Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust (HBPT) is committed to preserving and regenerating historic buildings in our community. Retaining and adapting historic buildings supports sustainable development, reduces carbon footprint and helps meet the Government’s net zero targets. We believe that our cultural heritage is an invaluable resource that must be protected and promoted.

 

Our most recent capital project is the first phase repair and restoration of the drying sheds at the Bursledon Brickworks Museum, financed by the sale of land for affordable housing on part of the site.  We are also developing a sustainable business plan for the reopening and commercial operation of Bursledon Windmill.

​

We are actively seeking new trustees with building surveying, planning, historic building conservation, research and advocacy skills. Contact us to learn more. 

 

For 50 years the Trust has become an important partner and advocate working with local authorities, amenity societies and conservation teams. Watch our 50th anniversary presentation

Building Preservation Trusts

The Heritage Trust Network is the voice for building preservation trusts promoting and supporting the rescue and sustainable use of historic buildings. A Building Preservation Trust (BPT) is a not-for-profit organisation, the majority of which are rooted in their local communities. Some cover individual towns, cities, or whole counties. Others specialise in particular types of building.
