Harry Cursham

Harry has spent 37 years devoted to the conservation of historically and important buildings such as Roedean School, recently main-contracting the repair of Toller Fratrum built by the Knights Hospitallers in the 11th Century which was devastated by a fire in 2016 amongst years of multi-disciplined private works and always with his own manufactured materials.

In his final lecture tour, the late Ian Constantinides, a leading figure in architectural conservation described Harry as a “hero of conservation.” This experience has led to ‘The Vivus Solution’ and the combined use of appropriate materials & techniques in order to achieve our “modern” requirements.

This material experience has never been more important than right now, facing the climate emergency.
