Surrey Hills AONB is discussing with interested parties, including Chilworth2gether; Shalford, Peasmarsh and Chilworth Parish Council; St Martha Parish Council; Chilworth Gunpowder Mills Group; the possibility of formulating a new bid for Lottery Funding that would benefit the villages in the Tillingbourne Valley.

A former, very ambitious bid to the nationally judged Lottery Fund, that Chilworth had contributed to last year, had been unsuccessful. However, subsequent Surrey AONB’s research has suggested that more modest heritage proposals, generated by the Communities in the Valley are likely to be more successful.

Updates will be posted here, under Latest Developments.
