About Us
Heritage is for everyone, and we are here for heritage.
Heritage lives in places and people, memories and stories, artefacts and traditions. It can connect us all to the past, and to each other. It can make us happier, strengthen every community, and help shape society for the better. Everybody should be able to enjoy the benefits it brings.
That’s why, as a charity, we care for over a million objects and hundreds of historic sites in every part of England, from international icons to local treasures. And it’s why we open them up, share their stories and find new ways for everyone to play, learn and create.
Our Places
We care for bridges and bronzes, gardens and gargoyles, stone circles and secret bunkers and everything in between.
It’s our job to conserve these places and objects, to open them up and to share their stories with as many people as possible.
