Heritage Lincolnshire
The Heritage Trust of Lincolnshire or Heritage Lincolnshire in the shortened form of its name, is an independent charitable trust working to preserve, protect, promote and present Lincolnshire's heritage for the benefit of local people and visitors. It is based in Heckington near Sleaford. It was established in the late 1980s, when the Lincolnshire County Council removed funding from the Trust for Lincolnshire Archaeology and instead established a new organisation.[1]
