After many years, the sorely missed finial has been re-created and reinstalled.. We are now in the final stages of work to the frontage and look forward to revealing all soon ❤️

Finally, the replacement for our missing Victorian roof finial is home! Huge thanks to Paul Gilbert the blacksmith for helping us realise this dream. #Ilfracombe #PeriodHome #VictorianRestoration #BedAndBreakfast #finial
Thanks to Sarah at Heritage Cob and Lime in Bideford, making authentic Lime Mortar for use around our windows, we look forward to working more with Sarah in the future! #ilfracombe #bideford #heritage #periodhome #victorianrestoration #bedandbreakfast #northdevon #limemortar #limepointing
Top level material this morning… the sun is out, so I thought I’d give y’all more detail on our finial replacement ❤️ #ilfracombe #victorianrestoration #finial #northdevon
Loving the progress on our windows so far.. we are saying goodbye to bring white and hello to a delightfully vintage green and yellow combo! Can’t wait to see the finished result ❤️ #ilfracombe #victorianrestoration #bedandbreakfast #sashwindows #northdevon
Very very very pleased with our new sash colour scheme.. designed to pay homage to the southern railway station of #ilfracombe that once stood just behind us.. 2 windows complete … 28 to go! Wish us luck!

Anyone else bored of white windows?
We have decided to go with something a little more period, a little for vintage and a LOT more FUN! More details on the video .. let us know your thoughts! #sashwindows #victorianvilla #victorianrestoration #bedandbreakfast #ilfracombe #northdevon #periodhome
Repainting this tomb was a bold move by the Victorian restorers. I’m not sure they truly achieved authenticity… It’s believed to be the 14thC of Dir John de Broughton, in Broughton Church, Oxfordshire #medieval #victorianrestoration #churchmonument #medievaltomb
