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.

300 and counting!


It was fantastic to see such a good turn out at our training event on Saturday when 25 keen volunteers came along to learn more about the project and find out how to get involved.

Volunteers explore the site of Sleaford Castle at a recent training event.

To say that the project has now been running for two years we are still seeing an enormous amount of interest from new volunteers wishing to get involved. Following the recent training day the total number of registered Heritage Stewards has now risen to over 300, with many more wishing to attend future training.

Having completed the course our new recruits are now eager to get started on surveys in their local area, and there is still plenty for them to do…over the next year we have just under 4,000 heritage asset surveys to complete!
