Patronage has been at the heart of HOLT since our foundation in 1980. Over 40 years we have been supported by leading lights of the city, people passionate about London and its history who understand the vulnerability of its old buildings.

 

By joining us as a Patron you will discover parts of the city you never knew existed, enjoy special visits to artisan studios and workshops and join behind-the-scenes talks at HOLT projects.

 

Patrons are invited to private lunches and dinners in central London with conservation specialists, and you’ll be welcome to have a go yourself at some traditional skills: soldering stained glass, applying gold leaf or carving stone. Our events are always lively and you’ll meet other Patrons who share your interests.

“Fascinating! I had no idea there was so much science involved. The historic context and techniques were beautifully explained and made for a remarkable lunch. Thank you so much for such a fantastic opportunity to learn.”

​

 

Starting at £1,000 per year, there are three Patron levels to choose from. Each level of support makes a huge difference to our work and we are immensely grateful.

“The work HOLT does is unrivalled and if you have the same passion for London’s heritage as I do or even if you have a fraction of the passion that I do, you could get some serious enjoyment from being part of the Trust.”

 

– Edward Benyon, Chairman of the Patrons' Committee
