Grants for War Memorials

Historic England has been providing grants for the conservation and repair of war memorials since 2001. War memorials are a unique aspect of our national heritage. You will find a war memorial at the heart of almost every community in England.

Historic England now funds War Memorials Trust to provide grants for war memorials. Please visit their website for more details on the types of funding available, the eligibility criteria and how to apply. Their Conservation Team will be happy to help you with your enquiry and on many other aspects of how to care for war memorials.

You can visit the Grants Showcase on War Memorials Trust website to see some of the work we have supported to date.
