The Landmark Trust is a British building conservation charity, founded in 1965 by Sir John and Lady Smith, that rescues buildings of historic interest or architectural merit and then makes them available for holiday rental. The Trust's headquarters is at Shottesbrooke in Berkshire. Most trust properties are in England, Scotland and Wales. Some are on Lundy Island off the coast of north Devon, operated under lease from the National Trust. In continental Europe there are Landmark sites in Belgium, France and Italy. Four properties are in the United States—all in Vermont—one of which, Naulakha, was the home of Rudyard Kipling in the 1890s. The American sites are owned by an independent sister charity Landmark Trust USA. There is also an Irish Landmark Trust.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Irish Landmark )〕 Those who rent "Landmarks" provide a source of funds to support restoration costs and building maintenance. The trust has 190 properties,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/handbook/ )〕 of varying sizes. Landmark sites include forts, farmhouses, manor houses, mills, cottages, castles, gatehouses, follies and towers and represent historic periods from medieval to 20th century. In May 2015 five life-sized sculptures, ''Land'', were placed near the centre and at four compass points of the UK in a commission by the Landmark Trust to celebrate its 50th anniversary. They were at Lowsonford (Warwickshire), Lundy (Bristol Channel), Clavell Tower (Dorset), Saddell Bay (Scotland), and the Martello Tower (Aldeburgh, Suffolk).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Land - An art installation for all to mark Landmark’s 50th year )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sir Antony Gormley sculptures placed at five UK beauty spots )〕 The following lists aim to be complete and illustrate both the variety of structures and geographical spread of the trust. ==Properties in the Channel Islands== *Nicolle Tower, St Clement, Jersey *Fort Clonque, Alderney 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Landmark Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
