Historic England awards Delaval Parish £316,000
-
Description
2nd March 2021 Historic England has awarded a grant of £316,000 towards the restoration of Seaton Delaval Park and Garden. The grant will fund the repair of one of four corner bastions and the ha ha wall (a sunken wall in a ditch) around the churchyard of the Church of Our Lady. These structures form part of the early 18th-century boundary enclosing the pleasure grounds of Seaton Delaval Hall......While most of the boundary wall, the three other bastions and surrounding parkland are owned by the National Trust, the bastion and ha ha next to the churchyard are owned by Delaval Parochial Church Council. By rescuing the bastion from the risk of imminent collapse, the repair project work will open up the historic churchyard as a green space for public enjoyment. In addition, it will allow the grounds of the Church of Our Lady and the rest of the Seaton Delaval landscape to be enjoyed together.... -
