The Somerset Building Preservation Trust

The Somerset Building Preservation Trust works to save the architectural heritage of Somerset for YOU and the nation as a whole.  Historic buildings that would otherwise be lost through dilapidation and neglect are restored.  They are then converted into a variety of uses - a tithe barn into a community hall, some 16th century almshouses into social housing, an 18th century Congregational Chapel into an area for the local community to enjoy exhibitions …… and much more.   The latest project is the restore Castle House (Grade 1 listed), which comes within the curtilage of Taunton Castle. Very generous funding of £330,000 has already been received from Viridor Credits - this comes under the landfill tax credits scheme plus Garfield Weston Foundation (£50,000):  an anonymous donation of £10,500:  £10,000 from private donations, with the outcome of other applications awaited.
