Today\u2019s announcement gives it the green light, and means that these nationally-important parts of Britain\u2019s history will become self-financing, in the same way as the National Trust. And because they won\u2019t need Government funding in future, they will be better protected from fickle changes in political priorities and fashions as well.<\/p>\n<p>John Penrose said: \u2018I\u2019m absolutely delighted to see this idea becoming a reality. When we began the project, it seemed impossibly ambitious, but some of these sites are thousands of years old, and they need long-term financial stability if they\u2019re going to be protected for thousands more. These new arrangements provide precisely the solid financial foundations they will need to survive intact for future generations to enjoy. Congratulations to Simon Thurley and everybody at English Heritage, DCMS and the Treasury for bringing the project safely home.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Read more at<\/span>: <a href=\"http:\/\/johnpenrose.org\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=2143:former-heritage-minister-celebrates-as-his-plans-for-english-heritage-come-to-fruition&amp;catid=55:heritage\" target=\"_blank\">LINK\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Heritage Minister John Penrose is celebrating as his proposal for a second National Trust, in the form of a financially-independent charity which will care for landmark English Heritage sites was confirmed in George Osborne\u2019s Spending Review statement.??
