JHA appointed by Leicester Cathedral

JHA have been appointed to support Leicester Cathedral’s Round 1 NLHF bid for its Common Ground project, to make the Cathedral available to all.

The project will conserve the vulnerable historic fabric of the Cathedral and make it more accessible. This is particularly important in the wake of the reinterment of Richard III, which has prompted an upsurge in visitor numbers. A wider range of visitors will be able to learn about the fascinating heritage of the Cathedral and its inhabitants and opportunities for learning, volunteering, apprenticeships and training will be developed.
