The beautiful Grade II* Listed Delapré Abbey, just one mile from Northampton town centre, is entering an exciting new phase in its history.
Following the success of a Heritage Lottery Fund application in 2013, a £6.3 million project will see this "Building At Risk" undergo substantial repair and restoration works over the next 18 months.
The Delapré Abbey Preservation Trust will be working with Northampton Borough Council and the Friends of Delapré Abbey to involve the community and volunteers in the restoration project with a number of open days and education projects planned to take place.
The Abbey will be opening its doors to the public for the first time in its 900 year history in 2017, with The Trust managing the building as a fantastic historic venue for local, national and even international visitors.
