Which buildings did we work on?
Our Grant Scheme
We allocated major grant funding to help preserve, restore, and enhance historic buildings within the High Street Heritage Action Zone. You can see which buildings we worked on below. All works used traditional materials and methods. Our grants varied between 50% and 75% of the cost of the works.
