The Landmark Trust is a British building conservation charity, founded in 1965 by Sir John and Lady Smith, that rescues buildings of historic interest or architectural merit and then makes them available for holiday rental. The Trust's headquarters is at Shottesbrooke in Berkshire.
Most Trust properties are in England, Scotland and Wales. Several are on Lundy Island off the coast of north Devon, operated under lease from the National Trust. In continental Europe there are Landmark sites in Belgium, France and Italy. Five properties are in the United States — all in Vermont — one of which, Naulakha, was the home of Rudyard Kipling in the 1890s.
The Trust is a charity registered in England & Wales[1] and in Scotland.[2] The American sites are owned by an independent sister charity, Landmark Trust USA. There is also an Irish Landmark Trust.[3]
Those who rent "Landmarks" provide a source of funds to support restoration costs and building maintenance. The first rentals were in 1967 when six properties were available.[4] In 2015 the Trust had 196 properties available.[5] Landmark sites include forts, farmhouses, manor houses, mills, cottages, castles, gatehouses, follies and towers and represent historic periods from medieval to the 20th century.
Governance and Administration
The Trust employs a 400-strong workforce headed by a Director.[6] Dr Anna Keay was appointed Director in 2012,[7] succeeding Peter Pearce (1995–2012) and Robin Evans FRICS (1986–1995).
The work of the Trust is overseen by a Board of Trustees chaired by Neil Mendoza.[8]
HRH Prince Charles became Patron of the Landmark Trust in 1995.
A group of high profile supporters act as "Ambassadors" for the Trust, helping to raise awareness of the Trust's role in rescuing and preserving remarkable buildings. As at March 2017[9] these were: David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon; George Clarke; Nicholas Coleridge CBE; Sir Simon Jenkins; Griff Rhys Jones; and Natascha McElhone.
In media
The Gothic Temple at Stowe was filmed in March 1999 as the Scottish Chapel in the Bond movie "The World is Not Enough".[10]
In May 2015 five life-sized sculptures by Sir Antony Gormley, titled Land, were placed near the centre of the UK and at four compass points, in a commission by the Landmark Trust to celebrate its 50th anniversary. They were at Lowsonford (Warwickshire), Lundy (Bristol Channel), Clavell Tower (Dorset), Saddell Bay (Mull of Kintyre), and the Martello Tower (Aldeburgh, Suffolk).[11]
The work of the Trust was the subject of a six-part Channel 4 television documentary, Restoring Britain's Landmarks, first broadcast in October 2015.[12]
Four Channel 4 programmes, Great British Buildings: Restoration of the Year, transmitted from 23 March 2017, were co-hosted by Landmark Trust Director Dr Anna Keay and Kevin McCloud. Buildings featured included Belmont.
Properties
The following lists aim to be complete and illustrate both the variety of structures and geographical spread of the trust. In the Trust's early years, prior to the incorporation of the charity, properties were often bought with the support of the Manifold Trust. The Trust's current portfolio also includes properties bequeathed to the Trust, leased, or operated through a management agreement on behalf of other owners. Dates of acquisition and first lettings are shown where available from Landmark Trust or other published sources; time differences between dates often reflect previous/current ownership and the extent of restoration required.
