Cornwall Heritage Trust has received a huge boost to the accessibility and interpretation of the historic sites it protects, having been awarded £10k from the Tanner Phoenix Fund.
The funding is being administered by Cornwall Community Foundation on behalf of the Tanner Phoenix Fund.
The funds will go towards creating way markers, signage and interpretation for two of the 13 historic Cornish places in the care of the independent charity – Sancreed Beacon, near Penzance, (pictured below) and Trevanion Culverhouse, near Wadebridge (pictured above). The project aims to make these sites more accessible to visitors so they can explore them fully and even follow paths through different layers of history.
Cathy Woolcock, CEO of Cornwall Heritage Trust said: “This award is absolutely fantastic news! We’re incredibly proud to help so many Cornish people connect with their roots, and this grant is going to help make Cornwall’s most special historic places even more accessible for them. For a small charity like us, the importance of a grant like this is huge, and we are extremely grateful to the Tanner Phoenix Fund for its support.”
