We're working on a mammoth 12-month project with Historic England and Havering London Borough Council to rescue 15th century Tithe Barn! The barn, located in Upminster, is a 'scheduled monument' which is the highest level of heritage protection. The first phase of restoration includes re-thatching the roof with 30 tonnes of reed, plus repairs to structural timbers and historic brickwork. ￡650k of funding towards the project will help restore the barn to and preserve our history for future generations to enjoy! ?? https://lnkd.in/ghSb32bE
