It’s an expensive job and the two phases together cost around £270,000, that’s the equivalent to selling 540,000 postcards, 150,000 cups of tea or 4,285 annual memberships!
Our aim is to improve the security, safety and environmental conditions in the house. As guardians of this beautiful property it’s important that we do everything we can to keep the house conserved and keep it standing for another 500 years.
