Historic England Grants

Featured New Updated

Description

Historic England provides funding and grant support for the protection, repair and sustainable management of England’s historic environment. Grants are available for a wide range of heritage projects including listed buildings, scheduled monuments, conservation areas, parks, gardens, industrial heritage and places of worship.

The programme supports urgent repairs, heritage at risk projects, traditional building conservation, public engagement initiatives and specialist conservation research. Historic England also supports projects that improve understanding of heritage assets, strengthen conservation skills and encourage long term stewardship of historic places.

Priority is often given to nationally significant heritage assets at risk, projects delivering public benefit and schemes that support sustainable conservation and environmental resilience.
