Manx National Heritage has given an update on work to refurbish Castle Rushen Courtroom.
Works were initially delayed by the Covid lockdowns at the start of 2021 but are now almost complete.
The trust plans to bring it back into regular use as part of the public space in the Castle. This will also enable the return of the investiture to Castletown, the Island’s ancient capital.
The works currently being undertaken by MNH involve the removal of the suspended ceiling and more closely recreating the height of the old courtroom.
Steve Blackford, Head of Properties for MNH said: “The intention is to restore something of the proportions of the courtroom as it was for over 130 years, and to complete the works in good time so that the room is available for the investiture of the next Lieutenant-Governor. Our aim is for this space to be available to the public as part of our development of the visitor experience at Castle Rushen, eventually bringing Derby House into play and allowing us to expand the interpretation of the castle into new areas. These works are part of our long term commitment to improve access to the Island’s cultural heritage.”
