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.

Welcome to the new Heritage at Risk blog


We have Facebook and Twitter accounts and now Lincolnshire Heritage at Risk has a new weekly blog!

My name is Natalie Hamilton and I am one of the Project Officers working on Lincolnshire Heritage at Risk, a national pilot project which aims to survey and record the condition of Lincolnshire's Heritage assets with the help of volunteer Heritage Stewards.

Together with Project Officer Michael Knapton and some of our willing volunteers we will be keeping you up to date on the latest project news and giving you an insight into the experiences of our Heritage Stewards.

Thanks to the LincMe team who delivered a great training session for us on Tuesday which introduced us all to the wonderful world of blogging. Each member of the blogging team will take it in turns to write our weekly blog, so you can expect to hear from me again in a few weeks time…

In the meantime I will be busy preparing our programme of events for this summer, we have lots coming up including a Heritage Steward training day in Caistor, an illustrated talk on 'The Lost Villages of the Wolds' and a look at 'Why Do Buildings Fall Down?', not forgetting the volunteer social event at Doddington Hall. I can also reveal that we are organising an action-packed 3-day 'Hands on Heritage' expedition for young people aged 16-25…Details will be released soon!

As its Volunteers' Week next week I would like to say a big thank you to all 238 of our volunteers for their contribution to the project, without you it would not be possible!

Natalie, Heritage at Risk Project Officer
