The Conservation and Display project has two components. These have been fully funded through generous contributions totalling £61,300 from charities, local trusts, organisations and many individuals made via the BS&MF and Brecknock Art Trust. Our appeal for funding for this project closed in November 2018. Click below on any of the specific items for details.
