English Heritage

It is our job at English Heritage to make sure that the historic environment of England is properly maintained and cared for. By employing some of the country's very best architects, archaeologists and historians, we aim to help people understand and appreciate why the historic buildings and landscapes around them matter

National Trust

We care for over 248,000 hectares (612,000 acres) of beautiful countryside in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, plus almost 600 miles of coastline and more than 200 buildings and gardens of outstanding interest and importance. We are a registered charity and completely independent of Government, therefore relying heavily on the generosity of our subscribing members (now numbering over 3 million).

Oxfordshire Nature Conservation Forum

ONCF's is a 'sign-posting' service for all conservation and related issues in Oxfordshire. If you want to know who to talk to for information or ask for advise they will be able to put you in touch with the right person or organisation. They also provide a free Weekly Environmental Bulletin listing all the conservation walks, talks and events in the county that week, to receive it just email cynth@oncf.org.uk and we'll add you to the list.

Sacred Sussex

Sacred Sussex is the name of the tourism initiative of the Diocese of Chichester, which began in January, 2002. Membership is free to places of worship and the project covers East Sussex , West Sussex and Brighton and Hove. It is multi-faith.

The project aims to promote visits to places of worship in Sussex and to develop religious, cultural and heritage appreciation.
