Library Restoration Update

We really have begun in earnest, a huge steel frame is supporting the fireplace while our trusted builders dismantle the stone front and uncover the hidden years of the house's history. We have exposed the second flue, the first flue was large enough to climb up and clean!
A large oak beam, substantially reduced by rot has been removed from above the lintel stones with no hope of repair, and in the hallway passage we have uncovered carved circular holes in the original medieval walls - and which remain miraculously intact. Watch out for the next instalment! We will shortly have a dedicated page on the website under Abbey section.

Look out for more exciting news in the future, and we look forward to seeing you here soon -
