Medieval building reopened after £300k restoration

A medieval building that was once on the national "at risk" register has been restored and will now be open to the public.

The Grade I listed building at 26 Westgate Street in Gloucester is the largest surviving historic timber-framed townhouse in the country.

Historic England supported the restoration with a grant of more than £300,000.

Andrew Malone, owner of 26 Westgate, said: "The building is looking fantastic and the door to Maverdine Lane is now open to the public to enjoy the amazing Tudor facade."
