Lou is the owner of Cragend Farm with her husband Shaun, and deals with everything from Holiday Accommodation inquiries to egg collection from the chickens; she is the social media and web design finger-tapper.
Historic England came to visit the Silo and Farm this week to assess the repair work we have done to date.
2012 New Slate roof
2019 New floors and doors
The Building at Risk Officer and HE Architect were impressed with the work we had done and noted that the building still had some serious architectural repairs to be complete before it was taken off the Buildings at Risk register.
The HE description is being ameneded to recognise the work done and the date research that has confirmed the building was being built in 1884.
If you are interested in viewing the work we have done to date please contact us for more information.
