Alan James

In 2024 Alan James and his wife Anne will complete the Warksburn Old Church project, creating a luxury holiday rental property in Northumberland, believed to be the world’s first conversion of a former church to Passivhaus standards. By an uncanny twist of history, the church was originally funded by the eminent Victorian, Sir George Barclay Bruce. His Presidential Address to the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1887 was the very first time a vision of renewable generation and storage of electricity was ever expressed. Now Anne and Alan have made that vision a reality in the very building Sir George himself built.
