HRH The Prince of Wales returned to Llwyn Celyn in July 2018 to celebrate the craftsmanship involved in its restoration. He admired the fine medieval features, now carefully revealed and restored to former glory, and met representatives from our contractors including joiners, masons and apprentices.
King Charles III
Patron of the Landmark Trust
His Majesty King Charles III, formerly HRH the Prince of Wales, became our Patron in 1993. We are incredibly grateful for His Majesty's longstanding and dedicated support of our charity.
"The best and most durable ideas tend to be simple. Few organisations have proved this more effectively the Landmark Trust, now celebrating its half century. The founding notion that extraordinary buildings could be saved for future generations and supported by the people who stay in them was truly original.
The Landmark Trust’s approach to building conservation and re-use accords closely with my own belief that for historic buildings to prosper they need to be both economically productive and socially useful. I am particularly pleased that in recent times the Landmark Trust has expanded its training programmes and, through a collaboration with my Foundation for Building Community, is now helping apprentices learn their trades from Landmark’s own skilled craftspeople.
As Patron, I have always been a great supporter of the invaluable work carried out by The Landmark Trust."

HRH The Prince of Wales generously hosted an event for our supporters, at which we announced our plans to target five categories of particularly at-risk building types. We were thrilled that he accepted our invitation to become an Honorary Landmark Pioneer.
A tour of Maesyronnen Chapel
January 2014
HRH The Prince of Wales was invited to visit Maesyronnen Chapel near Hay-on-Wye, the oldest surviving purpose-built reformist chapel in Wales. After visiting the Chapel, The Prince toured the small cottage built at one end of Chapel in the 19th century for a caretaker – which is now a Landmark.
