What is a Buildings Preservation Trust?

Romsey's King John's House and Tudor Cottage was one of the earlier benefactors of the work of a Buildings Preservation Trust

The Heritage Network Trust is the voice for building preservation trusts promoting and supporting the rescue and sustainable use of historic buildings. A Building Preservation Trust (BPT) is a not-for-profit organisation, the majority of which are rooted in their local communities. Some cover individual towns, cities, or whole counties. Others specialise in particular types of building.
