Woodchester Mansion is the house that time
forgot.
This elaborately designed house in French Gothic
Revival style made entirely of golden limestone was started in 1855, but abandoned 16
years later.
It lay virtually undisturbed at the end of a
valley until it was taken over by the Woodchester Mansion Trust. The aims of the trust
uniquely combine historic building conservation, education and public access.
Today, work continues on repairs, but it has
been decreed that 'it will never be finished'.....so that it remains an unfinished
masterpiece.
Glasgow
Steel Nail Co were asked to produce a wrought
iron L-shaped nail to help secure
the stone slates to the roof.
