There was good news for heritage in Woking when Woking Palace recently secured Heritage Lottery Funding The £306,000 achieved will allow for extra digs at the site in Old Woking, an exhbition at the Lightbox and educational work.
I have enjoyed taking part in two digs at the Palace which has connections to both Henry VII and VIII and Lady Margaret Beaufort (mother of Henry VII) On my day at last year's dig I was pleased to see some young people visiting and to hear that local schools had been invited to take part in the dig. Bringing history, especially local history to life in this way adds so much to classroom work.
