HAPPY EARTH DAY. Tolpuddle Old Chapel was built out of the earth in 1818. Now it has been renovated by stone masons using chalk earth from the Piddle Valley. @SSHConservation @Greendale_Build @cob_lime @HistoricEngland @HEA_CON @HeritageFundL_S

The bronze lettering looks splendid on the south side of the new extension, painting continues and ceiling lights are installed in the Old Chapel. @SSHConservation @Greendale_Build @HeritageCobLime @HistoricEngland @HEA_CON @HeritageFundL_S @HeritageFundUK @HTNmembers #heritage

The newly revealed interior & exterior shots of the building give a real ‘chapel’ feel. @SSHConservation @Greendale_Build @SSHConservation @HeritageCobLime @HistoricEngland @HeritageFundL_S #Heritage #Conservation #Renovation

Work progresses on the preparation for a new west window and the final conservation work on the surfaces of the external cob walls. @SSHConservation @HeritageCobLime @hea_con @HistoricEngland @HeritageFundL_S @HeritageFundUK #Cob #Heritage

We are nearing the final stage of conserving the cob on the north wall. @SSHConservation @Greendale_Build @HeritageCobLime @HistoricEngland @HeritageFundL_S @HeritageFundUK #Cob #Heritage #Conservation

Looking forward to launch of book, 50 years WH Convention, at German Federal Office, Berlin, here with IreneFogerty and all the team #worldheritage #GermanFederalOffice

See three more stonemasons working on cob conservation using their own perfected technique. @SSHConservation @Greendale_Build @heritagecoblime @HistoricEngland @HeritageFundL_S @HeritageFundUK

See the conservation work on two different sections of the cob walls. TOCT is so fortunate to have such a skilled team of stonemasons on site. Thank you to Sally Strachey Historic Conservation. @SSHConservation @Greendale_Build @heritagecoblime @HistoricEngland @HeritageFundL_S

Looks like the Old Chapel will be warmer this winter than in 1818! See the relaying of the clay Roman tiles. It is great to see our lovely cob blocks being laid below the west window opening. @SSHConservation @Greendale_Build @heritagecoblime @HistoricEngland @HeritageFundL_S
