Mellor Heritage Project

A Community Project exploring the History and Archaeology of the Mellor Area

Meet the Team


Image of Ann and John Some of the many and various people who involved with the project, more will be added as we go along:

Ann and John are of course the key members and without them none of this would have happened. If it had not been for their keen interest in history, skill and experience in recognising the significance of the cropmarks and of course their more than generous goodwill in setting up the Trust and opening their garden, none of this would have happened!

 

Thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund, from 2007 through to the end of 2009 we will have two full time paid officers to lead and co-ordinate the project
