During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.
But many have been hit hard.
Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.

It used to be three separate rooms: the kitchen, pantry and scullery and underneath lies a small cellar, now sealed and unaccessible.
It is located on the west side of the house and has a brilliant view of the historic Coachhouse through large window panels.
This delightfully sunny room is also a popular room used today for conferences, workshops and the annual Caccia Birch House Bridal Fair as seen in the picture below
