First visit to Cusworth Hall, Doncaster yesterday. Beautiful house & gardens. Good to meet the team who shared ongoing impacts of #HeritageFund investments from 2006 onwards.

A sign that reads “we like to cusworth hall and park” it’s a black metal sign with a map in the centre and some information about the site

An image of a three story grand house with large ground floor windows. The house is made of Yellowstone and the sky is very grey

An image of a decorative garden layer out in squares with a stone path on every side. There is a wall to the rear and grass to the front of the image

A view through a nine paned window. The frame is white and the top three panes have a blind. Behind the window grassland and trees can be seen

I’ve had a lovely day, exploring churches across Durham with colleagues including @hjfeathers.bsky.social

What a treat.

A high vaulted ceilings church built with cream stone and a dark wood ceiling. There are pews running down either side with a central aisle. There is a cross hung above, made from metal in a modernist style

A cream built brick church interior. There is a large rose window and a miners banner underneath. Wooden pews can be seen. The ceilings are wooden.

The altar of a church with a green Xmas tree with red decorations placed in the middle. There is a high stained glass window and arches on either side.

It the National Lottery’s 30th birthday! Over the past 30 year’s @HeritageFundNOR has awarded £2 Billion to over 12,200 projects. I have taken a moment to reflect on the impact of this on people and communities in the @yorkshirepost

Heritage creates a sense of place, that’s why the National Lottery proudly supports projects - Helen Featherstone

Yorkshire has a rich and diverse heritage. From impressive natural landscapes, and stunning stately houses, to marvellous museums, and a host of community stories and traditions from across the world....
