FIRST ROUND SUCCESS!
  
The Friends of Heckington Windmill have been successful in their First Round bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund to buy & restore the buildings associated with the mill and the mill yard. 

Funding from Heritage Lottery enables us to produce a full and detailed bid for August 2012. A final decision will be made by HLF in December 2012.



Plans include:

• Creating a new visitor centre in the granary
• Moving the shop into the granary 
• Reinstating mill stones onto the ground floor of the mill 
• Providing a full history of the heritage of the site via new interpretation & displays
• Restoring the historic buildings and the setting of the mill
• Providing disabled access to the mill
• Reinstating the old bakehouse
• Providing better car parking & toilet facilities
• To buy the field at the rear of the mill to grow our own wheat

The plan to buy the whole site and redevelop it is not a new one. 
The first draft scheme was proposed about 15 years ago.

These original ideas have been developed and extended and brought together in the current Heckington Windmill Regeneration Project.
