Historic building 'needs urgent structural work'

THE historic Castle Goring needs urgent attention or there is a good chance it will have to undergo a complete restoration of its decorative interior.

That is the view of David Brock, English Heritage's team leader for West Sussex, who said: "The actual structure does have some significant problems.

"Most of the problems arise from the fact that water has been getting in for a very long time."

Mr Brock said that even if there was not a structural problem, there would be a loss of both the historic and archiutectural interest if the decorative plaster was damaged.

He added that rotting would put the plaster at risk.

The Grade 1 Listed building in Arundel Road, Worthing is on English Heritage's 2007 Buildings at Risk register in Priority A category.
