English Heritage New Model - TrustNews December 14
Following our response to the consultation document, described in TrustNews in our June issue, the Trust has received a letter from Sir Laurie Magnus, Chairman of English Heritage, to say that on the 14th of October the Government confirmed plans, announced last year, to restructure English Heritage, investing nearly £90 million over the next few years. A new body to manage and promote the properties and sites in the National Heritage Collection, numbering more than 400, will be set up, retaining the name English Heritage, as well as a separate one, Historic England, to provide expert advice and act as a champion for the sector.
