Fantastic news for people in North Cornwall that our wonderful heritage is getting vital support at this challenging time. The Department of Culture, Media and Sport have made £1.57bn of support available through its Culture Recovery Fund to support heritage and the wider cultural sector during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Scott Mann MP said:

“I am delighted that several of our constituency-based heritage projects have been awarded £587,900 from the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund.

“It is only right that we continue to support heritage and the wider cultural sector during the Covid-19 pandemic. I am especially pleased to see the massive £260k revenue funding for Bodmin & Wenford railway."

Revenue funding

The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Historic England have worked together to ensure that this significant investment from Government reaches the organisations most in need. This is the first tranche of funding for heritage, covering grants of up to £1 million, and is part of the £92 million Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage managed jointly by Historic England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The following grants are being made in your constituency:

Bodmin & Wenford PLC  £260,000

Bodmin Jail Museum Ltd  £202,000

St Teath PCC £12,900

The Arthurian Centre  £20,000

The Parochial Church Council Of The Ecclesiastical Parish Of St Petroc, Bodmin £25,000

Capital funding

12 organisations will receive £34 million from the Heritage Stimulus Fund, distributed by Historic England.  This money will support nationally important heritage attractions to restart construction and maintenance on cherished heritage sites to preserve visitor attractions and protect livelihoods for some of the most vulnerable heritage specialists and contractors in the sector.

The following grants are being made in your constituency:

English Heritage Trust: Tintagel Castle, awarded two grants of £56,000 and £12,000
