Vinehill Trust

We help fund historic building restoration projects that provide employment and training in traditional building crafts, including niche crafts such as carving, marbling, graining, stucco and scagliola work, mural and fresco work, leadwork, thatching, gilding, stained glass conservation and encaustic tiling and tile restoration. The term ‘historic building’ includes twentieth century buildings of architectural interest. Alongside buildings, we welcome applications for the restoration of historic fixtures and fittings, curtilage structures and structures in designed landscapes, especially where opportunities for heritage skills training are provided. We are particularly interested in projects in less affluent areas that can act as a catalyst for socio-economic improvement.
