Welcome to the Wiltshire Historic Buildings Trust

What We Do

We work to protect buildings of architectural and historical interest in Wiltshire.  To achieve this, we:

• acquire neglected historic buildings, carefully repair them and then pass them on to new owners who will give them the long-term future they deserve.  
• support others to rescue or preserve the buildings they care about, sharing our knowledge and skills and  providing guidance and expertise.
• foster the next generation of heritage champions and broaden access to heritage, through education and engagement, talks, site visits and training programmes.

As a charity, we can access grants not available to private buyers or commercial firms.  This enables us to take on buildings that would be nonviable for others.  Grants do not cover all our costs: to do more and to increase the positive impact we make we also rely on donations.  If you like what we do and are able to lend us your support, please donate and sign up to our quarterly Newsletter to be kept in touch with our work. 

Who We Are

A charitable company set up in 1967, we are run by a board of ten Governors, who work on a voluntary basis and are chosen for the skills and experience that they bring.  Our director manages the day-to-day operations, supported by our team of external advisers and volunteers.  By staying lean and bringing in resource when needed, we can act swiftly and concentrate our resources where it will deliver most impact.
