Melon House under surveillance

February 23, 2018 pershorepatty

As winter sets in, the brambles and nettles retreat once again. The Melon House (at least what remained of it) could now be studied without fear of getting stung. Nick Joyce, our friendly project Architect, and his ‘time team’ conducted a detailed survey of the building. Their brief was to compile a guide book for the restoration work which lay ahead.
