The challenges we face in protecting, operating and regenerating Wentworth Woodhouse are, like its famous façade, huge.

The Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust is committed to ensuring the house and grounds are as accessible as possible to the public, so that we all can

enjoy its stunning architecture, revel in its fascinating history and marvel at the conservation work which is underway to protect the site for future generations.

But just opening the house means heating and cleaning it, and this uses up our very limited resources.

Wentworth Woodhouse belongs to you too - and its success will require us all, in our own way, to contribute to what has been described as ‘the greatest heritage

project for a generation’.

In this booklet you will find 50 items we desperately need, but cannot purchase without your support. Items range in price, so there is something to suit all.

By making a donation you will have the satisfaction of knowing exactly how we have used your money and the difference you have made to our work.

At the back of the booklet you will see an order form. Alternatively you can email us with the details of your donation.

If you prefer, you can of course make a general donation and allow us to allocate it as we see fit.

Please don’t forget to fill in the Gift Aid form if you are a UK tax payer.

Thank you so much for your support.
