The restoration of the Birmingham family home of Joseph Chamberlain has been given a financial boost thanks to a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The Chamberlain Highbury Trust said the mansion and gardens needed "a lot" of refurbishment.

Chamberlain, who was born in 1836, was a Birmingham mayor and MP.

The trust said the latest grant meant it could start planning for a programme of major improvements over the next four years.

The funding, it added, was a two-stage process, with £368,000 coming from the development grant, which is 59% of the £619,000 needed for the development phase. The trust is set to provide the remaining 41%.

A second stage Lottery grant of a more substantial sum would cover the delivery phase.

Chair of the trustees, Les Sparks, said: “We have worked as a trust for six years to get to this very significant position.

"In that time we have demonstrated our ability to manage Highbury and deliver improvements on time and to budget.

"We are all thrilled that the National Lottery Heritage Fund has recognised this and entrusted us with a development grant.”

A Lottery Heritage Fund spokesperson said: “We are delighted to support this project that aims to restore Joseph Chamberlain’s family home of Highbury to its former glory, whilst also adapting it for 21st century use."
