About Me

Heritage Lincolnshire is running an innovative approach to managing heritage at risk by training and supporting a network of volunteer 'heritage stewards' to complete surveys on Lincolnshire's heritage assets including historic buildings, places of worship, parks and gardens, conservation areas and archaeological sites. Project Officers Michael Knapton and Natalie Hamilton, together with some of our keen Heritage Stewards, will be writing a weekly blog on the Heritage at Risk project which will provide updates on the latest news and goings on, as well as offering an insight in to the day to day running of the project and the experiences of our Heritage Stewards.

Watch this space


Having just recovered from the excitement of the Hands on Heritage residential, plans are now underway for our next young person’s event.

We have been working with the Diocese of Lincoln to plan another ‘hands on’ type of event. As the Hands on Heritage expedition proved, this type of event can be both extremely rewarding and enjoyable. As one young person put it: “It was really informative without being overwhelming or dull.” Watch this space…

In other news we have recently recruited our 253rd Heritage Steward, and our next Heritage Steward training day is also fully booked. It is wonderful to see such support for the project and it really illustrates the level of interest that local people have in protecting Lincolnshire’s heritage.

Our dedicated Heritage Stewards are making great progress with 4,500 surveys now complete. Already, the data collected by our volunteers is being used by English Heritage for inclusion in their places of worship at risk survey. Keep up the good work!
