Building contractor Linford Group has been awarded the GBP2.4 million contract to develop Oaklands House in Worcester into high quality residential accommodation.
Following detailed tender, Kings Norton Parochial Church Council (PCC), the owners of the Saracen's Head and Old Grammar School, awarded them the contract to complete this landmark project.
The architects are the Birmingham-based APEC, responsible for the landmark church St Martin's and many other local projects.

Canon Rob Morris, Kings Norton Team Rector, says: "As BBC TWO Restoration winners, we're delighted to commence the main building work which the programme did so much to encourage".
"Project volunteers and our project team have worked so hard over the last three years to ensure that everything is done to the high standard which these buildings, our local community and our city deserve".
"We've worked closely and gratefully with the Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritage, Birmingham City Council, The Restoration Fund and the Wildlife Trust and have an excellent team of professionals willing to go the extra mile." Linford Group, based in Lichfield, has been the appointed building contractor for many restoration projects nationwide.
The restoration and building work in Kings Norton is expected to be completed by mid-2008.
