The upstairs room with the partition removed, here showing holes where ceiling joists would have been, will become the kitchen and disabled toilet.

The coffin rest has been moved to one side to allow wheelchair access, and the wall of the lych gate has been stripped of ivy and repointed.

Roofing and rendering Newly made cob in place in the wall

Soil is mixed with straw and then water is added
The cob is mixed by hand and then with a tractor, these days yak hair is used to bind the cob together
