Get an insight into the traditional skills used to repair our buildings - and have a go yourself!


What does it take to repair and conserve historic buildings? Come along to our newest church and find out! St Peter's, Gamston, came into the care of the Trust in the spring of 2018, ahead of a two-year repair project costing in the region of £1.3 million.

Work is now underway on the site, so drop-in to this special open day to find out more about the traditional craft skills in use on the project. From lead work to stone shaping and re-pointing, see demonstrations and even have a go yourself! This free, drop-in event is suitable for the whole family - children's activities will be available on the day.
