As builders clear the stalls and demolish the manger it is easy to see how the original walls are built directly on the bedrock.
With considerable human effort, noise and power tools the bedrock has to be cleared to allow for ventilated subfloor, plumbing and electrical services and eventual underfloor heating.
We are delighted to find the bedrock perfectly dry explaining why this 200+ year old property is remarkably free of rising damp.
Assured by experts there is no better foundation than solid rock we are reminded of what Jesus said in that well known parable (Luke 6:47-48):
"Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them ... is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built."
