Devon Historic Buildings Trust awarded an Architectural Heritage Fund Grant in support of its Guildhall, Tavistock project

DHBT has been restoring historic buildings in Devon for 37 years during which time it has completed 41 projects. Examples are the major works performed to save the Haldon Belvedere from ruin and the restoration of the Cricklepit Mill that stands today as an important building in the Quay area in Exeter.
Now the Trust starts to restore the Guildhall in Tavistock. In some ways this is the most challenging and interesting work undertaken by DHBT because it involves a critical section of the historic range of buildings that lie in the very centre of Tavistock. Following a national competition for historic property restoration funds the award of this much sought-after grant comes from the AHF who announce that the maximum sum of £7500 is offered to DHBT in support of the Options Appraisal work now being conducted by architect Yunnie Gillespie.

DHBT hopes that its consultations with local interests will be completed by the time the Guildhall Appraisal report becomes available. Please contact the trust via email if you wish to be part of the process. Full contact details and regular details of progress will be published on the charity's website www.dhbt.org.uk
