THANKS to a successful fundraising campaign an important building in Kendal is on its way to getting a new roof. Determined fundraisers say they need £50,000 to cover the cost of scaffolding that will also provide a protective bubble over the huge Friends Meeting House roof as the work takes place. The Grade-II listed Georgian building is one of the finest in Cumbria; designed by local architect Francis Webster in 1816 as a purpose built Quaker Meeting House. “Keeping this wonderful building in good repair is very important,” said museum manager, Bridget Guest. “It's home to the Quaker Tapestry Museum and protects a large and eclectic collection of social history. It provides a welcoming and comfortable venue for community groups and local businesses, who can hire out rooms.
