    I believe the Heritage Lottery Fund set aside £1m for the helmet Barry. As the estimated auction price was £200-300,000 this was thought to be more than enough. However at the auction in October the price sky-rocketed beyond everyone's expectations.

    As far as I can have been able to determine the "Keep it in Cumbria" campaign has raised nearly £2m since the auction. Hopes now lie in the Secretary of State to impose a temporary export ban under the grounds that it is an item of national significance, this will allow more time for the price to be matched. Fingers crossed.
