Help Restore a Scheduled Monument

Be part of History and help to restore a Grade II* Scheduled Monument whilst at the same time learning all about lime and how to lime point.

Day one starts with classroom time at the training centre: learning about the different types of lime, their uses and the best type of lime to use where. The afternoon will see you getting practical hands-on experience: making a traditional lime mix and then using it to carry out pointing repairs.

On days two and three we will take our new skills to Gunns Mill to start re-pointing one of the many walls that are in need of restoration. If you aren't able to attend for the full 3 days, then there is the option of 2 days where you will spend 1 day at the training centre and 1 day onsite at Gunns Mill.
