The grant programme is part of the Government's Heritage Stimulus Fund, administered by Historic England and is aimed at supporting major repair projects which either stalled earlier this year because of Covid-19, or where loss of income due to many months of closure put urgently needed projects on hold."

"In 2017 the convent was the site of a reality TV show where five young women stayed with the nuns for a month. After one hundred years – and one hit television series – an order of nuns will be leaving their convent in Swaffham, Norwich. The Daughters of Divine Charity convent, the setting of the 2017 Channel 5 series Bad Habits, Holy Orders, has been put up for sale, and the resident sisters moving to one of their order’s sister houses in the UK.  The decision was made after the closure of the Sacred Heart independent school in 2019 – after which the nuns felt they would be more useful elsewhere."

"HAMPTON, a town to the south of Peterborough, in Cambridgeshire, is on the up. Thirty years ago it was nothing but abandoned brick pits; since then thousands of homes have sprung up. Three primary and two secondary schools have followed, along with a shopping centre, restaurants, lakes and open spaces.

"But all is not well within this Eden of purpose-built convenience. Since it was announced in 2019 that a fourth primary could be Catholic, fierce opposition has been unleashed that has left many local Catholics feeling intimidated and bruised.

"The 630-pupil St John Henry Catholic Primary School (SJHN) and 26-place nursery, to be built in part of the development called Hampton Water, will be the first Catholic school in England to open in almost ten years. The Diocese of East Anglia established that there was a high level of need for a new Catholic primary school several years ago, says Helen Bates, the diocese’s deputy of education." Story continues.
