The original specification was to preserve
the lime kiln in its current condition, i.e. not to allow
further deterioration. This was achieved by careful excavation
of the core or ‘drum’, and installation of two brick piers
to support the aperture. Further meetings with Natural
England, the landowners and a structural engineer secured
additional funding to completely reinstate the limekiln.
