Changes to the Plans for the Castle

The original plans for renovating the Castle have been modified a bit recently, a case of fitting the dream to the budget, I think.
So now there will not be a new café in the coach house. Instead, it will be in the body of the Castle, on the ground floor. They've put on a café for events there before, quite successfully. They're also omitting a proposed window into the Medieval tower, and delaying the second floor reading room.
And they have a grant of £150,000 from the Clore Duffield Foundation to put in a Clore Learning Space on the first floor. This will be only the second Clore Learning Space in Wales - the first is at the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff. The room was chosen because of the good natural light, and will be used for workshops, talks and so on.
The contractors will be starting work soon....
