It is hoped the castle will be fully restored next year
|
Almost �1m has been awarded to restore a 13th Century Shropshire castle to its former glory.
The Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded the Whittington Castle Preservation Trust �950,000 - but �170,000 still needs to be found for the restoration.
The trust, which was set up in 1998 to try to halt the decline of the castle near Oswestry, gained a 99-year lease in 2002.
It is hoped work on the Grade I listed structure will start in the autumn.
The project is due to be completed next year.
