We distribute public money from Government and the National Lottery to artists and arts organisations, both directly and through the 10 English regional arts boards. As an independent, non-political body,working at arm’s length from Government, we champion the arts — promoting the importance of artistic endeavour to the economic, physical, social and, not least, spiritual well-being of the country.We commission research, promote innovation in the arts, and provide advice and information. Our strategic priorities are to bring the arts to a wider audience, support the individual artist, nurture creativity across the generations, embrace the diversity of our culture and explore new forms of expression. In 2000 we successfully made the case to Government for a substantial increase in public funding for the arts.This review sets out how we are using this money and our plans for ensuring that England’s artists and arts communities remain among the most dynamic, vibrant and resourceful in the world.

These accounts were written by the ministers of the time and, together with snippets from other books such as Alex Warden’s “Angus or Forfarshire – The Land and People”, form the core of our knowledge of the Parish’s past. In the last 50 years the Parish and its people have undergone many rapid and significant changes. These have come about through local government reorganisations, easier forms of personal transport and the advent of electricity, but above all, by the massive changes in farming. Dwellings, which were once farmhouses or cottages for farm-workers, have been sold and extensively altered. New houses have been built and manses, and even mansion houses, have been converted to new uses. What used to be a predominantly agricultural community has now changed forever. The last full Statistical Account was published in 1951, with revisions in 1967.
