The conservation architects Simpson and Brown and Quantity Surveyor Kenneth Ferguson have very kindly donated their time free of charge to produce a Condition Report and Cost Plan on the structures in the churchyard. This includes, The Hearse House, St Kentigern’s Church Tower and walls , The Clerk Family Mausoleum and the churchyard stone boundary walls .
All these structures are deteriorating and urgently require repair and restoration . The Penicuik Heritage Regeneration Project Team at their meeting on the 6th October 2020 agreed to set up a working group with representatives from local organisations to plan a way forward to access possible funding to tackle these structures . The group will also look at an Interpretative Strategy for Penicuik to investigate a heritage trail to promote the unique history and heritage of the town centre.
