The Tyntesfield Vision
The purpose of the National Trust at Tyntesfield is to bring alive the ongoing conservation and public access through learning opportunities such as work placements, apprenticeships, events, guided tours, 'taster' sessions, volunteering over the coming years to name but a few! We hope that this will lead to the fulfilment of everyone involved, whether it is personal development, building new skills and confidence, becoming part of the history of Tyntesfield or just having fun.
Tyntesfield saved for the nation
In June 2002, the spectacular Victorian Gothic-Revival estate of Tyntesfield near Bristol was saved for the nation through the tremendous generosity of our supporters and a number of organisations. However, there is still a long way to go. It is vital that we continue to raise funds for the long-term care of Tyntesfield.
The Trust has applied to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for £20 million to adapt the estate for full public access and enjoyment, to carry out essential capital repairs and through the creation of an endowment fund – to provide long–term support for operating costs. On 22 March 2005, HLF announced that it had granted Tyntesfield a Stage One Pass. The Trust will now work towards submitting a detailed Stage Two application which it hopes to complete during 2006.
