St Andrew and St George was consecrated in 1960 and is listed Grade II. It is a focal point of Stevenage’s new town plan, a vibrant, spacious place for worship and community. The Church was designed by Seely and Paget, known for transforming Eltham Palace, the parabolic concrete frame was designed by engineer Kalman Hajnal-Kónyi. Now in great dis-repair, we are advising on repair and conservation. The Church with the Diocese of St Albans is organising to protect its heritage and raise funds to carry out conservation and repairs.

Phyllida’s Quinquennial Inspection identified immediate threats to the fabric, functionality, and sustainability of the building. The priority is to repair the actively leaking flat roofs, so the church can remain open and continue to serve as a place of worship and important civic and community asset. Ongoing investigations include condition surveys of the concrete frame and panels, copper and windows, acoustic evaluation and CCTV drainage survey and flood assessment to establish the full scope of repair, refurbishment and improvements necessary to the building fabric and prepare a Conservation Management Plan. Longer term, improvements are planned to the approach, kitchen and WCs to make the church spaces more inclusive to meet the church’s long-term vision of providing facilities that are fit for purpose and reflect the needs of a growing population.
