Learning from our past
to sustain our future

Historic Buildings & Places champions historic buildings and places of all ages and all types and works to provide a sustainable future for them. We are also a National Amenity Society and as such we have a role as a Consultee on Listed Building Consent applications. Our organisation was previously known as the Ancient Monuments Society until October 2021 when we adopted Historic Buildings & Places as our working title.

As the heritage sector responds to the challenges of climate change, Historic Buildings & Places offers Carbon Literacy training tailored specifically for heritage organisations and museums. Delivered online in partnership with the Carbon Literacy Project, it provides a practical starting point for organisations preparing to mitigate the impacts of climate change and adapt to a Net Zero society. Through interactive learning, participants gain the knowledge and tools to understand carbon, take meaningful action to reduce emissions, and continue caring for our historic buildings and places.
