WINCHESTER Heritage Open Days will now be the responsibility of a new charitable incorporated organisation. Hampshire History Trust is set to take the reins, starting this year, as well as create a new festival based in the city. This new CIO will also run other community projects such as a Blue Plaque Scheme and Hampshire HistBites, the county’s history podcast channel. Nicky Gottlieb and Becky Brown, two of the three founding trustees, said they were delighted that the new charity had been approved by the Charity Commission. “This is the start of an exciting journey for us,” said Nicky.
