Following the conservation audit carried out at Crofton in December 2021, funded by a grant from the Association of Independent Museums and Pilgrim Trust, we have been fortunate to obtain a further grant from the same organisations to help develop our skills and procedures.
With this further grant from AIM/Pilgrim Trust, we were able to train our volunteers, who are responsible for maintaining and operating the Grade 1 listed engines, on approaches relevant to our industrial heritage at Crofton and to get advice on developing our emergency plans. We were also able to purchase light and temperature/relative humidity monitors to help us understand changes in environmental conditions at Crofton which not surprisingly can vary widely in buildings which are over 200 years old.
