English Heritage is a charity that manages over 400 historic monuments, buildings and places.
English Heritage sites include prehistoric sites, a battlefield, medieval castles, Roman forts, historic industrial sites, listed ruins, and architecturally notable English country houses.
Heritage is for everybody, and we are here for heritage.
English Heritage lives in places and people, memories and stories, artefacts and traditions. It can connect us all to the past, and to each other. It can make us happier, strengthen every community, and help shape society for the better. Everybody should be able to enjoy the benefits it brings.
That’s why, as a charity, we care for over a million objects and hundreds of historic sites in every part of England, from international icons to local treasures. And it’s why we open them up, share their stories and find new ways for everybody to play, learn and create.
We care for bridges and bronzes, gardens and gargoyles, stone circles and secret bunkers and everything in between.
It’s our job to conserve these places and objects, to open them up and to share their stories with as many people as possible.
English Heritage’s online shop offers unique gifts inspired by our country’s rich history. We have the perfect gift ideas for all ages and any occasion, many of them exclusive to us. Gifts for her include wildlife products, beautiful keepsake jewellery, pretty scarves and accessories and traditional scented toiletries. Gifts for men draw on ancient history, Stonehenge and the First World War, with mugs, keyrings, cufflinks and more.
We also have original ideas for wedding gifts and christening gifts as well as an extensive range of traditional and wooden toys children love. English Heritage protects and promotes England’s spectacular historic buildings and archaeological sites, ensuring that they are researched, understood and accessible to all. We have over 400 sites open to the public, including the world-famous Stonehenge, the recently refurbished Kenwood House, Tintagel Castle and Hadrian’s Wall. As a non-profit organisation, the proceeds from the sale of our products are used to maintain and preserve these properties.
