- ... that "one of the finest cut brick façades" in the United Kingdom (pictured) has been partially obscured by scaffolding for four years, as funds are raised for its repair? Source: The facade quote ("one of the finest cut brick façades in the country") is taken direct from: Nairn, Ian; Pevsner, Nikolaus; Cherry, Bridget (1 January 2002). Surrey. Yale University Press. p. 240. ISBN 978-0-300-09675-0. and the rest comes from: "Waverley Borough Council is expected to bid for £638,553 from the Arts Council’s Museum Estate and Development Fund (MEND) later this month towards the restoration of the 300-year-old building’s facade.But even if successful in its bid, this will leave the council a shortfall of £200,000 to make up, with Waverley hoping to secure “partnership funding from external sources” before dipping into its own budgets to meet this sum.Farnham Town Council reaffirmed its pledge to contribute £10,000 in August. But with the scaffolding having already been erected at the museum for over four years, nearby residents George and Yolande Hesse are reaching the end of their tether. In desperation, George – a Farnham Residents town councillor – and his wife, herself a retired architectural designer, have put their hands in their own pockets, pledging £500 towards the repairs. They are now hoping to launch a crowdfunding appeal to help chip away at the potential £200,000 shortfall." from: Gee, Daniel (18 September 2022).
