Grants for listed buildings
Owners of buildings designated Grade I or Grade II* by Historic England may be eligible for grants from Historic England.
The Heritage Funding Directory, managed by The Heritage Alliance and the Architectural Heritage Fund, is a free guide that provides comprehensive information on financial support for anyone undertaking UK heritage projects. The directory offers around 400 updated listings detailing funding sources, including grants, loans, awards, scholarships, and other resources for heritage initiatives, such as historic buildings, landscapes, parks, museums, and more.
The directory caters to individuals interested in repairing, restoring, or repurposing listed historic buildings, scheduled structures, or those in conservation areas with recognised historical significance. It offers comprehensive information on funding sources for historic buildings and on regeneration programmes that support projects involving historic structures within a broader scope.
Certain works to listed buildings that have received listed building consent may be eligible for a zero VAT rating; however, maintenance or repair work is not eligible. Please see our separate advice note for details on VAT.
