Norfolk church projects receive part of £5m funds Two Norfolk churches and a Christian conference centre have received part of almost £5m worth of government grants to be given out to arts and heritage groups across Norfolk. Amongst those to benefit in Norfolk from the Culture Recovery Fund are Letton Hall Trust (£44,100), The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Great Yarmouth (£47,100) and The Cathedral of St John the Baptist Trust (£95,700) Letton Hall, a Christian conference centre in Breckland that usually welcomes hundreds of people from churches and youth groups every year, was forced to close for 15 months during the pandemic and, at times, the future of the centre looked uncertain.
