Dame Jenny Abramsky, Chair of HLF, said: “This latest portfolio of projects is probably one of the most wide-reaching we have ever seen.
“It covers so much that is important to the UK’s heritage – from cathedrals to national parks and industrial buildings to great museums.
She added: “It recognises the role the UK has played in the development of modern architecture and in doing so will help ensure some of our most-loved places are saved for future generations.”
Since 1994, the organisation has allocated £4.97 billion to more than 33,000 projects across the country.
