St. Ann’s Gate Architects are leaseholders in The Close (St. Ann’s Gate) and have played a major role in the restoration work of Salisbury Cathedral. Antony has been responsible over several years for the redesign of Gloucester Cathedral Close. His talk concentrated on this exemplary project. It showed how involving all stakeholders enabled them to drastically reduce the number of cars in Gloucester Cathedral Close while attracting significantly increase numbers of locals to share in its beauty.

We were delighted to welcome a number of guests including Cllr Tom Corbin, Mayor of Salisbury, as well as Mrs. Stephanie Siddons-Deighton and Mr. Richard Deane, chair and vice-chair of Salisbury Civic Society.
