The Market House

Lots of news to share with you this month…

Consent Given
We’re pleased to announce that both Listed Building Consent and Planning Consent has been granted, allowing the Trust to move forward with its formal Bid to raise funds for conserving the Market House.

Rowell’s Biggest Quiz
We enjoyed an impressive turnout at the Rowell Charter Inn on Thursday, 25 June with Quiz Master, Frank York (aka Bailiff to the Lord of the Manor) conducting 5 challenging rounds plus 2 tabletop rounds all supported by a Raffle.

By the end of the evening, victory in the Quiz went to Team: ‘No Alls’ who, in addition to winning a £50 Amazon voucher and a bottle of Liqueur Gin, also took home a trophy!

The evening raised over £700 towards our Market House Conservation Appeal – and our thanks go to everyone who turned out on this VERY hot evening.

The Trust would like to thank the following organisations and individuals for their generous donation of a wide range of Raffle prizes – from cuddly toys, culinary treats, bottles of wine and vouchers!
