This paper explores the challenges and solu-tions involved in restoring a historic landmark while integrating modern thermal efficiency and moisture management techniques. It addresses Bodmin Jail's architectural heritage and the complexities inherent in conserving its struc-ture, including managing moisture within thick masonry walls and selecting materials compat-ible with the building's historic fabric. The paper emphasises the importance of traditional lime mortars and insulation renders, designed to balance thermal performance and moisture control in an exposed environment. The reader will gain insights into conservation strategies that combine traditional and innovative methods, particularly for historic buildings subject to harsh environmental conditions. The paper offers practical knowledge on selecting compat-ible materials, understanding moisture dynamics within masonry and applying insulating renders in a conservation context. Additionally, readers can expect to learn about the analytical pro-cesses used to develop mortars and renders that meet both aesthetic and performance require-ments, reinforcing the principles of sympathetic restoration.
