Carrying out important project work
Another advantage of having the doors shut for a period over winter is that it provides a good opportunity for larger projects to be undertaken. These are typically rewiring and building conservation work that affect large areas of the building. These tasks cannot easily be carried out whilst visitors are being admitted to the property.
Nevertheless we are always looking for ways to make this work accessible to and safe for visitors - so look out for opportunities to take a peek behind the scenes.
