The Historic Houses Association (HHA) represents over 1,640 of the UK's privately and charitably owned historic houses, castles and gardens.

These are listed buildings or designated gardens, usually Grade I or II*, and are often outstanding. Many are considered to be iconic symbols of Britain's unique heritage.

Around 500 of these properties open their doors to visitors for days out, special tours, school visits, film locations, weddings and events, or as memorable places to stay. 24 million people a year visit HHA Member properties and there are over 45,000 Friends of the HHA. Members range from iconic stately homes such as Blenheim Palace, Highclere Castle, Castle Howard, Knebworth House, Longleat and Burghley House, to more intimate houses such as Traquair in Scotland, Treowen in Wales and Belle Isle in Northern Ireland. Most are still private family homes.

The Association was established in 1973 to help owners conserve these wonderful places in the interests of the nation and carries out important lobbying, advisory and marketing work on behalf of Member properties.

A quick update on what is happening with Sandgate's free broadband system: 1. Golden Arrow: It has taken over a year to finalise the legal arrangement with Punch Tavern but I am confident that the aerial will be reinstated soon which will ensure that those in the Golden Valley will have their free broadband again. So sorry for the delay.

2. System upgrade:

Bank Holiday Saturday 26th August and Sunday 27th August

I am busy raising the ÂŁ13,200 needed to upgrade the current system. Once successful, and I hope it will be later this year, the network will be redesigned to allow Sandgate residents to enjoy the benefits of fibre to the cabinet technology. This will increase the current signal strength from up to 15mbps to up to 61mbps. Technology changes so fast nowadays and new modern equipment will also be introduced in most locations.

3. If you would like to make a donation to the Trust to help with the upgrade you can do so by clicking here:
