The A.M.S. is unique amongst the Amenity Societies in that
buildings of all ages fall within our remit. 'Ancient Monument'
is a notoriously ambiguous term, but we take it to mean any
man-made structure of architectural or historical interest
- including houses, whether vernacular or polite, barns, almshouses,
dovecotes, mills, churches and chapels. |

The Twentieth Century Society exists to safeguard the heritage
of architecture and design in Britain from 1914 onwards.
One of the Society's prime objectives is education, with
education comes appreciation. With conservation, another
prime objective, comes the continued opportunity for extending
our knowledge about those buildings or artifacts, whether
important or humble, rare or commonplace as the red telephone
kiosk, that characterize the Twentieth Century in Britain. |

buildings and gardens. Each year we are consulted on over 6,000
planning applications involving demolition or alterations.
We are not opposed to change, but our intervention has helped
protect many buildings from unsympathetic alterations. It is
often through our influence that a better solution is found. |

country houses, redundant churches and chapels, disused mills
and warehouses, blighted streets and neighbourhoods, cottages
and town halls, railway stations, hospitals, military buildings
and asylums. |
