It was great to see such
a good turn out yesterday at our local heritage day event in Boston .
The event, based at
Fydell House, featured a number of different activities and tours including a
guided tour of ‘the grandest house in town’, a tour of Boston Guildhall and a
visit to Hussey tower where attendees were able to climb to the top of the
tower and witness the repair works which are currently underway.
Some of our regular
volunteers called in to show their support but numbers were mostly made up of
local people simply dropping in.
The majority of
attendees were not aware that there are approximately 250 buildings of special
architectural or historic interest in the town. Many thought the reason for
some of these being at risk was lack of interest or awareness and they
suggested more local heritage day events to raise awareness and promote what Boston has to offer.
Our thanks to the
volunteers at Fydell house who helped to make the event a success.

Heritage at Risk Project Officer
