Quotes It is an icon of continuity; it has seen everything from the Norman Conquest to the Second World War. We tell the story of England — 6,000 years of history. We look after it and bring it to life. People will only preserve things if they understand them. We have to explain, therefore, why things matter. One of our purposes in this regard is to conserve things to help people understand their own history. I have always been interested in history and was taken to historic sites when I was a child. When I had young children, I went visiting with them, in turn. The diversity of visitors and the different ways they engage with historic places is something we have to be aware of and cater for. I would like English Heritage to be seen as a model institution for the challenge of bringing history to life It was a very challenging time for that institution,’ she explains. ‘I learnt there how a charity was different from a government agency, which was invaluable for this job. we were meeting all our targets to make the organisation independent of state subsidy. The pandemic hit us hard and we received £12.6 million for capital projects from the Government emergency fund.
