Letton God's Acre Group News
Location: Herefordshire
The God's Acre project is now successfully completed. The final paper work has been sent off, but work will continue to follow the management plan with the occasional meeting to update if necessary. The project has been a very successful scheme that has encouraged extensive community involvement in the preservation and long-term care of the churchyard. The participation activities including workshops, surveys, events, exhibitions, together with the booklets and website, have forged a deepening interest in the heritage of the churchyard and its features - an interest which extends far and wide and is a fitting tribute to the organisers of the project, the volunteers and the support of the LHI who have made the project possible.

Surveys and Workshops
Surveys on archaeology, birds, fungi, lichen, small mammals and trees have been completed and four workshops in total have been held in the church during the summer of 2004: one on botony, one on mammals and two on art in the churchyard. Workshops on the lichen and fungi surveys are in the planning stage. The archaeology report was delivered in the church in September 2004.
