English Heritage has grown from small beginnings towards the end of the nineteenth century to over 400, inspired by a determination to put England's heritage ahead of private interest. English Heritage, which began as a government agency in 1983, is now a registered charity. Over 400 historic buildings, monuments, and sites are cared for by them, ranging from world-famous prehistoric sites to grand medieval castles, from Roman forts on the outskirts of the empire to a Cold War bunker.
English Heritage has been offering a hands-on experience that will inspire and entertain people of all ages. Authenticity, quality, imagination, responsibility, and fun are all values that guide their work. Their vision is that people will experience the story of England where it really happened. English Heritage protect an internationally important collection of historic sites and artefacts which span six millennia, from the ancient past to the present day.
