St Quivox Churchyard, Auchincrive

Client:

Local Authority / Parish Trustees

The Story

Go-Wright Ltd was commissioned to undertake a highly sensitive structural restoration at the historic St Quivox Churchyard. The project required the complete dismantling and reconstruction of the churchyard’s boundary wall to ensure long-term stability. Given the sacred nature of the site, the project involved complex logistical coordination, including the necessary exhumation and reinterment of human remains to allow for critical structural works to proceed. 

Our Technical Approach

his project demanded a methodical and deeply respectful approach to both engineering and heritage preservation. Our scope included: 

  • Specialist Site Coordination: Managing a specialist subcontractor for the dignified exhumation of remains, ensuring all works were conducted with the utmost respect and in compliance with legal and ecclesiastical requirements. 
  • Heritage Masonry Deconstruction: Carefully removing headstones and dismantling the existing stone walling while cataloguing materials for reconstruction. 
  • Structural Reconstruction: Rebuilding the churchyard wall by skilfully reusing original stone, supplemented with carefully selected new stone pieces to ensure a seamless and durable finish. 
  • Site Restoration: Finalising the project with the respectful reinterment of remains upon the successful completion of the masonry and structural works. 

The Result

The successful restoration of the St Quivox Churchyard wall proves Go-Wright’s ability to manage projects that are as emotionally sensitive as they are technically demanding. By blending specialist civil engineering with traditional stonework, we preserved the sacred boundary of the churchyard for future generations, delivering a stable structure that respects its historic and spiritual significance.
