RonaDeck Resin Bound Surfacing fit for a Queen

 

The Museum of Farnham, Surrey is housed in a Grade I listed Georgian townhouse. Known as Willmer House, it was built in 1718 by John Thorne, a local hop-merchant. In 1810 it became the Willmer House School for Young Ladies, then a boys school in the 1850’s, a private residence from the 1860’s, a dentist in the early part of the twentieth century, and opened as a museum in 1961.

The house displays a fine red-brick frontage and giant rusticated pillars. The interior is equally symmetrical and typical of any finely-proportioned Georgian townhouse. An equally impressive oak staircase dominates the entrance hall.

The Museum hosts school programmes throughout the year including including history days where pupils come dressed as Victorian School children ready for a lesson from the strict “headteacher”, or as Tudors to enter the cellar and prepare for a visit from Elizabeth I.

The Museum of Farnham is run by Waverley Borough Council, and was specially commended in the European Museum of the Year Award in 1994.

 

As part of an improvement scheme to the building and its external landscaping, RonaDeck Resin Bound Surfacing was laid onto external footpaths and seating areas.

 

The attractive surfacing perfectly complemented the beauty of the building and the mature planted gardens. The porous surfacing system also provides natural drainage for rainwater runoff, satisfying SuDS requirements.
