Hi
Just thought that list members would like to know that the Holy Well
building in The Malvern Hills is nearing the completion of the restoration.
The present building dates back to the 1830s and was restored in the 1970s
by John Parkes. Since then it has steadily deteriorated and last year was
put up for sale in a sorry state. Fortunately Mike Humm came along and
purchased it with a view to restoration, with almost total disregard for
cost. The result is a magnificent restoration, which retains the public part
of the building and access to the spring. There are still a number of
problems to be sorted out but at least the future of the stylish building is
assured.
Malvern Well Dressing is going to happen in spite of F and M scares. The
dates are 14-16 Sept and it is hoped to have many of the springs in the
hills decorated. Last year 18 were decorated. The coach tours will take
place early afternoon from Malvern town centre on the Saturday and Sunday.
Comne and have a look at the Holy Well and the well decorating at the same
time. More information from Cora at [log in to unmask]
Hope to see you
Bruce
