The Wanstead Grotto, one of the last surviving remnants of the 18th century Wanstead House, has been saved thanks to a £10,000 grant from a conservation charity.
The Grade-II listed grotto in Wanstead Park was damaged by fire in 1884 and while it has had patchy repairs since then it has been badly declining and was placed on the Heritage at Risk register.
