A Baysgarth House update with Barton Civic Society

Closed for five years and looking forlorn, this fine Georgian house is now poised ready to start a new chapter in 2025.  Phase one in the Spring is focussing on the stable block and cottage to create a tearoom and a display about Hopper Cycles.  Attention then turns in the summer to exhibition spaces in the House and a shop.

Architect Stephen Dixon outlines the process of renovating this historic building, and the conflict between heritage, budget and future uses.

Project Manager Liz Bennet presents the vision, compromises on the journey to reopening Baysgarth House and the goal of economic sustainability.
