Inlay Ltd Supply And Lay Resin Bound Surfacing For College

Construction News Image
Inlay Limited has recently supplied and laid approximately 8000 m2 of resin bound surfacing at Bramshill Police College.

Bramshill House is a Jacobean mansion standing on 269 acres of land in the civil parish of Bramshill in north-east Hampshire in England. It has been the location of the Police Staff College since 1955.

Bramshill can be traced back to the Saxon times. In the 14th century, it was the home of Thomas Foxley, who rebuilt Windsor Castle for the Crown. He appears to have used masons from Windsor in erecting a small castle or fortified manor house at Bramshill in 1327. Their work can still be seen in the cellars of the present house.

In 1605 Edward Zouche, 11th Baron Zouche of Harringworth, bought the property from Sir Stephen Thornhurst of Agnes Court, Kent. He demolished a large part of the building and began to build the Bramshill house of today. This was completed in 1612. The building included both a chapel and priest’s hole.

In 1622 while hunting in the park, George Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury accidentally shot and killed one of the keepers with his crossbow. It almost caused his downfall.

In 1699, the property was purchased by Sir John Cope whose family continued to live there until 1935. The cope family demolished the chapel during the 18th century. Later, the house was the home of Lord Brocket.

After World War II, the exiled King Michael and Queen Ana of Romania lived at Bramshill.

Inlay Limited supplied and laid a Resin Bound Surface to the car park, pathways and entrance drive using colour Golden Beach chosen by the college.

The large area was laid by Inlay Limited in just 19 days to meet the work schedules laying approximately 420 m2 per day. This was laid with a hand trowel giving a smooth and fully permeable surface.

A spokesperson for the college is extremely happy with the new surface co-ordinating very well with the house, grounds and history.
