achieve an excellent building to a reasonable budget if it is well designed.”
