Join us on the grounds of Highclere Castle—the filming location of Downtown Abbey—to learn more about the intricate restoration work taking place inside its enchanting 1855 chapel. Lady Carnarvon invites plastering specialist George Faulkner to discuss his approach to preserving the tranquil sanctuary, originally designed by Thomas Allom for the 3rd Countess of Carnarvon. From traditional lime plastering techniques to sensitive conservation methods, discover how skilled craftsmanship protects the chapel’s historic fabric—alongside its beautifully restored stained glass—and ensures that this serene place of reflection endures for future generations. Set apart from the castle’s grand interiors yet deeply woven into the estate’s layered history, the Highclere chapel offers a moving portrait of the care and dedication required to safeguard Britain’s architectural heritage.
