Team
Chambers Conservation Ltd was established as an architectural practice in October 2015 to further a passion for working with historic buildings and sites.
Robert Chambers BA (hons) B(Arch) RIBA AABC
Robert Chambers left his role as a partner at the multi-national firm Purcell to join the practice in January 2018. Bringing wide ranging experience of conservation projects and contemporary design in the historic environment, he is an AABC conservation accredited architect.
Rob has a strong track record of delivering high-quality, complex conservation and new-build projects including St. George’s Hall, Liverpool, Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, Gwrych Castle, St. Beuno’s Jesuit Spirituality Centre, Stowe House, the RICS national award-winning Florence Institute and Yr Ysgwrn, recipient of the RICS Conservation award, RIBA Welsh Building of the Year and a Europa-Nostra Conservation Award.
An accredited conservation architect (AABC), he combines sensitive conservation skills with a passion for high-quality contemporary work in the historic environment. He serves as a member of the Historic Churches Council (HCC) in Wales, guiding change to Catholic churches across the country.
He has a deep-seated interest in the picturesque and the ruins of the 18th century, follies and arcadian buildings of all kinds. He also enjoys running up and down a hill or two!
Jennifer Chambers BA (hons) B(Arch) RIBA SCA IHBC
Jennifer Chambers established Chambers Conservation Ltd after 13 years with Donald Insall Associates in nearby Chester, following her chosen specialism in historic buildings work. She qualified as an architect in 2002 and gained valuable experience in architectural design, specifying repair works and report writing. She is an RIBA SCA (Specialist Conservation Accredited) Architect.
Although interested in all building periods, Jennifer’s greatest passion is for Victorian and Edwardian architecture, in particular that of the Arts and Crafts Movement and associated with Industrial Heritage. Jennifer particularly enjoys the attention to detail required when conserving, repairing and adapting churches. She is an active member of the Victorian Society (formerly sitting on the Northern Building Committee) and a full member of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC).
Millie Thompson qualified as an architect in 2024. Her work within the practice is incredibly varied, and she will often be working on multiple projects of size, scale and typology at one time. She has a particular interest and talent for illustration, and will regularly produce sketch visuals for projects when required to explain concepts or help visualise ideas. Alongside this, her passion for heritage has led her to form a new society with friends in the sector, under the name of Heritage Connect.
In 2024 Ben Worthing joined us as an architectural assistant, helping on a wide range of projects before he returns to university to complete his postgaduate studies.
