Congratulations to the Judge’s Lodging in Presteigne who have been awarded £187,000 from the Community Ownership Fund matching a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. These awards will fund a project to transform the former caretaker’s flat at the museum into two holiday lets.

The Judge’s Lodging describe this as a truly transformational moment with income from the flats supporting the museum’s long term sustainability.
