Cowdray Heritage Trust

Cowdray today is in the care of the Cowdray Heritage Trust*, an independent charity now responsible for managing the site on a 99-year lease from the Cowdray Estate. The Trust was formed in 1996 after Midhurst Town Council and the current (4th)Viscount Cowdray met to formulate a plan to save the ruins from total collapse and to make it a successful visitor attraction and a vibrant living part of the area’s heritage.
