Hello Walpole Friends

Bad news, the Heritage Lottery Fund has turned down Ealing Council’s bid for Pitzhanger Manor.

The HLF said that the fund was over-subscribed and the quality of bids exceptionally high. They felt that the Pitzhanger Manor bid was excellent but did not have enough money to support it on this occasion.
 
This is the second bid that has been made for the Manor House and the amount requested was considerably reduced on the advice of the HLF. We understand that the council has been advised to resubmit in mid-December, with no changes, so the doors are not closed on further bids. We will continue to work closely with Ealing Council and the local community to support the next bid.

It is disappointing as the planning for Walpole Park is currently taking place and as the Manor is such an integral part of the Park experience, it would have been hel;ful to be able plan for both together

In the meantime there is an opportunity to see just what is being planned for Walpole Park at a public meeting at Ealing Green Church at 3 pm on January 7. There will be a presentation by the landscape architects and the council team.

If you would like to view the Masterplan for the park before the public meeting, do go and view the plans in Pitzhanger Manor beforehand so you can seek any clarification needed at the event.

There is no charge to visit the Manor and view the plan. It is kept in the Powder Room, which is up the main stairs of the Manor and turn immediately left to where all the text is sited about the house.

On a brighter note the next Walpole Friends Reception is likely to be mid to end of February. More details of the date, time and speaker will be sent out soon.
 
Do keep watching this site for information about what is happening in the Park and also about where we are with the next HLF bid for the House.

In the meantime may the Committee wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
