Simon Thurley, Chief Executive of English Heritage, and Maddy Jago, English Heritage Director of Planning and Development, showed the Minister some of Sheffield's most successful heritage developments and revealed how listed buildings such as the landmark Park Hill Estate and Highfield Trinity Church on London Road are restoring community pride and being used as a catalyst for the city's regeneration.
Highfield Trinity Methodist Church, a Grade II listed Victorian building in a deprived part of inner-city Sheffield is being repaired and upgraded following grants of £280,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), through the Repair Grants for Places of Worship Scheme run by English Heritage and HLF.
