Door and doorset manufacturer LS Group is celebrating 150 years of manufacturing at its Barnstaple factory.

The event has been marked with the launch of a grant-aided community history project and a visit from local MP and shadow chancellor Oliver Letwin.

Early involvement with arts and crafts furniture forms the core of the community project being carried out by the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon. The Your Heritage fund is providing a grant to help pay for the initiative.
