The Historic England Grant
We fund a broad range of activities which help people to protect and connect with England’s heritage.
The level of funding we offer depends on the type of activity and the needs of the individual project. There is no minimum or maximum amount you can apply for but the grants we offer are typically between £1,000 and £500,000.
