Today we are launching a new fund to support our mission to rescue Cornwall’s historic sites!
All over Cornwall, there are heritage sites that are uncared for and at risk – some that are even lost forever. It is vital that their future is safeguarded and that’s where the Historic Sites Fund comes in.
In the last two years, our collection of sites has grown by 36%, a figure that is swiftly exceeding our targets to sustainably grow our work as a leading heritage body in Cornwall. If a historic site needs protecting, we want to help and that’s why your support is vital in making this happen.
Every penny you donate to our Historic Sites Fund will go towards purchasing and managing historic Cornish sites which need our support. Any donation, big or small, makes a huge difference.
The historic sites we care for are all open to the public and free to enter. Your donation will help ensure that everyone can access the special places that make Cornwall unique – one and all.
In the current economic climate, your support is more valuable than ever. Please donate today.
The latest site we hope to acquire is Tregonning Hill near Helston, which contains monuments dating back to the Bronze Age and is known as the birthplace of the global china clay industry. The site went up for sale by a private individual in July, and we hope to purchase it to protect it for everyone and ensure public access remains.
