Campaigning

This important 16th century house has been 'at risk' for many years and is now in a parlous state. 

This ancient Grade II listed house has lain empty for several years but its new owner contacted the SPAB to ask for guidance on proposed repairs.

The frieze of Lincoln Cathedral’s west front has been more interesting and challenging than almost any other case over recent decades.

We explored our archive for records of the SPAB's activity on Valentine's day. In 1895 founding committee members were discussing repairs to Eckington bridge in Worcestershire.

The Romping Donkey, Cheshire is one of a number of buildings at risk with which we have been involved over a period of several years. Sadly, the building remains in a poor and vulnerable condition with no use at present; however, a recent submission of planning and listed building consent applications suggest there may be fresh hope on the horizon.

Proposals for the rebuilding of the Royal Clarence Hotel, Exeter after a devastating fire.

An original historic floor contributes enormously to the character and the spirit of a place. Whether it’s humble cobbles or stately marble hall, the floor tells the story of the building. When people enter an old building, step onto a churchyard path or walk down a street in an ancient town or village their natural inclination is to look up – at the ceiling, at the windows, at the walls, at the buildings above and around.  That’s why the SPAB have launched the History at Your Feet Campaign.
