Our Heartfelt Thanks
The opening of our bookshop would not have been possible without the expertise of PAYE Stonework and Restoration Ltd and our commitment to preserving Leeds Castle’s unique heritage. PAYE, a market-leading stonework and restoration contractor based in London and the South East, generously donated their time and skills to help us breathe new life into the Pavilion.
The team worked tirelessly and completed the restoration in less than a week, delivering exceptional quality that exceeded our expectations.
The Pavilion restoration project is a testament to what can be achieved when heritage experts, local communities, and passionate individuals come together.
We are deeply grateful to PAYE for their generous support and to everyone involved in bringing this vision to life. To learn more about this project, visit here.
