Dear Society members and general heritage/history enthusiasts,
There is currently a government led Local Heritage Listing initiative to record local sites, buildings, and monuments that are of community and heritage importance, but have either not met the strict statutory listing requirement, or have simply slipped through the net. Buckinghamshire Council has received funding for this project and we need to get people involved to nominate sites. We are also looking for volunteers to assist with the site surveys and data input.
Myself and the Bucks Local Heritage List Project team would really appreciate help and advice in all areas of this project and are looking for all levels of interest and expertise. I wondered if it might be something that you or your members would be interested in, either by nominating somewhere important to you, or by assisting with the process (training will be provided both with the data-inputting and onsite surveying.)
I have attached our flyer to explain more, and I would really appreciate it if you would forward it to your members and place on your social media pages. In addition, here is the website link with more information about the nomination process. Home – Buckinghamshire’s Local Heritage List (local-heritage-list.org.uk)
Many thanks in advance;
Warm regards
