Reconstructing Gillfield Wood's Historical Setting - Water, Woods & Wildlife This project, organised by SYBRG with the Friends of Gillfield Wood, is funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. It will place Gillfield Wood (an ancient woodland) the stream that flows through it and its setting into a wider historical landscape context to include field boundaries, ancient hedgerows and more. The project will look at how the woodland and its setting have changed over hundreds of years and what evidence there is today. However the community activities will also delve inside the wood to investigate the unique and remarkable dressed upright stones/ stoneposts which have been placed in the stream, we believe at some point in the last few hundred years, and to place this historic site into a wider context of water, geology and land-use. The field survey findings will be supported by archival research, and a legacy of the project will be enhanced skills and knowledge in the local community plus an on-line heritage resource.
