Restoration Work almost complete. The scaffolding has gone,so have the bees. The roof is repaired, renewed guttering & drainpipes, stonework pointed & some replaced. New, almost invisible, window guards. Old boot scrapers removed. When they were installed in 1861 they cost 35p. Some work still to be done on the drains & the porch is being re-plastered.
