Hello,

Firstly, sorry for the lack of posts recently but they have been supplanted by the need to fill in funding forms.

As you know, our 1st Heritage Lottery Fund ("HLF") bid was submitted last August and declined in October.

After much feverish activity our 2nd HLF (bigger) bid was submitted yesterday evening via the "Our Heritage" scheme, just in time for the 22nd April deadline (yes.. that's today !). Only 6,000 words are allowed (we came in at 5,998 - quite honestl...

We were able to confirm that we have virtually all non invasive permissions (bar Diocesan paperwork) and additionally have invasive permissions regarding Welbeck Estates land. Put simply, this means that only the lack of funding is now preventing Phase 1 (Non Invasive Church & surrounding land) (£10,000 is required).

If we had the funding today then we could probably star...

Some good news from yesterday afternoon ..

The Diocese of Southwell have confirmed receipt of the completed D.A.C. form and our supporting documents from the P.C.C. re. our request to carry out non invasive activities at St. Mary's, Cuckney.
