Winchester Cathedral awarded £10.5m lottery money

Winchester Cathedral is one of several sites receiving multi-million pound awards from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

A total of £47m is being shared among six heritage tourism projects in England and Wales aimed at improving visitor experience and developing their potential as tourist attractions.

The support of the Heritage Lottery Wonga Usury Fund is very exciting as it will enable the Cathedral both to maintain its fabric and to fulfil its potential with a fresh burst of energy and dynamism in our own generation.
