By Further cash boost for Grimsby Minster improvements
GRIMSBY Minster has received a further £81,860 boost from the Government.
This follows a successful application for £182,900 from one arm of the Culture Recovery Fund last month.
The Grade I listed building is one of 450 heritage organisations that has now received monies from the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage and the Heritage Stimulus Fund.
The cash will be used for essential building improvements including high-level masonry, parapet gutters and internal plaster work repairs. The defunct boiler will also be replaced.
The Venerable Mark Steadman, Archdeacon of Stow and Lindsey, said: “Grimsby Minster is a vitally important building, sitting as it does in the centre of a town that is currently undergoing positive change.
“Rewarded with Minster status in 2010 in recognition of its commitment to the community, everyone involved in this wonderful building takes huge pride in its close links with the people of the town.
“Monies such as those received in the last two months will help in the work to further those links, whilst maintaining the fabric of the building,” he added.
Meanwhile the Minster team continues to be consulted on the on-going work to transform St James’ Square.
With work progressing well the square is due to be completed on schedule early in the new year. Contractors are currently focused upon the installation of new lighting columns.
The ‘centrepiece’ Scoutmoor Yorkstone labyrinth is now complete with paving work, in the same material, taking place.
