The Landmark Trust is a building preservation charity, founded in 1965 by the late Sir John Smith and Lady Smith. It was established to rescue historic and architecturally interesting buildings and their surroundings from neglect and, when restored, to give them new life by letting them for holidays. The aim is to promote enjoyment of such places by enabling as many people as possible to experience living in them for a short time. The following are two renovated buildings the charity is very proud of.
