Report on first 6 months of the Project

Knucklas Castle Community Land Project Posted on 29 October 2009 by Publicity & promotions5 February 2015

fundraisinga

The first 6 months fundraising activities concentrated on identifying the best types of grant schemes for the project.  We made contacts with some scheme officers and  received  an enthusiastic visit from a representative of Environment Wales.  Although their funding had already been used-up, we have time to develop an application for the next financial year beginning in April 2010.

Amongst our successes were an application to the Heyope Recreation Ground Charity for the production of an electronic distance measurement plan of St. David’s Churchyard; and in July we applied to Powys Environmental Partnership (supported by the Welsh Assembly and CCW) under their “Access to Bio-Diverse Habitats” theme and were awarded just under £750 for the planting of a Community Orchard.

Many grant schemes require us to match their funds or provide a proportion of the funding, as volunteer time, cash or permitted contributions from other grants.  Schemes offering 100% funding are relatively rare but the Lottery Small Grant “Awards for All” programme is one example and we will be making an application soon.  All these applications will help us in the development of our funding track record for future larger-scale programmes.

Castle hill

A new view of the castle using LiDR technology has become available, look here: LiDR survey
Many thanks to Mark Walters for this new view.

It raises some interesting questions about the way the castle has been used over the many years of its existence.

We are also on the Welsh governments catalogue of heritage buildings here Coflein

Site & location

The 21 acre site, including a Cadw scheduled monument, has been bought by some philanthropic locals who are leasing it to KCCLP whilst the money is raised to purchase the site for the whole community.

Surrounding Area

Sited at the confluence of the Teme and Heyope valleys in Radnorshire, Knucklas Castle overlooks Shropshire's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Offa's Dyke and the River Teme, the border between Wales and England. This part of Wales has many delights to discover.
