The Trust’s involvement in Thanet’s Heritage is about more than the archaeology beneath the ground. We are hosting a one day conference exploring the themes of the Landscape, Townscape and People-scape of the Isle of Thanet to consider the heritage all around us. Talks by a wide range of speakers will explore the remains of lost industries, unusual artefacts and hidden places, with the aim of raising interest in the promotion, preservation and future funding of Thanet’s Heritage
Update:

The last session of the day will highlight some successful applications for Heritage Lottery funding for community projects by the speaker David Crawford-White, Outreach and Learning Officer for Oxford Archaeology East. This will include advice on applications and handouts with examples of successful applications. This should be useful guidance for any groups or individuals thinking of making an application for Heritage Lottery funding from a very successful practitioner.
