The Castle Studies Trust would like to announce
that it is open to receive applications for grants to fund research into
castles in September 2013. Could you please disseminate this information to
your society’s members?
The Trust will be awarding grants of up to
£5,000 to fund or co-fund new discrete pieces of research on castles and is
open to both individuals and groups/societies.
Key types of work the Castle Studies Trust would
fund:
· Site-based survey work (eg geophysical,
architectural, topographical, -LiDAR)
· Scientific tests on objects/materials from a
castle site (eg radiocarbon dating)
· Review of historical sources (as part of a
project)
· Pieces of work, such as reconstruction drawings, which would help the public understanding of a
castle site
Focus will be on sites not managed by statutory
bodies. Exceptions can be made for exceptionally interesting projects on
statutory protected sites.
The Castle Studies Trust, is a charity (Charity
Number: 1148165) set up last year to fund research work to advance the
understanding of castles. The trust’s patrons are Edward Impey and John Goodall
and has grant assessors including Jeremy Ashbee, Richard Oram, Tom McNeil and
Stuart Prior.
For further details about the grants can be
found on the criteria form (below), you can also visit the Castle Studies
Trust (www.castlestudiestrust.org).
Kind Regards
Jeremy Cunnington
Chair of Trustees
