Church<br />
receives<br />
£10,000<br />
lottery boost<br />
St James War Memorial<br />
restoration underway for<br />
centenary celebration.<br />
Parishioners at St James Church are<br />
celebrating a £10,000 grant award from<br />
the National Lottery Heritage Fund.<br />
Accessing funds from the First World<br />
War: Then and Now programme, the<br />
money will go towards the restoration<br />
of the memorial which was built 100<br />
years ago. Cllr Andy Kelly said “This is a<br />
fantastic boost to the heritage of our<br />
area. The monument in the church yard<br />
is the village memorial to those lost in the<br />
Great War. In recent years, the memorial<br />
and its surrounding area and paths have<br />
fallen into disrepair. The project will not<br />
only restore an important local asset<br />
but opens the heritage up to a wider<br />
audience.”<br />
The restoration will also repair pathways<br />
and chain fencing, deliver education<br />
sessions with the primary school,<br />
create a guide book and interpretation,<br />
and hold open days to involve more<br />
people in the heritage. A reopening and<br />
celebration day is also planned.<br />
