| Further Information | |||
| AHF Comment | Although the Settlement is active, it keeps a relatively low profile. In view of its broad range of charitable interests, and in the absence of detailed information from the Settlement itself regarding the profile of its charitable giving (other than stating that its principal historic building focus is on churches) this funding source should be viewed as something of a "long shot" - but none-the-less worth pursuing for projects based in Northamptonshire. |
