The start-up grant will allow the group to investigate where significant repairs are needed, and will also allow them to reinstate the historic features which have been lost over the 20th century.

Victoria said: “I am pleased that Alford Corn Exchange has been successful in winning this £9,900 grant.

“It is important that historic buildings like the Alford Corn Exchange are preserved for us to enjoy.”
