£10,000 grant to create a community 'Heritage Tapestry'

Rochford Town Team has been awarded a £10,000 National Lottery Heritage Fund grant for an exciting community project, “Knitting Our Heritage Together”.

This will create a Heritage Tapestry to celebrate the last 1,000 years of history from across the 14 parishes of Rochford District.

The panels will be exhibited as part of Rochford District’s “Discover 2020 Festival” celebrations next year and afterwards will be available for groups in Rochford District to display.

Anyone interested in participating, whatever their ability, should email 2020tapestry@gmail.com or leave contact details at Rochford District Council (01702 318111).
