Heritage Interpretation Framework published
As part of the Torbay Heritage Strategy, a new heritage interpretation framework has been published.
‘A Haven Through Time’ uses the eight themes of the heritage strategy as a framework for organisations and individuals to interpret and present the fascinating stories of the bay.
The framework is for anyone who works or volunteers in the heritage sector, and is designed to help heritage settings and organisations bring the history of Torbay and its people and places alive for audiences.
The eight themes that provide the structure of this framework are those which the public highlighted as their priorities through the extensive consultation during 2020.
Stuart McLeod, Director, England, London & South, for the National Lottery Heritage Fund, said -
‘I am very pleased to support this new framework for heritage interpretation in Torbay. It will help organisations, staff, and volunteers make the most of the fascinating stories that the English Riviera has to share. It is a positive example of how the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage has supported strategic development and recovery, in a very practical way.’
Prepared by Katherine Findlay of Heritage Arts and People, on behalf of Torbay Council and Torbay Culture, ‘A Haven Through Time’ will be a valuable tool. It is intended to encourage and inspire, not set down rigid guidelines.
