Culture Secretary Maria Miller announced a further £5 million funding to create a new charity arm of English Heritage to manage England’s precious historic sites.
The DCMS writes:
The new charitable status will give English Heritage freedom to raise funds, with a target of finding a further £83 million from third parties, allowing it to undertake a huge programme of conservation for properties and works to improve the visitor experience. English Heritage properties currently receive more than six million visits every year.
Maria Miller said: ‘The incredible buildings and places up and down our country are admired across the world and these proposals along with government’s huge investment will enable English Heritage to look after and protect them for generations to come.
