We welcome applications for corporate membership from like-minded companies and organisations.

Corporate members will help support our key objectives:

  • To stimulate local interest in the preservation of the architectural beauty of our town
  • To encourage the creation of good modern buildings that generations to come will consider worthy of preservation
  • To represent the Society’s views to local, county and other authorities, and to co-operate with them to secure these ends

Project Sponsorship

As new Society projects and activities develop, we will look to offer corporate members the opportunity to provide support and direct sponsorship. We will consider projects as they arise and work with corporate members with a relevant interest or skill. Recognition of sponsorship will be included in all relevant documents, including those on our website.

You can also pay your subscription by completing a standing order.
