Bosworth wins lottery grant

24 January 2005

As widely reported in the national media, Leicestershire County Council's Bosworth Battlefield Centre has been awarded a Heritage Lottery Fund grant of nearly 1 million pounds. This will be used in part to investigate the location of the battlefield: work which was carried out as a feasibility study and report by Glenn Foard, on 'loan' from the Battlefields Trust in late 2003. Once the work is completed the Battlefield Visitor Centre's displays and interpretation will be modified to take into account any new findings. At this stage it appears that work on locating the battlefield will focus largely on the site favoured by Peter Foss's work.
