English Heritage Trust, The
From world-famous prehistoric sites to grand medieval castles, Roman forts on the edges of an empire to a Cold War bunker, we care for hundreds of historic sites in every part of England, from international icons to local treasures. We open them up, share their stories and find new ways for everybody to enjoy, play, learn and create. Protecting and maintaining these special places for the nation, as well as over a million objects in our care, is the cornerstone of everything we do.

Clevedon Pier & Heritage Trust
Clevedon Pier is a Victorian Pier situated on the east shore of the Severn Estuary and is Britain’s only Grade I listed Pier. It is over 150 years old, meaning that it needs to be carefully maintained to protect it, costing us over £100,000 in a typical year. We need to raise funds to help maintain the Pier, so that it can be enjoyed by future generations.
