On
Friday 27th May 2016 Jo Churchill MP visited us at Orchard Barn. She met
with over thirty dedicated staff and volunteers at the Environmental
Education Centre.
Here,
Mrs Churchill attended talks outlining the history of the area and its
pioneering relationship with timber framing.
She
also had a go at making an oak peg and visited the site of a
restoration of a nineteenth century cart lodge.
Jo Churchill MP said: “I enjoyed the
visit to Orchard Barn and to see for myself so many volunteers
committed to the restoration and championing of sustainable woodworking
methods.
It was a pleasure to witness traditional
restoration and construction skills being taught within the community.”
