APPLE STORE |
This smaller project created a quiet preparation area from a renovated Victorian Apple Store. It forms an attractive feature for the children to enjoy and has made it available for safe and practical use. |
 |
This apple store, on staddle stones, close to the walled garden, is said to be one of only two of its kind in the country. |
|
This unique historic building was in very poor condition and has been carefully restored under the guidance of the architect to Wiltshire Historic Buildings Trust. |
| Major Achievement: | ||
| Tenders were put out in accordance with an approved Schedule of Repairs and the successful tender was for £8,183 in January 2003. We then received the exciting news of a grant of £4,000 from Wiltshire Historic Buildings Trust. Great news - another £2,000 received from The Worshipful Company of Grocers and Welcome to Wessex proposed to make us the major beneficiary of a fundraising event last autumn. The latter achieved £1,750 for the project and we received donations from many people who were unable to attend. | ||
 |
Gift Aid provided a further boost, but we had to accept an increase in the tender to allow for steps with handrails to comply with current Health & Safety regulations. Wiltshire Historic Buildings Trust responded handsomely by increasing the £4,000 grant to 50% of the cost of restoration, up to a £5,750 maximum.
These pictures show the building after restoration. |

The project was completed at a total cost of £11,446.09 |

Handed over to Rowdeford School, it is now used by teachers to prepare lessons |
