Our aims and how you can help

Our charity exists to protect and preserve mausolea - these are architecturally and historically important structures that are subject to the ravages of our climate and often to fall into bad states of repair. Our work includes raising awareness and we have taken into guardianship a number of historically important mausolea. You can read more here.
