Engaging Heritage

Back in Ledbury today with the John Masefield Memorial Project team. I can't resist a mooch round when I visit. It's such a vibrant market town, packed with independent retailers and historic buildings. A great place to get inspiration to take to other towns.

Have you visited?

Yesterday I got to visit Crossbrook Farm, somewhere I had wanted to visit for ages. Meticulously renovated by Stuart and Vicki, the spaces are quirky, stylish, and finished to a very high standard. The former chapel is certainly interesting!

The small estate is now run as 3 holiday cottages, supported by a wellness space and small events space. If you are looking for somewhere peaceful to stay in the Worcestershire countryside, or an inspiring space for an event do consider Crossbrook.

Thank you both for opening your home and business to us last night and showing us around.

The team at Pennybrick are passionate about its place in the local community. Let's help them get their survey out there

SURVEY: The below survey has been sent to us by Neath Port Talbot Council Heritage Neath Port Talbot's Community Heritage Officer.

Neath Methodist Church – known to many as The Pennybrick – has been part of our town for over 115 years. Now we’re planning its future, and we want local people to shape what it becomes next.

We’re running a short survey to understand what our community really needs – from activities and services to new ideas for the building.

Whether you use the church, have visited before, or have never stepped inside – your voice matters. Takes just a few minutes:
