Tony showed us around and gave us an overview on what it takes to restore a building as old as ours. I think I agree with him when he talks about the renovation of the roof, those lanterns are pretty impressive.

What do you think?

John Sherrard has been working on lots of different pieces for the restoration, but here’s a quick look at the kiosk in particular.
