Where is Napper Cottage Guildford?
Cranleigh Heritage Trust was formed to save the 15th century cottage at Cranleigh Village Hospital, no longer used and falling into disrepair.
The team named it Napper Cottage to help chat about it and because the Reverend Sapte and Doctor Surgeon Mr Albert Napper adapted the cottage to be a hospital, in 1859.
When you look at the National Lottery Heritage Fund awards pages for September 2023 you will see amazing projects across the United Kingdom.
Click here for their report. They have used the term Napper Cottage Guildford in this report.
The team will try to get this corrected!
The Lottery system means that Cranleigh Heritage Trust team must work with them and hired professionals to bring the cottage to a state where repairing it will bring long term benefits to Cranleigh Village High Street and community. The team must prepare for the final Heritage Fund Grant application before any building work can begin. That panel will not know how much money they have or how many worthy causes have applied until the month they sit.
They need experts in several fields. Please click here to go to the new website for Cranleigh Heritage Trust.
