Sara Crofts, IHBC Member and Head of Historic Environment at the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has written a blog for the Historic Houses Association magazine, abridged on the HLF website, explaining how HLF funding can help in bringing privately owned historic houses to a wider audience.
Sara Crofts writes:
Compelling stories can spring not only from the architecture of our nation’s houses, their expansive landscapes or beautiful gardens but also from the families that have cared for these places for centuries – and the wider communities whose lives have been touched by their connections with the estates.
