Saving Country Houses
2024-03-16 08:00 - 17:00
A Wimbledon National Trust Association Lecture by Ben Cowell

This talk marks the 50th anniversary of Historic Houses, the association established in November 1973 to save the British country house. Back then, houses faced all sorts of threats, most particularly from proposed new levels of taxation.

Houses have found new ways to generate income: tourism, hospitality, events, weddings and many other business activities now take place in country house settings. This economic revival has helped to keep Britain’s special heritage of country houses and gardens safe and secure for future generations.

Ben Cowell OBE is the Director General of Historic Houses, the representative body for nearly 1,500 country house, gardens and castles across the UK.

When & Where: Wimbledon National Trust Association lectures are held at 3pm once a month on Saturday afternoons in the autumn and winter/spring at Christ Church Hall, 2a Cottenham Park Road, London, SW20 0RZ. Tea/coffee and biscuits are served from 2.30 pm.

Cost: WNTA members £4.00 Non members £4.50. Tea/coffee & biscuits 50p.
