Be a part of history at Wellesbourne restoration site
The posts at the blacksmiths’ and wheelwrights’ site will be voluntary but will pose opportunities to develop skills and see the workings of the redevelopment, on which the Friends of Chedham’s Yard have been working hard for many years.
The site will also need gardeners and shop assistants. Anyone interested can attend volunteer open events at the Methodist Church in Bridge Street, Wellesbourne, on Saturday (January 21) from noon to 3pm or on Monday from 7pm to 9pm.
