Future projects

Buildings on the horizon

Here at Landmark, we are approached with around 150 endangered historic buildings each year. Here are a few buildings that may become future projects.

  • July 2021 update: We were working with Historic Environment Scotland (HES) to explore how we could save Mavisbank, Scotland’s first Palladian villa. In 2019 the project was shortlisted for a National Lottery Heritage Fund Heritage Horizon Award but unfortunately our application was unsuccessful. Click here to read more.

  • Ibsley Watch Tower is one of 12 airfields in the New Forest. It opened in 1940 and deployed military aircraft such as Spitfires in its lifetime. The building is now derelict and is held on a 99 year lease by the RAF Ibsley Heritage Trust, from the Somerley Estate.

  • Dover Town Hall, also known as ‘Maison Dieu’ is a large Grade I listed complex of buildings, dating back to 1204. In 1835, the building underwent a dramatic transformation to include major civic spaces, a law court, prison cells and a mayoral block. It is this Mayor’s Parlour Block that we are hoping might become a Landmark. 

    Thanks to a £4.27m grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, plans for the revival of Maison Dieu will be going ahead. Planning permission and listed building consent have been granted, and following further detailed research and design work, the restoration starts in September 2021. The Maison Dieu will be closed for two years during the restoration.
