02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Ayton Heritage is set up to preserve the heritage of Ayton & District. The Trust has concentrated on the preservation of the ruins of the disused St. Dionysius Church located in the burial grounds at Ayton. The Trust was to seek grants to undertake work to the ruins to make them safe and accessable to interested parties.. However the work has been disrupted by the inability to identify an owner of the ruins and consequently difficulty in pursuing grants to progress the work. Further the site is now inaccessable for safety reasons.
