This is to update you with the latest on RHT activities during the Coronavirus outbreak.
Rowhedge Pump House
Before the virus struck, the RHT was working towards reaching agreement on a legal option to purchase the Pump House from Hills. This would have meant securing a period of about 18 months to raise the money to buy the site and buildings. We would only go further if we are successful in gathering sufficient funds. In the meantime Hills have taken on and made improvements to the building for their use as as a site office.
The RHT has looked into applying for grants, however in the current situation most funders are closed to new applications for the time being. RHT has communicated to Hills its continuing interest in the property, however it is not in a position to make any commitment without access to additional funding.
Your Coronavirus recollections
We are living through an unprecedented time in Rowhedge's history, one that will probably be unique for all of us. The RHT is keen to capture as much as possible of what it has been like to live through this period, through the recollections, observations, images, art, poetry or prose of its residents. If you have something that you think could become part of our living archive, please let us know. It could be something that you or your children have created, something you have seen, or kept, that will forever be a symbol of the times we have all been experiencing. We would be interested in whatever you have to offer, to ensure this moment in the life of the village is not lost forever.
Just fill out the form on the RHT website and we'll get back to you with how you can make a lasting contribution.
