Whitby Abbey

Marcon has finished its first project with  English Heritage completing the site-wide interpretation scheme at Whitby Abbey, the iconic landmark located on the headland at Whitby in North Yorkshire.

Whitby Abbey is a site of national and international importance and its history is evidenced through the upstanding 13^th century medieval ruins, its buried archaeology and its historical associations.

Marcon completed the detail development, manufacture, delivery and installation of the museum fit-out within the visitor centre, including graphics, AV hardware and the coordination of all work-packages.  The project also includes the manufacture and installation of externally sited interpretation through a series of jesmonite plinths, some of which include low-level interactive elements.

Marcon’s heritage team worked closely with London based interpretive designers Drinkall Dean, turning their creative vision into reality.
