National Lottery Heritage Fund

We are proud to announce that in 2025 we were awarded nearly £200,000 for our two-year project "From roots to shoots and bricks to candlesticks - showcasing heritage learning experiences within a Victorian walled garden setting."  This project is running from October 2025 to September 2027. 

​​

It is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to the National Lottery players, we will be able to continue our transformation of an 1850s walled kitchen garden, formerly part of the Grade II listed Wood Hall estate, that was neglected since the 1960s.

​​

Through this project, we will use this unusual and unique setting to showcase heritage learning experiences and help to reconnect local people to the heritage of their walled garden, traditional skills/crafts, the land and nature in an environmentally conscious way.
