Florence Welch’s five-year renovation of a Grade II-listed Gothic mansion in Somerset is reported to be halted after bats were found on site, according to the outlets citing the project. Work first stopped earlier in the renovation when builders unearthed human skeletons, which were described as coming from an ancient burial ground. The property, which Welch bought in 2020, is reported to have a listed status and a renovation budget of around £2 million. The latest interruption is attributed to bats discovered during ongoing building activity, according to the reports. The coverage does not provide additional detail on how long the bat-related stop will last or what remediation steps are planned, but it indicates that both the earlier discovery of remains and the current wildlife issue have disrupted the renovation schedule. Overall, the reported updates describe a sequence of site-related findings that affect the construction timeline for the listed home.
