Background:

In September 1997, a group of parishioners realised that the roof of a former Dominican Chapel was in very poor repair. The loss of the Chapel would have meant not merely the loss of a fine building - the oldest post-reformation Roman Catholic Chapel in Gloucestershire with a fascinating romantic history - but would also have greatly detracted from the whole group of listed buildings that surrounded the church. This was the catalyst which led to the formation of the charity Hartpury Historic Buildings Trust, later renamed Hartpury Historic Land and Buildings Trust. Its objects, registered with the Charity Commission are:

'To advance the education of the public by the conservation protection and improvement of any part of the physical and natural environment in and around the parish of Hartpury which is of historical significance.'

Its aims are to:

be a source of advice on the restoration of historic buildings.
take ownership, subject to satisfactory funding, of historic land or buildings at risk for the public benefit
restore and seek alternative uses for derelict or redundant historic buildings, as far as possible ensuring public access.
increase awareness of the local heritage by publishing information about the parish and surrounding area and by other appropriate means.
