The Boiler House Georgian Lantern window & Engine House windows Appeal

Georgian Lantern window & Engine House windows damaged by weather.

Crofton’s unique Georgian lantern window, situated on the roof of our boiler house, built in 1809, needs restoration. At the same time, the windows on the Engine House are also being repaired and repainted as necessary.

Crofton Beam Engines sits on a promontory and is exposed to strong Westerly winds that whistle through the valley, often carrying squally rain, often in large volumes, as well as sleet, hail and snow in the winter.
