About

Historic England awarded a contract to Sally Strachey Historic Conservation Ltd for a comprehensive condition survey of the prehistoric animal sculptures and geological illustrations at Crystal Palace Park in southeast London.

The survey will inform a wider project led by Historic England to investigate the rapid deterioration of the grade I listed sculptures and illustrations, which were placed on the Heritage at Risk Register in 2020.

The sculptures, over 170 years old, were originally built from early 'Roman' cement render on a backing of clay tiles and bricks, with iron bands, bars, and rods incorporated into the bed joints of brickwork and used as formers and armatures.

The geological illustrations consist of stone facings built onto a structural backing, generally brickwork.

The overarching project is led by a multi-disciplinary team of Historic England specialists combining expertise to interpret various studies and offer a philosophy of approach and principles for repair, conservation, maintenance, and management.

The contract value is £40,287.9.
