We wish to record our sincere gratitude to Cornwall Community Foundation and others who contributed to funding of our project to install secondary glazing to the cemetery chapel windows, work which is particularly important in these times of high energy costs. The CCF grant of £1,810 allowed archive volunteers to purchase materials and install secondary glazing to five windows of the cemetery chapel. This work followed on from installation on the first three windows which was made possible by a grant of £500 from Cornwall Council Community Fund and a contribution of £300 from the membership of Calstock Parish Local History Group. Volunteers and visitors to the archive are already feeling the benefit of warmer surroundings.

Moving the Archive to its new home in the Albaston Cemetery Chapel would not have been possible without LEADER funding underthe European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development which was awarded to Calstock Parish Council to provide the essential facilities.
