Greyfriars Townscape Heritage Initiative
The £1.6million Greyfriars Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI), funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Leicester City Council has successfully reached completion. This five-year project focused on buildings in the Greyfriars area and offered grants to property owners and businesses to help restore and regenerate the architectural heritage of Leicester’s Old Town.
The wider Greyfriars THI project also included a range of events, including talks and walking tours, that attracted over 3,000 people. Read the full press release here.
The area’s historical importance as Leicester’s legal quarter was a key element of the project and a range of new resources can be found on the legacy website.
Check out this video highlighting the successes of the Greyfriars Townscape Heritage Initiative.
