Unlocking Warwick

Second Round Success!

Warwick Town Council is delighted to report that the second round application to the Heritage Lottery Fund has been successful.

The grant of over £367,000 will allow extensive restoration and conservation work to be carried out on the Court House to make it more accessible to the residents of Warwick. The Yeomanry Museum, housed in the basement of the building will benefit from great improvements to ventilation and the environment. In addition the project will include an Interpretation Centre to tell the story of the building and to provide residents and visitors with an insight into the rich heritage of Warwick.

The Town Council will also be carrying out additional works to improve the access to the building and within it to ensure that it is available for use by the local community and businesses.

The bid has been successful, now the hard works starts. Are you able to support the project in any way? The project relies on the involvement of the community, whether volunteering, writing learning materials, leading guided tours and many other activities. If you can help in any way, please adding your name to our list of supporters or contact the Town Clerk.

The project has a clear vision - to bring a dignified and iconic town building back, where it belongs, into real public service. The Court House will become once again a focal point of pride that will be enjoyed by current and future generations of town residents and visitors.

Message from the Mayor of Warwick - Councillor Trudy Offer: "We are delighted and express our thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund that our bid has been successful. The bid unlocks the future of the building, for Warwick's local community and visitors to the Town."
