As a charity we rely on the support of charitable trusts and foundations to help care for our sites and open them to as many people as possible. Grants enable us to complete vital conservation work, run education and training programmes, make sites more accessible and involve more people in volunteering and events.

Caring for historic places and their collections for the benefit of this and future generations is the cornerstone of everything we do. If you would like to support English Heritage through a grant, we would love to discuss this with you.

We would like to sincerely thank all of our current supporters. Your generosity makes a significant difference to our work.

Rievaulx Abbey

Rievaulx Abbey was one of England's most powerful Cistercian monasteries. In 2015, new interpretation was introduced across the whole site, including an inspiring new Visitor's Centre and museum to display the abbey's monastic collection.

Support from The Sylvia and Colin Shepherd Charitable Trust, the Sir George Martin Trust and the Tinsley Charitable Trust enabled new interpretation material to be introduced, including a new Family Trail.

Wrest Park

Wrest Park is one of the few places in the world where you can see the evolution of landscape gardening over the last 300 years. In 2011, a new Sculpture Gallery was formed in the Wrest Park Dairy, made possible by support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

In 2015, The J Paul Getty Jnr Charitable Trust and The Steel Charitable Trust supported the restoration of the 18th-century North East Great Garden, bringing to life a key part of the magnificent gardens. The site has been transformed, with new walkways, stunning gardens and improved interpretation.
