Work on a new £35m museum at the site of the Mary Rose warship is to begin this autumn after the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) approved funding for the scheme.  A £21m grant has been awarded to the Mary Rose Trust to help fund the construction of the permanent museum housing artefacts from the vessel. The new facility will house the Mary Rose within a structure resembling a black, wooden jewellery box.
