Essential maintenance at Anne of Cleves House
Lewes, East Sussex, United Kingdom
Aim
Help us match the Friends of Anne of Cleves House's generous pledge to carry out essential repairs on the historic roof at this Tudor gem.
Anne Of Cleves House is a stunning timber-framed medieval house dating back to the 15th Century, and is a popular visitor attraction in the heart of Lewes.
It was given to Anne of Cleves at the end of her short-lived marriage to Henry VIII. Although she never actually lived there, it is a beautifully preserved representation of Tudor life in a delightful setting.
With challenging economic conditions being felt right across the heritage sector, our role as a guardian of Sussex’s heritage is becoming increasingly difficult. You can help us undertake important conservation work, enhancing the experience for all who visit and safeguarding these wonderful properties for future generations to enjoy.
We specifically need your help to carry out essential maintenance to the roof at Anne of Cleves House so it remains a safe and welcoming environment for people to visit and enjoy.
The Friends of Anne of Cleves House have generously pledged £1,000 towards this work, and now we need your help to match this figure and raise a further £1,000, ensuring that we can carry out the work required.
Anna Crabtree, Chair of the Friends of Anne of Cleves House commented:
"Anne of Cleves’ Houses is a beautiful and important medieval property with lovely gardens. The Friends hold regular fundraising events to help Sussex Past keep the building safe and in good repair for our visitors, but we do need your help to achieve this."
Please consider donating, as every contribution, no matter the amount, helps us reach our goal.
