Want to find out more about the history of your Grade I listed clubhouse in the heart of Mayfair? Then join in our webinar at 10am BST on 11 May, in which conservation architect Martin Ashley will give you an insight into the three buildings that make up Over-Seas House.
We are in the midst of creating a Master Buildings Plan to properly care for our historic clubhouse home with the help of Martin. Join our webinar as he takes us through some of the conditions and challenges intrinsic to a building such as ours. He will also be sharing some of the clubhouse’s history that will take us into the past and help us to take the right path for the future.
Martin specialises in historic building conservation and has worked with The Royal Household, The Crown Estate, Royal Parks Agency, Historic Royal Palaces, The English Heritage Trust, and City of London Corporation amongst other government and local government agencies and charitable trusts.
