LONG PRESTON HERITAGE PROJECT

As part of the bid to enable us to gain funding to repair and restore the bells of St Mary's Church in Long Preston a wider project is proposed. This will include workshops, talks and opportunities to get involved in historical research and recording in order to celebrate our village heritage.

A meeting was held to describe the planned activities on Monday 14th January in the Village Hall.

See the Long Preston Village website for more details.
