Cash boost for 'Da Vinci' chapel

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2007 / March 22

The medieval chapel which had a starring role in the Da Vinci Code blockbuster film has been awarded a multi-million pound restoration grant. The 15th Century Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian has been given £4.5m from the Heritage Lottery Fund and £2.68m from Historic Scotland. Since featuring in Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code, Rosslyn Chapel has seen its visitor numbers quadruple. The money will help with a new reception, exhibition space and cafe.
