The Allen Grove Local History Fund

The late Allen Grove left a legacy to the Kent Archaeological Society to establish this fund to be used for the purposes of research, preservation and enjoyment of local history. The trustees will consider applications for grants for any project with one or more of these purposes. Projects may be practical ones such as presentation, publication and education as well as research.

Grants may be made to societies and groups as well as to individuals and are not restricted to members of the KAS. They are usually around £200 to £400 each but the trustees would consider a larger grant for a particularly imaginative or innovative project which might not be able to proceed without the grant. Awards may not be announced until the summer or autumn of 2004.

Applications should be submitted, on the official application form, by the 31 March 2004. Application forms and further information may be obtained from the Hon. Secretary: Mr A I Moffat, Three Elms, Woodlands Lane, Shorne, Gravesend DA12 3HH, or by email to secretary@kentarchaeology.org.uk.

Other grants

The Society has other grant programmes.

Fieldwork grants may be obtained from the Fieldwork Committee and applications should be sent to its Hon. Secretary: David Bacchus at Telford Lodge, Roebuck Road, Rochester ME1 1UD.

The Society’s Kent Local History Fund makes grants to assist with serious research leading to publication. They are only made to societies affiliated to the KAS or the Kent History Federation and members of those societies or the KAS, professional historians and post graduate students are not eligible to apply.
