Welcome

We're proud to share this lasting legacy of the Rusland Horizons programme. Here, you'll find details of the 15 projects that ran between 2016 and 2019 under the initial Heritage Lottery-funded programme, plus a number of projects that formed part of the subsequent Rusland Horizons Trust initiative (2019-2024). During that time, valuable information about our cultural heritage was gathered under the "Peeling the Onion" project, which also remains part of this website. Enjoy our archive of local stories and interviews under Oral Histories, and explore our ever-changing landscape through Mapped Histories.
