[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1064648, member: 73592"] Restoration is always tricky - assuming there's nothing offensive about the original, then I agree that it should be as close as possible to the original... EXCEPT that the new work should be obviously new, not masquerading as old. Someone looking at it in 200 years time should be able to trace the repairs easily enough, without needing a guide. The alternative is to treat it more like a remodelling, as has happened many, many times before; be honest and respectful to the original, but using modern materials and methods. It's a perfectly valid option, but not my favoured. [/QUOTE]
