Event details
Friday 28 April 2023, 9.30 am to 3.30 pm
Join our SPAB Sussex Group for a training day at the Mint House in Pevensey. The day will be led by David and Barbara Martin, together with a local historian and archaeologist who are advising a very active Friends Group about this interesting Tudor building.
The Mint House has recently been upgraded to 2* and added to the Heritage at Risk Register in recognition of its significance in historic Pevensey. This is good opportunity to hear about its possible purpose, construction and proposals for its purchase and repair by the Friends of the Mint.
We will hear about the importance of Pevensey at that time, building types and their construction up to C 1600, and then question the purpose of the Mint. We will tour the building with the Martins, who are acknowledged experts in timber-framed buildings. Other specialists will talk and tour as well.
This promises to be a very informative and enjoyable day. The event fee includes refreshments and a buffet lunch.
