MDA has been appointed as Advisor and Lead Monitor to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) on two major grant projects awarded their first round pass at Canterbury Cathedral (£19.4m) and Plymouth History Centre (£16.3m).

The “Canterbury Journey” project will radically transform the accessibility of Canterbury Cathedral and provide a new Welcome Centre together with the repair and restoration of the Christ Church Gate, West Towers and Nave and enhancements to the South West Precinct, Signage and Interpretation.

Plymouth History Centre will bring together Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery, the Plymouth and West Devon Record Office, the Central Library History Collection, the South West Film and Television Archive and the South West Image Bank into a single, integrated facility through the refurbishment and redevelopment of the existing Grade 2 listed Museum and Library and adjacent St Lukes Church including a new build extension creating a new main entrance allowing full disabled access throughout.
