Story

As well as essential conservation, we want to help our many visitors enjoy their day.

New interpretation will explain Crofton and its people. New activities will encourage more visitors and volunteers to enjoy this special place.   We will:

  • Re-roof the Boiler House and refurbish the roof lantern, repair or replace rotten timbers, stop water ingress in the west wall
  • Refurbish the Leat area to stop it leaking
  • Deal with asbestos 
  • Provide a Disabled Toilet
  • Design new interpretation
  • Provide new activities and learning opportunities such as our 1920s cottage garden

We already have £75,000 and our volunteers will complete work worth more than £80,000.

The Heritage Lottery Fund are considering a grant of £550,000. 

To unlock this, we must raise around a further £150,000 to complete our project.  Please help us reach our target. We promise to use your donation well.
