Framlingham Castle is a historic estate that was built in the 12th Century by Roger Bigod, the Earl of Norfolk. It has a rich history, from medieval battles to a Victorian workhouse, and now it serves as a tourist attraction with guided tours, run by English Heritage. It also has a more contemporary claim to fame thanks to the Ed Sheeran song, “Castle on the Hill”, which references Framlingham Castle in the song and title!
As part of renovations for the castle, we were contracted by English Heritage to visit the site and erect a range of scaffolds in several sections of the castle in order to perform a variety of renovation services. Alongside the construction of a new cafe and exhibition centre, we also helped to make repairs to the castle walls.
There has been quite a bit of news coverage regarding the renovations to Framlingham Castle, including a report by the BBC which you can find here.
