EAST Lindsey District Council has agreed to hand Church Farm Museum in Skegness over to the local community for £1.
Providing The Village Church Farm Limited, a company set up to protect the future of the important local asset, is granted funding by Lincolnshire County Council, the land and buildings will all be handed over as part of a Community Asset Transfer.
This is the third such arrangement East Lindsey District Council has agreed in order to protect the future of important local attractions and facilities.
The Village Church Farm Limited requested the transfer of the land and buildings after developing a detailed business plan that if successfully delivered will ensure the museum, which includes Skegness’ second oldest building, a traditional farmhouse dating back to 1760 and a thatched cottage, continues be an important attraction for many years to come.
Portfolio Holder for Finance at the District Council, Councillor John Upsall, said: “I am delighted the Executive Board has made this decision, which means that if funding from Lincolnshire County Council is forthcoming Church Farm Museum will be handed over to the newly formed organisation. It’s clear there is huge enthusiasm for this project within the town and I wish those involved every success.”
A hidden gem of the East Coast, Church Farm Village gives a glimpse of agricultural life. Experience life in a Victorian farmhouse, explore the thatched 'mud and stud' farm labourer's cottage, marvel at Bob the traction engine and much more!
