Tales from the Crypt – Workshop 2: Art and Heritage
Channel: Cloudesley Centre
Date: 2021-02-26

One of three workshops on how to develop worthwhile community engagement activities as part of a National Lottery Heritage Fund application.

The London Diocesan Fund, in partnership with Islington Museum, undertook a dynamic volunteer-led research project based around the building of Holy Trinity Church (renamed the Cloudesley Centre), Cloudesley Square, Islington and the stories of the people who now lie buried in the Crypt.

To share learning from the project and support churches who are thinking of applying to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the London Diocesan Fund hosted three free legacy workshops on three different themes: researching records and heritage significance; developing artist and creative projects; and interpreting heritage. All workshops also covered community engagement, project visioning, and funding opportunities.

These online workshops will be of interest to congregations who are thinking of applying to the National Lottery Heritage Fund and want to know more about how to develop exciting and worthwhile community engagement activities. 

This second workshop focused on incorporating creativity and the arts in your heritage project.
