Due to an increase in the size of the school, the existing arrangement was nolonger able to cope with the numbers and the school organ was in a very poor condition. The first phase of work, the reflooring, relighting and reseating of the chapel has been completed at a cost of £450,000, and work on the design of the new organ cases is currently in hand.

Restoration of the Mausoleum, Brandon Country Park 06 october 2006 Brandon Park's early 19th-century Mausoleum is in need of restoration. With the aid of a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund vital repairs can now be made to both the interior and exterior fabric. Works to the brick and flint walls, the repair and replacement of missing sections of stone and the re-covering of the coffin vaults are scheduled. In addition, the gable windows which have been boarded up for a number of years are to be repaired and new windows fitted on both sides of the building where the original openings are currently bricked up. Internally the roof structure is to be repaired - this is currently propped up from ground level - the decorative plasterwork restored, and lighting fitted so that the building can again be used. Works are expected to be completed in early January 2007.

Bury Professionals Mentor European Architects in Preserving Historic Heritage 16 march 2007 Bury St Edmunds based architects Whitworth Co-Partnership (WCP) and Milburn Leverington Thurlow are setting the standard by passing on their expertise to young architects from Eastern Europe. Five Romanian architectural Heritage students from Iasi university in Romania have recently arrived in Bury to learn best practice conservation techniques whilst working on projects in the town.  Projects include an in depth assessment of all the Bury St Edmunds Cathedral properties, and assessment of the impact of Bury’s cattle market shopping centre development on the historic town’s built heritage. Funded by the Leonardo project, a scheme that seeks to give students an understanding of professional practice across the different countries in Europe, and supported by their University  the students are excited at the prospect of working in heritage jewel Bury St Edmunds. Trainee architect Ms Mihaela Popiniuc said: “The Leonardo da Vinci scholarship gives us the possibility to get in touch with the practical issues of the rehabilitation and re-evaluation process in Great Britain. So we are excited to be here and really to be part of some projects in Bury St. Edmunds. The information gathered will be useful for our future projects that we will be developing in Romania”. Bury St Edmunds, described by 19th Century writer William Cobbett “as the nicest little town in the world” has been famous for its undisturbed street plan that is credited to About Baldwin (abbott from 1065 – 1097) and originates from the time of the time of the Norman Conquest. The goals of the Leonardo project include the support and nurture of innovation in small and medium enterprises such as those that characterise Bury St Edmund’s historic heart, and discerning the differences in professional practice across differing cultures within the EU.
