SPAB Ireland awarded Heritage Sector Support Fund grant by Heritage Council.

The SPAB believes in equality and abhors racism. Some historic monuments were put up to celebrate those whose lives involved profit from inequality or slavery. We understand that these monuments carry deep and painful associations.

We could not be more thrilled by the news that the SPAB's Old House project has been shortlisted for the Museum+Heritage Awards Restoration or Conservation Project of the Year. 

We have been alerted to concerns regarding the declining condition of this Grade II* listed hall. Years of neglect and recent theft of the roof lead is making the building vulnerable to water ingress.

We are absolutely delighted that the SPAB is one of the 476 heritage organisations who will share £44M from the the Culture Recovery Fund.  

We strongly object to plans to substantially alter to the Grade II* listed Drakes Almshouses in Buckinghamshire. We are especially concerned about misguided proposals to address a damp problem, which we think are likely to cause further harm to these special 17th-century buildings. 

This 'at risk' early-17th century farmhouse in a suburb of Gloucester has been empty for some time. Our Buildings at Risk Officer, Laura Polglase investigates.

We are delighted to announce our new SPAB Chair, Nichola Tasker. Nichola brings a wealth of organisational knowledge to the role with her experience as a Trustee and Guardian. Nichola is a conservation architect and SPAB Scholar (1998).
