Heritage projects to share £7.4m funding
Three heritage projects - in Preston, Oxford and Torbay, Devon - have been handed a share of Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) investment worth £7.4m.
Oxford's University Church of St Mary the Virgin has secured £3.4m towards repairs to the façade and interior, along with plans to display the history of the property. Torre Abbey in Torbay has been handed £2.8m to allow the phase two of a restoration project to commence, including the extensive conservation of the medieval ruins.
Elsewhere, the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston has been awarded nearly £1.2m to help fund the creation of the attraction's new Guild Gallery. HLF chief executive Carole Souter said: "These inspirational and important projects showcase our heritage at its very best, each providing their local communities and visitors with a special look into the past."
