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.
There are many ways you can help us:
By supporting our organization and taking part in our activities, you will help us to look after the mausolea we have in care, raise awareness of the threat facing many others, and can explain the unique fascination of this type of building to the wider public. Click here join us
You can help support the Mausolea & Monuments Trust, by making a donation towards our important work in researching, conserving and championing Mausolea across the country. As a small charity with limited overheads all donations make a big difference to our work - click here to donate.
