Heritage is not just about stately homes says retiring head of Lottery Fund

“… Dame Jenny has a very clear idea of what heritage means.

“My definition is really anything that people value and that they want to hand on to the future. That can be a memory, a culture, a butterfly in Yorkshire or a fantastic landscape in Scotland, as well as a building that has been derelict in the centre of a small community and which, if they could just turn it into something, would transform that community.”
