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.

Dip into this site to discover all you want to know about the SBPT and how you, too, can become involved in its activities.

After last year's visits we are off on our visits again.  In May we are going to a glorious Georgian House near Somerton and will be visiting Charlton Mackrell Church.  In July we shall be visiting 8 Market Place, Shepton Mallet - which received an Award in the SBPT/Stansell Awards last year.  A visit to the Church will also be included.  Our AGM will be held at Hestcombe Gardens near Taunton which will include a talk and visit to the Mill and Barn in the grounds. These buildings are currently being lovingly restored under the direction of Hestercombe Gardens Chief Executive, Philip White.  Once restored by the end of this year, not only will they form a major visitor attaction but will include a strong educational programme.
