Parishscapes will help local communities to come together to explore their parish landscape and discover the heritage within it. Moor than meets the eye will help communities by providing a toolkit of resources and a grant scheme. This will enable local communities to make decisions about their heritage and develop projects that celebrate, care for and increase understanding of and improve the heritage of the parish-landscape.
Over 150 people joined us to celebrate the successes of the MTMTE scheme over the last 5 years at a special event which took place in Manaton on Friday 5th July. There were presentations from a range of people who have been involved in the scheme from partner organisations to project leaders. One of the common threads that came out of the afternoon was the huge impact we have made on caring for our wild and built and cultural heritage and the impact that it has on all of us who have worked together. Speakers paid tribute to the dedication, patience, enthusiasm and expertise that people had contributed to the projects. To complete the celebration the afternoon ended with a hogroast and a chance to chat to each other. The big question now is what happens next?
Bovey Tracey launched its Granite Elements Parishscape project on Tuesday 1st March at the splendid Colehayes Field Studies Centre. The project aims to bring together artists, historians and the local community to celebrate Dartmoor’s granite heritage by shining a light on the old granite tramway which ran from Haytor Quarry all the way down to Stover Canal. Despite being built in 1820 it is still visible in many places and the project will get people walking along parts of it, there will be clean up tasks and there will be an exhibition of artists' work to be held at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
