Darnley Mausoleum in Kent and Greyfriars Tower in Norfolk, two of the stone buildings featured on the BBC\'s Restoration programme last year, have been given Heritage Lottery Grants totalling nearly £6million.

As was reported in this magazine in January, although only one building picked up £3.5million on offer as the \'winner\' of the programme following a vote by viewers, many of the other buildings featured - and all were listed Grade I or Grade II* and on the \'at risk\' register - have subsequently also received backing. The mausoleum in Kent and Greyfriars Tower in Norfolk are just the latest two.

The mausoleum in Kent will be repaired as part of a £4.98million grant to Cobham Park, near Gravesend, to restore the landscape and buildings.

More than £1.5million is going to projects in King\'s Lynn in Norfolk, which includes the refurbishment of the 13th century landmark of Greyfriars Tower.

The money will also be used to give the Bronze Age timber circle known as Seahenge a permanent home in the King\'s Lynn Museum, which will close in September for refurbishment to re-open in the autumn of 2005.
