What the charity does

The charity is involved in restoration of the old forge, together with its wheels and drive belts, in order to preserve something that is part of our national heritage. We feel that it is important to continue and maintain this work, so that the general public and future generations become aware of how things used to be in bygone days, and helped to shape the future .
