Lincolnshire Heritage at Risk Project

HTL CASE STUDIES Heritage at risk

Examples of Heritage At Risk discovered during the project:

Throughout the project we held Heritage Steward training events for volunteers at places across the county including, Burgh le Marsh, Grantham, Sleaford, Alford, Louth, Metheringham, Caistor, Gainsborough, Holbeach, Horncastle, Lincoln, Market Rasen and Stamford.  Here are some pictures from these events between 2010-2012:

Young people training days also took place as part of the project, including having a go at dry stone walling, visiting Tupholme Abbey to complete surveys and pottery recording and a residential trip.

We attended local events to let people know about the project:

The project was viewed as a national pilot scheme for heritage at risk as it was the first to successfully attract volunteers to get involved with their local historic environment.

The project not only impacted on the heritage in Lincolnshire, it also influenced projects much further afield by providing other organisations with a model to follow. The publication of a toolkit, together with the end of project conference helped organisations elsewhere in the country to deliver a similar project in order to tackle the issue of heritage at risk in their area.
