Pennoyer's Buildings
Preservation Trust

The most recent Annual Report summarising progress of the Trust through the year 1997-98 has now been published.

We are determined that this building, which has been a central feature of this community for 600 years, should not be allowed to decay. Indeed, we believe that it can play a major part in the life of our village and the region into the next millennium, providing a resource for the area, assistance to local businesses and a tourist attraction. We plan not only to preserve the structure but to refurbish it and use it for a range of purposes, which include:

• small museum devoted to airship history
• gallery space to accommodate touring exhibitions
• a parish office
• a tourist information point
• a meeting room, available for hire as a training venue amongst other uses
• a mini-telecottage (information technology centre) where computers and associated equipment would be available for use by local firms, organisations and individuals

We have already obtained outline planning consent from South Norfolk Council to permit this change of use of the building.

The Pennoyer's Buildings Preservation Trust is a charity and company limited by guarantee. It was formed in 1995 to achieve the objective of retaining and restoring Pennoyer's School. Its founder members include Parish Councillors, the District Councillor and other concerned villagers. Membership is open to all individuals and organisations who are in accord with its aims.
