“We’re delighted to share that Pewsey Parish Council has secured funding to begin the survey and restoration of the Pewsey White Horse. This much-loved local landmark is an important part of our heritage, and the grant will allow us to take the first steps towards ensuring it can be preserved for future generations.”
