Design & Heritage Group

The Design &Heritage Group meets monthly.

D&H works with and through many major public and national organisations to protect the heritage of Guildford, utilising the range of expertise of The Society’s members and ensuring the timely identification of heritage issues.

D&H works with other local conservation, heritage and local history groups to increase the general public's appreciation and understanding of Guildford's heritage.

D&H undertakes specific heritage projects or, where appropriate, supports projects undertaken by others.

D&H encourages architects and local organisations with biennial Design Awards.
