Medieval moat wins facelift cash

One of north Worcestershire's most important ecological and archaeological sites is to be restored thanks to the hard work of residents.

Moons Moat in Redditch was neglected and overgrown until a group of people started to clean it up.

A conservation group was formed and now the 14th Century landmark is to be spruced up and enjoyed once more.

The group has won its bid for £24,000 from a local heritage scheme to excavate it and restore it to glory.
