Restoration of buildings

Used for the restoration and maintenance of buildings, monuments, tombs and mausoleums as well as for the construction of new.

In 1975, when the Friends of Highgate Cemetery [FOHC] took over the operation of Highgate Cemetery, many of the monuments were in a state of decay. Several were listed by English Heritage and FOHC were able to apply for grant funding for some of this work. The largest and most prominent of the built features were gradually restored and new mausoleums and monuments have been constructed.
