Finding Lost Norton Park: Digging Deeper for All Launch Event

Following the highly successful National Lottery Heritage Fund supported project “Finding Lost Norton Park” in 2019, the Friends of Graves Park are delighted to announce that we have succeeded in being awarded a £142,770 grant, from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, to run the sequel “Digging Deeper for All”. We are working with Professor Ian Rotherham and South Yorkshire Biodiversity Research Group (SYBRG), focusing on Norton Park (now named Graves Park). We will be digging deeper into the history, heritage, ecology, archaeology and local memories of this historic park.
Come to our ‘Meet the Project’ Day on Saturday 1st April, 10.30 – 15.00 at Mount View Methodist Church Hall, Derbyshire Lane, S8 8SG.
This is an open community event. Come along to meet the team, listen to introductory talks and look at display material.
