Canterbury  architects    Purcell Miller Tritton (PMT), and PAYE Stonework and Restoration of  London,    were applauded for their labour of love which brought back to life the  Grade 1    listed late 18th century building with its distinctive pyramid roof.<\/p>\n<p>The panel of judges also paid tribute to the Cobham Ashenbank  Management    Scheme (CAMS) which began the huge task of restoring the mausoleum,  with its    associated buildings, and reclaiming the woodland of Cobham Park. The    mausoleum took 12 years to repair and was featured on the BBC  Restoration    programme. It had previously been on English Heritage\u2019s national  Buildings at    Risk register for more than 15 years, was badly vandalised and in 1980     suffered a major fire. The South East Branch had a study day at Cobham  and the    Mausoleum in 2007. At that stage the restoration of the Mausoleum was    virtually complete but the management arrangements with the National  Trust had    not been formalised.<\/p>\n<p>The other short listed entries in the Conservation category were:<\/p>\n<p>Westenhanger Barn &#8211; grade 1 barn lovingly restored over the past six  years by    the Forge family (Highly Commended prize);<br \/>\nMercery Court \u2013 restoration and conversion of the former Boots shop in     Canterbury as apartments and retail units;<br \/>\nElms Farm barn \u2013 conversion of a II* barn at Sarre into offices;<br \/>\nLeeds castle \u2013 repair of stone work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/news\/docs\/Kent_Design_Awards_2009_230310.pdf\"><strong>Download     details here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Kent family tomb which was lovingly restored after falling into a dire state of disrepair has scooped a top conservation award.
