More than £450,000 has been awarded to Wollaton Hall for water damage repairs at the historic landmark. Nottingham will benefit from the government's Cultural Investment Fund to the tune of £594,347, with funding being allocated to Wollaton Hall and the city's library service.
A total of £469,992 will be used to carry out repairs to the roof, windows and timbers, guttering and drainage at Wollaton Hall. This will ensure it is weathertight before carrying out restoration following earlier water damage to the Tudor kitchen walls and a fresco in the south stairwell.
This work will start this spring and will be complete by 2026. Nottingham City Council’s Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Culture & Planning, Pavlos Kotsonis, said: “We are really pleased to have secured this funding from the Department for Culture, Media & Sport as part of a highly competitive bidding process, managed by Arts Council England (ACE) with support from Historic England.
