For many years the Society has been involved with the preservation of the Greenside Lime Kiln. It was originally brought to our attention by our late Chairman, Dr. John Satchell, who was instrumental in having it scheduled by English Heritage. Following a huge amount of work by the Society, working with SLDC and Oxford Archaeology North, a Lottery grant was obtained to cover the costs involved. You may have noticed that work has started and is progressing steadily with the site now cleared of invasive trees. The design for the ironwork on the kiln top and in front of the double hearth is simple and attractive. We have not yet been asked for any teachers’ packs, booklets or other information, which is part of our continued commitment to the scheme.
Late news: The structure is in a worse state than was originally expected and more funding will be required to stabilise the walls and buttresses.
