A YORK firm has been enlisted to help restore an historic house.
The Continuum Group in York, which designs and operates tourism, heritage and visitor attractions, was appointed by the Stowe House Preservation Trust to work on the restoration of Stowe House in Buckinghamshire.
In total, £36 million, will be spent on restoring the palatial 18th century house to its former glory.
Continuum will be involved in the second phase of this major project, which focuses on boosting public access to and enjoyment of the house and, ultimately, increase visitor numbers.
Past Forward, the group's design and build company, will develop a marketing strategy identifying the needs of target visitors with the support of the Continuum Group's PR and marketing division, Action Marketing.
And it will examine ways to enhance the interior visitor facilities and integrate the house with the gardens.
It is hoped this stage of the restoration will be completed by May 2005.
