Restoration

There is an ongoing programme of restoration.
A lot of landscaping has been done to divert water away from the house and ensure its preservation.
The barn has been saved from collapse and work is ongoing and the space is being opened up.
There are two other collapsed buildings due for renovation
We welcome donations to continue to fund the restoration.
There will be a membership scheme.
