A LOTTERY windfall of £2.8 million will be spent on improving Cannon Hall's parks and gardens.
The money will be spent restoring and repairing important features of the Georgian park and gardens including key features such as the ice-house, deer shelter and gardeners' cottage, which will be turned into a volunteers' hub.
Work will also be undertaken to dredge and restore the lakes in the park, which have been the subject of a long running local campaign.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
