Historic Houses Association

The Historic Houses Association (HHA) represents 1,500 privately owned historic houses, castles and gardens throughout the UK. These are listed buildings or designated gardens, usually Grade I or II, and are often outstanding. Many HHA houses feature in the minds of the public as symbols of Britain's unique heritage. Around 500 houses and 160 gardens are open regularly to the public on a commercial basis, attracting between them about 15 million visitors each year.

The HHA works for the future of all these 1,500 houses, the heritage they conserve and the businesses, families and employees they support, by lobbying on their behalf, representing the privately owned heritage sector to government and others at national, regional and local level. Whenever possible, HHA works in partnership with other organisations in the heritage sector to pursue these aims:

*Supports sector wide campaigns, such as "History Matters - Pass it on"
*Works closely with the the Union of European Historic Houses Associations, in Brussels and Strasbourg

Below are a few buildings belonging to the HHA.
