Features

The Almonry Restoration Project: The Almonry needs your help. After 600 years, the building is in desperate need of repair and restoration. The timber frame is failing, the stonework needs attention and the roof needs replacing; in short, we must save this building.
What’s the plan: We will be carrying out a 2-phase project. Phase 1 will see the repair and restoration of the Almonry building. We will fix the timber frame, repair the walls, and replace the roof; we will install new rainwater goods, fix the windows, repoint the stonework and remove internal modern C20th stud walling that hides the beauty of the building. Alongside this we will be installing new energy efficient lighting and heating to make the space warmer, more welcoming and more sustainable.
Where are we now: In February 2024 we undertook more research to roofs and plaster infill panels, firstly to look at the condition in more detail and to investigate what materials had been used where. The surveys were a success but it was clear that 2 of our roof slopes were in really bad condition and work needed to be carried out as soon as possible. More fundraising was needed to secure the grants to get this emergency work completed.
Almonry 360 tour: The Almonry is now closed to the public and has been emptied and the majority of the old display cases removed and recycled. For the first time in decades, if not centuries, there is an empty building! Below is a 360 camera view of each of our rooms. Some areas are darker than others due to having no lighting in the space but we hope you enjoy haivng a look around.

Facilities
