We had a fantastic day this week welcoming the National Trust’s Historic Environment Advisory Group to Feeringbury Farm Barn. The group are researching the adaptive reuse of rural buildings and selected Feeringbury as an exemplar project of an agricultural building that has undergone a special and imaginative conversion. Their visit will contribute to a piece of work that reports on creative ways to enhance and alter existing buildings.
