Medieval Churches in Lincolnshire receive funding for repairs

More than £750 000 has been given to churches in Lincolnshire, including ones dating back to the 13th century, as part of a program by English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund to provide funding for the repair of historical churches.

Our very own Church of St Mary and St Peter in Harlaxton will be receiving £142,000 for repairs.

Dr. Anthony Streeten, Regional Director English Heritage said: “We are delighted to be able to help twenty places of worship in the East Midlands through this important grant scheme. Historic places of worship are at the heart of their communities. They give us beautiful spaces where people can find peace or companionship. Increasingly, these fine buildings are places in which to enjoy exhibitions and concerts or where local communities can even benefit from practical services such as post offices, shops, nurseries. These grants will reinforce the magnificent voluntary effort in helping to preserve and protect this wonderful part of our heritage for present and future generations to enjoy.”
