The Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England

The Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England was an official organization established to identify, record, and document England’s historic buildings and sites. Its work helped preserve the country’s architectural heritage by creating detailed records of structures such as castles, churches, and historic homes. These records support conservation efforts, research, and public awareness about England’s cultural history. The commission operated from 1908 until 1999, after which its functions were integrated into English Heritage, an organization that continues to protect and promote the understanding of England’s historic environment.
