Conservation Project for a Deserted Medieval Settlement Receives Funds

Several structures (the chapel of Saint Lawrence, a dovecote, and a bridge) outside of Barforth (near Darlington, Co Durham), part of an abandoned medieval village, are slated for conservation work in the upcoming months. The three structures are currently on the "Heritage at Risk" register maintained by English Heritage.
