Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust (HBPT) plays an advocacy role in safeguarding the historic built environment across Hampshire by promoting the conservation and sustainable reuse of heritage structures that might otherwise fall into disrepair or be lost. Our most recent capital project is the first phase repair and restoration of the drying sheds at the Bursledon Brickworks Museum, financed by the sale of land for affordable housing on part of the site. We are also developing a sustainable business plan for the reopening and commercial operation of Bursledon Windmill following the news that The National Lottery Heritage Fund has awarded a £247,000 grant to repair and reopen in 2027. We are also grateful to Eastleigh Borough Council for allocating £25,000 match funding.  

 

We are actively seeking new trustees with building surveying, planning, historic building conservation, research and advocacy skills.  To find our more click here
