The Bread Oven is secure!
It was great news to hear that the bread oven at the Moulin has been secured, we have one of the finest original examples of an outside bread kiln or bread oven in France. Our builder said it was the best example he had seen and was pefect and complete.
During the renovation there was a lot of ground activity, heavy plant, machinery etc and there was a worry that this could displace some of the internal oven bricks. To counter this we refilled the oven with sand, this did the trick and the major renovation work has finished with a fully intact French bread oven.
To keep the oven preserved for all time and also in a usable condition we have put a blockwork fascia on it which ties in the whole structure , this will have a further natural stone facia applied to it at a later date.
Here you can see the pictures of the Bread Oven – These shots are before any restoration work
