Historic house cuts carbon thanks to grant

The amazing Rookhow Quaker Meeting House in the Rusland Valley is almost 300-years-old and is being brought back to its former glory.

The Grade II* listed building secured around £15,550 from the Low Carbon Lake District Grants Scheme to install an air source heat pump (ASHP).

The Lake District Foundation was delighted to support this as it will improve comfort levels in the building, protect its fabric and reduce carbon footprint.

Rookhow’s redevelopment has been made possible by several trusts and individuals who have funded this fantastic project.

We visited recently to check on developments with Sue Nicholls, Rookhow Development Manager.

From May 2022 Rookhow will be open to the public on first and third Friday of every month 10am-4pm. For more info contact Sue at Rookhow: [email protected].
