A ‘heritage quartet’ of significant buildings, from the second-oldest cathedral in England to the 20th-Century icon that is the National Theatre, will benefit from the latest round of Heritage Lottery Fund funding.
£11million will go towards upkeep, restoration and development of these important sites – from a new visitor’s centre in Scotland’s Royal Dunfermline to exhibition space for the ‘hidden treasures’ of Rochester Cathedral. HLF has also awarded development funding for three projects in Surrey, Dorset and Derry-Londonderry respectively and one that spans a number of regions.
Carole Souter, Chief Executive of the HLF, said ‘From the medieval to the modernist, these places are all in need of a metaphorical ‘wash and brush up’ and that’s where the Heritage Lottery Fund is stepping in and playing a crucial role.’
