Windows Appeal
Across our 400 sites, you'll find a vast array of historic windows, from fine Venetian windows and stained-glass to grand Victorian sashes and simple leaded windows. All provide a unique insight in to the lives of those who came before us and we need your help to protect them.
Over one million pounds’ worth of repairs will be needed in the next five years and that is why we are appealing to you to support the conservation of these irreplaceable emblems of ancient skill and craftsmanship.

You won’t be surprised to hear that, like so many other organisations, we are facing an unprecedented challenge due to the Coronavirus crisis. There’s no escaping the fact that our ability to protect and preserve our nation’s heritage is under threat.
The closure of our sites meant that much-needed funding from admissions, new and renewing memberships, cafés and shops has been lost overnight. The daily upkeep of estates was suspended for months. Conservation work has been put on hold. Major restoration projects have been postponed. Your support is critical to our very survival, and will help to make sure England’s story survives in all its glory.
