THE Folly in Settle has received a grant of £80,000 to help it recover and re-open following the coronavirus pandemic.
The home of the Museum of North Craven Life is the latest Craven organisation to receive a grant in the recent round of the Government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund.
It joins the Embsay and Bolton Abbey steam railway which has received £169,400, also to help towards its recovery.
Managers of The Folly, which recently unveiled its newly restored facade following months of restoration work, say the £80,000 will cover overheads and allow for more essential maintenance work on the Grade I listed former town house.
