An exciting day at Athelhampton…
In the early morning, before the house stirred and long before our visitors arrived, the medieval Great Hall echoed with industry. Three orange clad figures appeared, and piece by piece, a modern metal structure was erected, in sharp contrast with the ancient beams sheltering the hall.
After careful planning and the necessary permissions, we are beginning a project that gently reverses a change made some three hundred years ago, allowing the house to speak a little more closely to its earlier self.
Athelhampton is open as usual, and our stewards will be happy to explain the project! If you return through the coming months, you'll be able to see the progress, as it takes shape.
If you visit the House & Gardens on a weekday during January and February you can enjoy our delicious Winter Warmer menu for just £5.99! (£9.99 for non-visitors)
