About us

Norwich Preservation Trust is a charitable company administered by a board of trustees. Up to seven appointments are made from nominees of the Norwich City Council and the Norwich Society. Trustees are normally already experienced with the work of charities and in addition bring an appropriate interest and expertise in conservation to the board.

The current Chairman of the Trust is Stephen Earl MBE.

The management of the Trust and its properties is undertaken by its project organiser and surveyor, Chloe Canning-Trigg. Her wide range of responsibilities include acting as overall project manager on building restoration work, sourcing funding and permissions and liaising with professional teams and contractors.

The Trust’s objective is ‘to preserve, restore and maintain within the city of Norwich for the benefit of the whole community, buildings of architectural or historic merit, either individually or as part of the street scene.’

The Trust was established as a Company on 25th January 1966 and therefore will be celebrating its 55th anniversary in 2021.
