Aims/priorities: Grants are available for the conservation of historically, artistically and culturally significant buildings and objects dating from before 1837 that are in urgent need of remedial treatment.
This funding is for projects which meet the Trust's current priorities:
- The funding supports the conservation of historic objects, collections and features of buildings which are pre-Victorian in date (pre-1830s).
- Items must be in public or charitable ownership and accessible to the public.
- These might include individual paintings, sculpture and monuments, wall paintings and non-structural architectural fittings such as decorative plaster work and panelling. They will also consider applications relating to archaeological finds, items within archives and libraries and other decorative art objects.
- Preference is given to smaller projects, or specific elements of projects, where the Trust's contribution can have a greater impact.
