The Landmark Trust is a UK charity that specialises in rescuing historic buildings at risk and restoring them to the highest standards. They are then let for self-catering holidays to pay for future maintenance. Founded in 1965, the Trust now has a portfolio of 200 historic buildings in its care across England, Scotland and Wales, with a few also in France, Italy and Belgium. Most of these buildings would not have survived without its help. This paper explains the how the Trust was founded, and charts its progress to the present day
