Lovely morning in Poole meeting ⁦@VikkiSlade72⁩ to see the ⁦@HistoricEngland⁩ and ⁦@BCPCouncil⁩ funded works on the high street… and the sun was shining! ☀️

[Rebecca Barrett @beckyjbarrett]

The sun was shining for the launch of the ⁦⁦@nationaltrust⁩ blossom circle at Swindon’s GWR Park today… part of the wider ⁦@HistoricEngland⁩ and ⁦@SwindonCouncil⁩ Heritage Action Zone. Pleased to have played our part in revitalising this green oasis 🌳☀️🌳

[Rebecca Barrett @beckyjbarrett]

Really pleased @HistoricEngland was able to play a part in this project. One of five sites in Bristol saved from the #HeritageAtRisk Register for everyone to enjoy!

⛪ St Peter’s Church will reopen to visitors in not too long, thanks to @HistoricEngland @WessexArch and Friends of Castle Park

👷 #Bristol’s first church dates from 1106, stands as a memorial to 1,300 Bristolians killed by the Blitz, and is no longer on the #HeritageAtRisk list

A lifelike bust of the actor, poet and playwright Alfred Fagon by Zimbabwean artist David Matusa, and a rare gravestone marking the life of Joseph Freeman, who liberated himself from enslavement, have been listed 👏
