Questionnaire for Heritage Lottery Fund bid
St. Mary’s Church Wymeswold is under threat following the discovery of more dry rot in the roof, which urgently needs replacing. An application has been made to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and the aim is also to put St. Mary’s on the map as an important heritage site, and to have more history-based activities in Wymeswold.
To help secure National Lottery Heritage funding, as many people as possible are needed to give their input. Please help by completing this survey, which is also published in June’s edition of the Link.
