Support the Georgian Group

Are you passionate about protecting Georgian architecture and gardens?
Consider making a donation towards our work or participating as a member of the Georgian Group.
We would also love to hear from you if you are concerned for the future of a local building from the Georgian period.

Membership

Membership of the group gives you access to our annual journal and magazines, as well as a wide range of events and trips. You are also helping to support the work of the group in its aim to conserve our important Georgian heritage. 

Become a member

Donate

Quite often we are the only voice speaking up for a threatened part of our heritage. We are always grateful to receive donations towards our work - whether specific, such as to cover the cost of our conservation advisers, or more generally towards the running of the charity.
