Welcome

Richmondshire Building Preservation Trust (RBPT) is a heritage restoration charity based in the market town of Richmond, North Yorkshire. Established to adopt, restore, and manage at risk buildings throughout Richmondshire, our aim as an organisation is to PRESERVE, RESTORE and INSPIRE.

Our flagship project is the former Victorian railway station The Station – now an award-winning café, 3 screen cinema, art galleries, and home to a number of successful independent businesses.

As our work at The Station shows, we don’t just preserve what’s already there; we breathe new life into Richmond’s historic buildings. That’s what we hope to achieve at our latest project, The Old Grammar School - celebrating the heritage of this iconic Richmond site, whilst blending old with new.

Making a general donation to RBPT will allow us
to continue our building preservation work:
