The Idea of the Trust
At the moment in the UK there are some 40,000 ancient farm buildings that are derelict and in danger of being lost. You could say that it is a disgrace for a nation not to look after important parts of its heritage. But on the plus side there are many benefits, especially when they are tucked away in the countryside, there is the fact that repairing and maintaining them helps with employment, they make homes for people and centres for small business.But no one knows what the future holds, so perhaps more important is not just saving the buildings but putting them to good use. This entails a knowledge of some of the traditional methods of farming and food production: skills that should never be forgotten.
Saving as many of these buildings as possible will add to the wealth of the nation in many ways. Reviving the buildings with new uses for them will bring back vigour into our countryside.
The Penrhos Trust has been formed to help care for this part of our culture and heritage.
