💚Great news! We’ve been awarded a £200,000 heritage grant to make essential repairs at Bromwich Hall in West Bromwich, which was also once known as the Manor House. 🎉This will help preserve the historic Grade I listed building – one of our fabulous Sandwell Museums sites which hosts a wide range of activities and events – for future generations. The money will help us to complete urgent conservation and repair work on the building, including the roof, drainage, timber frame and panels. It paves the way for the hall to be removed from Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register once the works are completed. The timber-framed hall in Hall Green Road is one of only three Grade I listed sites in Sandwell, the others being Galton Bridge in Smethwick and Oak House in West Bromwich. The main hall was built in around 1270, with the current grouping of buildings largely complete by the early 17th century. Following significant restoration work in the mid-20th century, the building was run as the Manor House public house and restaurant until 2009. The £200,000 grant is from the Heritage at Risk Capital Fund, led by Historic England and funded by Department for Culture, Media and Sport . Thank you! (fb)
