Restoration and preservation work now underway at Provand's Lordship
One million pounds of Capital Funding from Glasgow City Council is being invested in repairs to the roof, chimneys and down pipes. Treatment to stop and prevent rising damp, and a new lime harling render will better preserve the fabric of the building, and return it to an authentic 15th Century appearance. The interior will benefit from structural improvements and replacement windows and doors.
Work is expected to take around one year and, following completion of the repairs, Glasgow Life plans to reopen Provand’s Lordship to the public in summer 2023.
