Cosworth revs up the Tithe Barn

TitheClean7It was fantastic to welcome a volunteer team from the company Cosworth; to help with the spring clean of the Landbeach Tithe Barn (pictured right; I am the one with the red broom!)

We were very fortunate to be blessed with good weather and the transformation over the day was wonderful. One long standing visitor to the Tithe Barn said it was the tidiest he had seen in 30 years!

Tithe Open DayThis is ahead of our open day this Saturday, the event link can be viewed at; www.facebook.com/events/1543588452589433/

Our working group (the forerunner to a Trust) is working hard with the District Council (who own the building) to ensure this building is saved and restored. Especially as it is the last remaining Tithe Barn in Cambridgeshire and the only one in the UK with it’s original brick floor.

There is still a long way to go in securing the long term future of this building, but we are certainly going in the right direction.
