We have started the rebuild on site! Now that Covid restrictions have been eased and we are able to have up to 6 volunteers together on site we have purchased the wood needed using the funds you so kindly donated, and we held the first day of construction on the 8th April. It was a cold day but there was tremendous enthusiasm to be starting the rebuild, and to recreate the iconic roundhouse at the center of our heritage site! Once again, thank you to all who have supported Hands on Heritage through these challenging times. Stephen Trustee

We are now on site for essential maintenance and repairs and planning work on the roundhouse rebuild. Materials being sourced from local sustainable woodlands, and Norfolk reed has been ordered for thatching. Ash poles will be used for the structural frame, hazel for rafters and wattling. The lead volunteer for this work is the same person who lead the original build some 10 years ago, so it will present a great opportunity to learn form past experience and share knowledge with other volunteers, and Covid restrictions allowing, local schools.

Wow! YOU have done it! The target of £2,000 for roundhouse materials has been reached...even exceeded! Thank you so much from all the volunteers at Hands on Heritage!! Such tremendous support from so many well wishers, it is very humbling. We are hoping to hear from Forestry England next week with news of when and how we can return to site and start work to repair the damage done, and begin the roundhouse rebuild. It may be a while before schools are allowed to restart workshops, but as soon as they can we will be ready to welcome them.
