English Heritage not only carries out a wide range of conservation projects at its own sites as part of an ongoing programme to maintain and look after them, but we will also step in to rescue particularly outstanding or unusual buildings that might otherwise be lost. We are very much the guardians of last resort and only get involved when all other avenues have been explored and failed. We have a tremendous range of expertise within the organisation and recent rescue projects include restoring one of this country's finest Jacobean mansions, saving the world's first iron framed building and rescuing a family silverware manufactory.
