The Somerset Building Preservation Trust

The Somerset Building Preservation Trust works to save the architectural heritage of Somerset for YOU and the nation as a whole.  Historic buildings that would otherwise be lost through dilapidation and neglect are restored.  They are then converted into a variety of uses - a tithe barn into a community hall, some 16th century almshouses into social housing, an 18th century Congregational Chapel into an area for the local community to enjoy exhibitions …… and much more.

Our members have been out and about enjoying themselves on visits

Recently we visited Whitestaunton Manor, nr Chard, a magnificent Grade I listed house, dating from the 15th century, which is being lovingly and carefully restored by the owners. In the grounds is the site of a Roman bath house. This was visited by Time Team in 2004 and appeared on the television. This is the SBPT's second visit to Whitestaunton Manor and we were all amazed at the tremendous amount of work that had been carried out on the house between the visit. As ever we all enjoyed a fabulous tea produced by members of the Samford Arundel Women's Institutes.
