Conserving and enhancing our heritage from Saxon times through to today.
Our aim is to maintain and encourage the scenic, historic and architectural values of buildings and land in Bradford on Avon and its neighbourhood.
The Trust is more than a preservation body. We believe that buildings built in every century have contributed to the fabric of our town and so we understand the importance of integrating new buildings in the area.
We have over 50 years of experience, campaigning and helping restore buildings of importance to the architectural heritage of Bradford on Avon.
Our positive approach to the town in the 21st century, includes undertaking environmental projects as well as showing an active interest in planning.
Three historic venues for hire.
Ideal for civil weddings, exhibitions, meetings and private celebrations.
Since restoring the Priory Barn in 1964, we have been involved in many restoration projects.
We take an active role in our community, in planning matters and we recently published our informative Design Guide.
Memories, stories and opinion from a range of contributors. We also hope events will be coming back soon…
