Three Hundred and Fifty Years of Conservation

Today at the UK Historical Authors' Blog I am talking about the conservation work at Ashdown House and the stunning hard hat tours that are available to visitors this season. My fellow guides and I are now fully trained to take people up to the seventh floor of the scaffolding to view the ongoing restoration work on the house. It's fascinating stuff, from the dates carved into the stone by the original builders to the bright red colour scheme originally inside the house! If you are visiting Oxfordshire do come and visit us and see for yourself the wonderful historical artefacts and hear the story of Ashdown through 350 years of history!
