What the charity does

The charity was set up to care for, maintain and preserve the Shawbost Norse mill and kiln buildings, mill workings and surrounding area including access to the site. The mill was restored to its present form in 1993/1994 with the kiln being built in 1996. The charity's aim has been to keep the site as near the original as possible, so as to show visitors what this example of crofting life was like.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet

The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Norse Mill Society is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
