The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings believes old buildings have a future.

From cottages to castles and from churches to cathedrals we are here to help buildings and the people who care for them. We encourage excellence in new design to enrich and complement the built historic environment.

We train new generations of architectural professionals and building craftspeople to shape this landscape with sensitivity and skill, we play a statutory role as adviser to local planning authorities, and we campaign actively to protect old buildings at risk.

Our mission is to keep old buildings useful, beautiful and part of people’s lives.

Our heritage has a bright future thanks to legacies providing around a quarter of all our funding.
