📢 Save St Paul's, Truro

Our online petition opposing the building's proposed demolition has 2,874 signatures.

This is a great result, but the more recorded voices of opposition we can gather, the louder our campaign!

Come along to see a historic building get plastered!
The internal front wall of the first floor former Town Hall at the Grade 2* St Austell Market House is being re-plastered through a Community Capacity Grant. This will be in Cornerstone SuperTherm, a new insulating plaster.

Our final visit this year was short but sweet. Thanks to @NTTrelissick for arranging not one but three 'behind the scenes' tours of the house for our groups today.

Despite not all being together all day,it was a fabulous experience for all, thanks to Mike our tour guide 👍🏻

Our final visit this year on Sunday was to #Bude.
It rained - but seven of us had a good conversation in the Storm Tower and Phil filled us in on the history of the canal whilst we stood on the breakwater.
We also visited the church, and the small canal museum at Marhamchurch.
