December 2021 - Phase 1 Completed !! The Blue Coat Figurines on the facade of the Old School House are now illuminated from dusk 'til 11.00pm every day. Phase ll RI! is actively fund raising for illuminating the spire and clock faces of of St, Mary's and the Christopher Jones memorial. RI! hopes to be in a position to install this element of the wider project by Spring 2022 in time for the commemoration 400 years since Christopher Jones burial in Rotherhithe.

We are delighted to share with you the exciting news that the Rotherhithe Illuminated! legacy lighting project has been included as a Case Study in the Centre for London's "Seeing clearly : How lighting can make London a better city" report, which was launched on 10 March. As this report shows, the benefits for the environment, the wellbeing of Londoners, and the recovery of London’s businesses from the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, are waiting to be seized. https://1drv.ms/b/s!AmOJx2AefKGxiXmgoV5-Q1qITzmx?e=TlBa Section 3 / P 37

As a result of Rotherhithe Illuminated!'s success at raising funds to illuminate the Blue Coat figures on the Old School House our friends at the PLA - who are very supportive of the whole project - included a short piece about the project in last week’s edition of their weekly newsletter - Tidal Thames News.
