Medieval History
Community groups across south Norfolk are celebrating after almost £115,000 was dished out for renovation projects.
Two churches received funding with £14,070 going to the historic church at Flordon for a project to preserve it?s 13th century timber roof to turn it into a community centre. The money will pay for work to remove pews and install a level timber floor, to improve heating and lighting, restore the Victorian vestry, and install a kitchen.
Wymondham Abbey was awarded £10,000 towards the Abbey Experience Project and in particular to enhancements to the church yard. This includes funding for a medieval herb garden with seating, picnic benches, hard standing and display panels explaining the history of the Abbey.
