In November 1932 James Edgar Stacey acquired the business of Samuel Parsons, a respected architect and builder based in Holsworthy, North Devon, including the Inceworth Building Works premises, together with other premises in Holsworthy, Devon. Sam Parsons had designed and built the Methodist Chapel which stands alongside Inceworth Building Works.
In October 1959 J. E. Stacey & Co Ltd was incorporated, the business which has grown into the group of companies of which it is a part today.
The company has been involved in many interesting and prestigious projects throughout the West Country. Upon reviewing the archives and records, here is some of the information the company holds today regarding many of those projects.
The construction in the early 1950s of a new Community Hall commemorating those from the town who served and were lost in the two World Wars; and the extension and remodelling of the Hall sixth years later! The company has also built community halls serving several villages throughout North Devon.
Construction of a new Church Building in Westward Ho!
In 2002 J E Stacey & Co constructed the very first commercial BioGas Plant in the United Kingdom generating power from agricultural waste in a turn key collaboration with Farmatic Biotech Energy UK, a project which involved the construction of complex underground concrete structures.
The construction of a new sports hall and, some years later, a new indoor swimming pool for Torridge District Council.
In order to save this at-risk historic building, which was situated within a housing estate within Great Torrington, it was painstakingly dismantled stone by stone and reconstructed for posterity within the gardens at RHS Rosemoor. Several further projects at RHS Rosemoor followed, including the development of The Eric Palmer Learning Centre.
The construction of a purpose-built surgeries, some together with an on-site pharmacies, for GP Doctors’ practices in Devon and Cornwall.
The Church at Halwill is a Grade II* listed building thought to have been built in the 14th Century or earlier, and the Tower is thought to be Saxon. We were contracted to re-roof the nave and porch of the building, including re-pointing to various areas. Specialist stoneworks repairs were also required and we were able to utilise the skillsets of our own trained masons and plumbers to carry out this delicate and sensitive restoration. Restoration works have also been undertaken to several other churches throughout North Devon.
Housing estates for local authorities and Housing Associations throughout North and West Devon and North Cornwall.
Advance factory units at various locations including Holsworthy, Bideford and Hatherleigh.
The re-purposing of industrial premises for our associated form of Builders’ Merchants.
The redevelopment and enlargement of a department store whilst is continued trading.
The complete renovation of a courtyard of stone barns to provide estate offices and ancillary accommodation to the main property. A district heating scheme powered by a biomass boiler was installed, and the work entailed extensive stonework alterations and specialist tanking works to create modern and functional interior spaces.
After the second world war J E Stacey & Co were involved in the development of Torridge Vale Dairy in Torrington, the now sadly missed producers of Rose of Torridge butter and cream. At this time the construction process was much more heavily labour intensive than it is today, and the company had as many as 200 tradesman and labourers on the books.
