POSTPONED
**This event has been postponed until further notice.
Historic Houses and University of Oxford – with generous support from the Historic Houses Foundation – will be running a one-day symposium in June 2020, to mark the 70th anniversary of the publication of the Gowers Report on the future of Britain’s buildings of ‘outstanding historic or architectural interest’ (1950). This academic conference will consider the report’s legacy for the conservation and use of historic houses, both independently owned and owned by organisations including the National Trust and English Heritage, seventy years on.
