Thanks for taking the time to contact us. At the moment the priority is conservation - as with any project like this there are parts that are in better condition than we expected and inevitably the reverse! We are concentrating on acquiring suitable materials to replace rotted parts. We will also need three new windows as they had been removed and boarded over. The next stage is building a brick base (using the bvricks recovered from the chimney and rear lean-to and then starting re-erection.
The location will be private however if you wish to see it or even help out then would you leave your name and contact details on the phone line and we will get in touch.

Regards

Chris Phillimore

Re: Axminster Gates Box
I note with interest that you have obtained this box, an important local landmark for over a hundred years, and although I was concerrned to see that it had been removed, I am encouraged to learn that it has not been lost. May I ask what plans you have for the box, where it may be re-erected, and whether it will be accessible to the public?

Kind regards,
