Harriett saved for the nation

From Friends of Purton 17/3/2010

Dear SWMHS
Having recently returned from a meeting with Lady Margaret Hodge and English Heritage I am immensely pleased to advise the Society that the Friends of Purton have successfully secured a ministerial pledge to protect the timbers of the last remaining Kennet barge - Harriett, which currently lies within the 81 vessels of the Purton Hulks.

Although a major breakthrough the Friends would like to state that it considers the move to be a small yet significant step forward in protection of this vitally important collection for the nation.
