The Latrobe Heritage Trust
is able to add to your generosity towards Hammerwood:
The National Trust annually receives important bequests free of inheritance tax which are crucial to the upkeep and improvement of National Trust properties. None of these funds can ever help a non-National Trust house.
The policy of the Latrobe Heritage Trust is to grant aid important non-National Trust houses and parks subject to conditions relating to their opening to the public so that their future, as part of the nation's heritage, is equally assured. If you would like to make a bequest to the Latrobe Heritage Trust in your Will, such donations are free of Inheritance Tax.
Further details can be supplied by the Trustees: please write to the Trustees c/o Hammerwood Park.
