Our Heritage Construction Skills project aims to support training and development of the skills needed to maintain the historic buildings and places of North Devon, where we live, work, learn and play. These buildings will go on for many years to come if we look after them well, with the right people, the right people, having the right skills, and using the right materials.
This website is a foundation for that work – helping to put the people, the skills, the materials and the old buildings together, for a better future for all.
