Can You Help? – Sponsor A Brick, And Help Preserve The Castle
Posted by Simon Emmett on November 23, 2009, 14:49
Severndroog Castle on Shooters Hill, is a Grade 2 listed building presently on English Heritage’s “Buildings at Risk“ register.The castle, which has been left to decay for years, is a 60-foot high triangular brick-built tower designed by architect Richard Jupp. The eighteenth-century tower was built by a heartbroken widow in a clearing, high on Shooters Hill, in an ancient bluebell wood.
However, the Severndroog Castle Building Preservation Trust (SCBPT), formed in 2003 to save the Castle from being sold off to private developers, is in desperate need of money to preserve the castle, and hopefully restore it to its former glory.
To achieve this goal the trust have begun a fundraising initiative to encourage supporters to “sponsor a brick”. You can be part of history by sponsoring a brick for Severndroog for just £5.
By investing in this heritage, you will be contributing to the history and preservation of this unique building.
