New funding to
celebrate rural & coastal
working-class heritage
New funding for Historic England's Everyday Heritage grants programme has been announced,
celebrating working-class histories - this time, focusing on buildings or places in rural and coastal
locations.
Historic England is funding new projects to explore untold
stories and celebrate the people and places at the heart
of our history.
Now Historic England is inviting groups to explore some
of the hidden histories of rural locations such as villages,
hamlets, farmland, and moors, alongside coastal locations
including the seaside, docks, piers and cliffs.
From the Essex seaside to the West Pennine moors, grants
will be available to fund community-led and people-focused projects that aim to further the nation’s collective
understanding of the past. They will need to focus on heritage that links people to overlooked historic places, with
a particular interest in recognising and celebrating working-class histories.
Launched in 2022, the programme has already funded
over 100 projects to a total of £1.8 million, celebrating
fascinating untold stories from across England. Each grant
awarded so far has left lasting legacies for the communities
involved.
So far, the Everyday Heritage grant programme has
funded extraordinary projects, from the history of rollerskating in Birmingham to rhubarb farming in Leeds.
