‘No-one takes lightly the complexity of restoring one of the most important medieval buildings in Europe – unless you have no idea of what you’re embarking on!
As Master of the Lord Leycester, five years ago I visualised a quest to render the Lord Leycester fit for purpose – financially viable as a charity and as a heritage site. How little I understood the challenges that awaited me. Now my hair is grey, and joy means never seeing a skip again! But joy is also understanding we got there: now the Lord Leycester is positioned to offer visitors to our half-timbered treasure a visual and intellectual treat … and strong footfall means our survival into the future.’
Join Heidi Meyer as she shares with you the nightmare of a Grade I capital works project … and how she came out smiling!
