===Preservation trusts===

They also maintain a register of thousands of [[listed building]]s,<ref>{{cite web |title=English Heritage |url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.19322 |website=www.english-heritage.org.uk |access-date=18 July 2020}}</ref> those which are considered of most importance to the historic and cultural heritage of the country.
