Lexham: Norfolk
Background
For centuries West Lexham was a busy farm, raising both pigs and a dairy herd as well as growing a range of arable crops.
This colourful period of its history came to an end about a decade ago. The least attractive agricultural buildings were demolished and indigenous woodland planted in their place.
The old farm is now in a trust with five families living in the existing houses. The very attractive old farm buildings have been used as workshops and storage. Big plans are now in motion to turn Lexham into a centre for innovation!
The Vision
To develop an innovation centre that will be a residential education centre on general lifestyle and sustainability; an arts centre; a rural Hub, an events and alternative conference centre and fully functioning rural community. Most importantly it will be a melting pot between them all!
