Making it all possible

Meet the funders.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all our funding partners that have enabled us to bring this historic building back to life and transforming it into a luxury B&B, café and community space for the enjoyment of the public. 

Without the vital funding that we receive, Heritage Lincolnshire would not be able to complete the valuable work that we carry out throughout the county which helps us to conserve and enhance the rich heritage of Lincolnshire for the benefit of our community.
