On the count of 3...

Today marked the start of our building project, with the builders lifting our burial chamber using the jack and pack method. For those of you who don’t know what that means (we didn’t either until today!), the burial chamber was lifted using jacks, with the space between the floor and the underside of the boat being filled or packed, using breeze blocks.

It was a fantastic day, with the media in attendance, and lots of interviews and photographs being taken.

Don’t forget, we are open to the public from Wednesdays to Sundays, so why not come down and look at the fascinating work that’s taking place and watch the National Trust in action!
