Historic England (HE) are an Executive Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) sponsored by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). They were established on 1 April 1984 by the National Heritage Act 1983 and protect, champion and save the places that define who we are and where we’ve come from as a nation. HE is also the sole member of a charity – The English Heritage Trust, trading as English Heritage (EH). EH manages the National Heritage Collection of more than 400 historic sites and monuments under the nation’s ownership or protection, under a licence from HE that runs to 2023, and cares for these places and opens them to the public.
In line with Cabinet Office requirements the Tailored Review (TR) of HE will provide robust challenge to and assurance on the continuing need for the organisation and, where appropriate, make recommendations for improvement.
