As a new venture we have set up an area in the Museum where members of the public can browse, under supervision, through our large photographic archive and documents relating to family history, such as census records. A computer and desk for this was financed by a grant. We have also restarted our evening talks. the first one was in September, although the frequency will be somewhat less than previous.

We are eligible for these grants as our shops are classed as businesses and we pay business rates for the hvo buildings we o(£upy and maintain. We were required to cease trading whilst in lockdown. This situation continued into 2021 and we received further coronavirus grants totalling over £12,OCMJ. Further grants from Dorset County council and other organisations and benefactors lifted this income to over £30,000. We resumed trading18ter in the year and made signrficant profits from the Mill & Museum. These incr8ases from the previous y8ar can be seen on the Receipts area of the account sheet. Our total income for the year rose to £43,726. Unfortunately, our payments rose but not as dramatic as our income. With the years profits were able to replace our ageing and uneconomic heating system in the Museum. The payment for this has been spread over 2 years and totals nearly £10,CNJO.
