English Heritage Guardians
You can play a vital role in caring for England's heritage and making the story of England more accessible than ever before.
THE DIFFERENCE YOU CAN MAKE
Some of the nation's greatest works of art hang in our properties. Each one needs to be conserved individually and with great care. Castles that have stood for nearly a thousand years, hosting royalty and seeing off seiges, need their stonework repaired. Gardens, telling the story of centuries of landscape design and groundbreaking discoveries, must be nurtured.
You can help meet these challenges.
English Heritage Guardians
By becoming a Guardian you will help safeguard the future of the nation's richest heritage.
The Guardians scheme recognises donors who support English Heritage with gifts of £2,500 or more. They champion heritage and are at the heart of our community.
As a Guardian, you'll gain a deeper insight into our work of caring for historic properties across the nation and you'll have the opportunity to engage with our extensive collection of sites and artefacts.
Behind the Scenes
To thank you for your support, we invite Guardians to get behind the scenes and experience first hand the work that your support makes possible, including meeting the conservators, historians, scientists, and educators who are at the front line of caring for England's heritage.
SAVE OUR STORY - WALL PAINTINGS
We look after the largest collection of wall paintings in the country. Recently, our conservation team visited sites with significant wall paintings to assess and prioritise those most in need of important conservation work. They found that many were in need of urgent significant repair. With your support, we can to bring together specialist conservators to accelerate this vital work, and save these treasures before it’s too late.
All donations made will go towards conserving our historic wall paintings.
Marble Hill Revived
Marble Hill was opened to the public in 1903 after local councils and private donors came together to save it from developers. Now it needs our help again.
The building is in need of significant repairs, and the Georgian glory of the landscape has been forgotten. The house is rarely open, and many people in the area have never visited this priceless piece of local heritage.
We’re working on plans to change that. But English Heritage is a charity, and we need your help.
