	116 High Street, Boston : Options appraisal
	This is a Grade II* listed townhouse built in the early 18th century. It is a very fine building constructed in red brick with limestone dressings and with many original internal features surviving. William Garfit II (1700-1781) founded Lincolnshire's first private bank in this building in 1754 and it remained in use until 1891 when the bank was moved into the market place.
	Helpringham Manor Farmhouse, Cottage and Farm Buildings
	This late 17th century manor farmhouse is a Grade II* listed building and is located on the village green in the centre of Helpringham's Conservation Area. The rear wing of the building is the earliest part of the building and the stone built farmhouse was constructed in the early 18th century. The small cottage was added to the left gable of the farmhouse in the early 19th century.
	Hussey Tower : A future for this historic building
	Heritage Lincolnshire has managed this historic monument since 1996 and in partnership with the owners, Boston Borough Council, has improved the condition of the building and the landscaping around the tower. Hussey Tower was built as part of a large manor house in the mid 15th century, and is one of the earliest brick buildings in the county - influenced by both Tattershall Castle and Rochford Tower in Fishtoft.
	Lincolnshire Heritage at Risk Project
	Heritage Lincolnshire has launched an innovative project to involve local communities in safeguarding out heritage. To do this, we need to assess the condition of our heritage assets, and this huge task would not be possible without a network of volunteers. The project has received funding and support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritage, Lincolnshire County Council, all local authorities within the county, Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service and the Diocese of Lincoln.
