The Heritage Lottery Fund has confirmed an award of £595,000 towards the restoration of Severndroog Castle.
"The Trust wishes to restore Severndroog and reopen it to the public to help revive the spirit of those people who, nearly a century ago, put their effort and passion into making the castle a loved and cared-for building."
Steve Daly - Board member
Picture a dramatic eighteenth-century gothic tower built by a heartbroken widow in a clearing, high on a hill, in an ancient bluebell wood within seven miles of Charing Cross, London. This is Severndroog Castle on Shooters Hill, a 60-foot high triangular, brick-built tower designed in the gothic style by architect Richard Jupp. Severndroog is a nationally-listed Grade II* building presently on English Heritage's Buildings at Risk register.
