LOOKING GOOD: Restoration experts Cedric Charleof and Luke Jordan
BARNARD Castle’s Pittuck Mural has been fully restored – and will be on view when St Mary’s Parish Hall reopens next month.
Restoration experts Luke Jordan and Cedric Charleof worked throughout the Covid-19 lockdown to restore the artwork, which was painted by former Barnard Castle School art teacher Douglas Pittuck onto the east wall of the parish hall in 1959.
A campaign to raise cash for the mural’s restoration began two years ago after it had become damaged by water seeping through the wall and roof.
The experts completed their work last week.
