A town's historical high street is set to receive £300,000 in heritage funding to preserve its ancient features.
Newland Street in Witham is packed with historical buildings, most of which date back to the 18th century but with some that date back as far as medieval times.
The traditional buildings can all be repaired or have their original features reinstated thanks to £150,000 of English Heritage funding, £75,000 from Essex County Council, £45,000 from Braintree District Council and £30,000 from Witham Town Council.
Jeremy Lucas, Essex County Council cabinet member for heritage, culture and the arts, said: "Receiving this funding means that parts of this wonderful medieval town can be restored and repaired.
"Witham is steeped in history and I am very pleased that we will be able to restore the valuable historical features of the buildings in Newland Street."
Anyone who owns a building in Newland Street and believes it to be eligible for restoration work should contact Paul Skeet, Essex County Council's grants officer, on 01245 437673.
