Our Appeals

Our Appeals

The historic places in English Heritage's care span six millennia and include palaces, abbeys, houses, castles, hill figures, industrial sites, Roman forts and even deserted medieval villages. Discover how you can make a difference through our appeals. 

Your Places Appeal

Over 300 of our treasured sites are free to enter. They're open to everybody, no matter their means. But free to enter doesn't mean free to maintain. It costs over £4.2 million a year to care for these special places - and that's why we need your help. 

Please donate to our appeal today to help protect them for tomorrow.

Walmer Castle: Repair and Resilience

Walmer Castle is undergoing vital repairs to its roof so that we can protect the castle and its collections. Recently, the castle has suffered from several leaks due to the poor condition of its roofs and the deteriorating condition of its windows and doors.

We’re embarking on a major project to repair the roof and protect the castle and its collections for years to come. To complete this extensive project however, we need your help. Please consider donating to the project today.
