The National Trust protects a huge range of historic buildings. They represent traditional vernacular, industrial and polite forms of architecture.

We protect over 200 historic houses, 47 industrial monuments and mills, 12 lighthouses, 35 pubs and inns, the sites of many factories and mines, 19 castles, 49 churches and chapels, 57 villages and 25 medieval barns.

But, with four out of five of our historic houses running at a loss and the cost of our commitments always increasing, every day brings new threats to the beautiful places in our care and our resources are increasingly stretched.
