Grantham has a heritage to be proud of, and a history which has left a mark.

Spectacular buildings such as St Wulfram's Church hint at the wealth that Grantham gained from the medieval wool trade.

Fine inns, like the Angel and Royal and the George Inn are evidence of the hundreds of years that Grantham thrived as a town on the Great North Road, where weary travellers on the route from London to Edinburgh would rest for a night or two.

Industry has always been important too, with watermills, breweries, factories, and engineering works driving the economy, and bringing new innovations to the world, such as the first diesel engine, built by Hornsby & Sons in Grantham.

As part of the Grantham High Street Heritage Action Zone Project, InvestSK has partnered with Heritage Lincolnshire and Grantham Civic Society to highlight 62 historic buildings and sites within the town through a fun card game based on the childhood favourite 'Top Trumps'

The Grantham High Street Heritage Action Zone (HS-HAZ) Project is a £1.25Million programme funded by Historic England and South Kesteven District Council, which is being delivered by InvestSK.

The project will highlight, celebrate, and regenerate Grantham's historic town centre. The four-year project aims to engage local people with the history that is all around them, creating opportunities to explore what makes Grantham unique.

The 'Grantham Trump Cards' are a fun way to learn about some of the town's most historic buildings through a simple and entertaining card game which doubles up as guide to discover and engage with the historic town. It also aims to be a sustainable and quality learning resource that local schools and community groups can use for educational purposes.

The cards, which showcase 62 of Grantham's historic buildings and landmarks will be available to purchase for £4.99 from a variety of outlets throughout the town including Grantham Museum, St Wulfram's Church and St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice.

Wherever you chose to purchase your set of cards from, that business will be able to profit from you supporting the project, raising funds for local charities and heritage organisations. A full list of suppliers will be available on the Grantham Civic Society website.

A small launch event will take place on 27th April at Grantham House and people can come along between 5-6pm to collect packs of cards pre ordered through the Grantham Civic Society website.

Alternatively, cards can be purchased online from the Grantham Civic Society website and Heritage Lincolnshire's with an additional P&P cost.

If you are a local school or community group and would like some free packs for educational purposes, please contact Claire Saunders at InvestSK on [email protected] to get yours sent to you.

Heritage Lincolnshire's Business Manager Hannah Thompson said: "We are so proud to be a part of this project. The cards are a great way to showcase what amazing heritage we hold within the town; for local people as well as visitors. The best bit is that we can support some extremely valuable organisations by allowing them to sell the cards especially after the challenges of the past year.''

Grantham Civic Society said: "'Grantham Civic Society is pleased to be part of the Grantham Trump cards project. We are delighted to promote the historic buildings of our town and the cards are a fun way to learn about them.''

You can pre-order your own pack of cards online from the Grantham Civic Society website or Heritage Lincolnshire's.
