CORFE Castle is hosting a 'Lime Slam' to highlight the use of lime in historic buildings.
The special workshop, open to the public, is scheduled for Saturday, March 9.
It aims to explain the importance of using lime for the conservation of historic buildings and will reveal some of the original mortars used at Corfe Castle.
This will be the first of the Building Limes Forum’s (registered charity) UK events of 2019 which invites the public and its members to discover more about building limes.
It is therefore very fitting that Corfe Castle, where the first stone was laid more than 1,000 years ago and is still a gleaming tower of Purbeck limestone, should be the subject for the first Lime Slam of 2019.
Corfe Castle visitor experience officer Pam White said: "Corfe Castle is the perfect conservation work case study
"There are records available of what work was done and where and Dorset is one of only three counties in England where the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments of England carried out a comprehensive survey."
