Could your barn have the potential to become a new home?

As an architectural practice, we help landowners explore the potential of Class Q barn conversions, transforming existing agricultural buildings into homes in the countryside, without some of the constraints typically associated with building a new home in a rural location.

If you own a barn or agricultural building, we can help you understand what may be possible and guide you through the design and planning process.
Do you have a barn with potential?

August at the Practice

August has been a busy month for our architectural team, with several residential projects now nearing completion, tenders going out and coming back in, and new residential design proposals being prepared.

Alongside our residential work, we’ve continued to work across a diverse range of architectural and ecclesiastical projects, from Quinquennial Inspections (ahead of the Winter months) and building condition surveys to planning and Listed Building Consent applications, site visits, and project management.

It’s been a busy mix of projects, all while navigating the summer holiday season and keeping everything moving forward as members of the team enjoy some well-earned time off!

Progress at St Margaret’s Church, Horsforth

We’re pleased to share an update from St Margaret's Church Horsforth where the conservation works continue.

Over the past year, significant progress has been made. The existing floor has now been removed and a new beam-and-block floor structure supported on steelwork has been installed throughout the chancel, organ chamber and vestry.

Insulation is now in place, ready for the installation of underfloor heating — helping to make this much-loved historic church warmer, more comfortable and more energy efficient.

As ecclesiastical architects, our team is delighted to be involved in this important conservation project, working alongside Pinnacle Conservation Ltd to carefully balance essential building works with the preservation of St Margaret’s historic fabric.

It’s encouraging to see the works moving forward and the long-term benefits for St Margaret’s beginning to take shape.

We look forward to sharing more updates as the project continues!

Heritage Open Days 2026

We're delighted that some of our projects will be taking part in Heritage Open Days this September.

It's always wonderful to see these buildings open to the public, giving people the chance to explore their history, appreciate their architecture and experience spaces that aren't always accessible.

We're proud to have played a part in helping to conserve and adapt these special places, and we hope you'll enjoy visiting them if you're taking part in Heritage Open Days.

You can search for events and plan your visits using the Heritage Open Days Website: https://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/whats-on/search-2026-events.html

Happy Yorkshire Day!

We know... it was Saturday.

But one day never seems quite enough to celebrate Yorkshire, so we're carrying on today.

As architects based in Tadcaster, we're fortunate to work with some of the county’s finest buildings and places. While our architectural projects take us across the North of England, Yorkshire will always be home.

Here's to Yorkshire's stone, craftsmanship, character, and communities. We wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Whether you're considering a new project, planning for the future or simply looking for architectural advice, we'd be delighted to hear from you.

Happy (slightly belated) Yorkshire Day from everyone at Pearce Bottomley Architects.

St Peter’s Church, Morley Community Centre – officially open!

It's wonderful to see the newly renovated church hall at St Peter's Morley officially open as a community centre.

This project has been about so much more than restoring a building—it's about creating a welcoming space where the community can come together for years to come.

From the beautifully carved local stonework to the carefully restored historic fabric, every detail has been designed to celebrate the church's heritage while giving the hall a new lease of life.

It has been a pleasure to work alongside Whitaker & Leach as the main contractor on this project.

We can't wait to see the hall filled with community events, activities, celebrations, and everyday moments that make places like St Peter's so special.

Congratulations to everyone involved—we're proud to have played a part in this exciting new chapter.

Supporting Local Students

Last week, we were delighted to welcome a work experience student from Tadcaster Grammar School to our architectural practice.

As a local practice, we're committed to supporting students by offering meaningful work experience and the opportunity to explore a career in architecture.

During the week, they gained an insight into the design process, worked alongside our team, and discovered how ideas develop into the buildings and spaces that shape our communities.

It was great to see their enthusiasm and curiosity throughout the week, and we hope the experience has provided some inspiration for the future.

We're always pleased to support the next generation of architects, designers and built environment professionals, and we wish them every success in whatever comes next.

Keeping it local!

We're pleased to see our Pearce Bottomley Architects sign in place alongside the scoreboard at Church Fenton Cricket Club.

As a practice based in Tadcaster, we're always looking for opportunities to support local organisations while raising awareness of what we do. It's great to see our branding on display at such a well-supported community club.

If you're planning a new build, extension, renovation, or commercial project, we'd be delighted to help.
