Conservation & Preservation Projects

The 1805 Club was founded in 1990 to preserve and care for the memorials  and graves of those associated with the sailing navy of the Georgian era.  They are a vital yet often neglected part of Britain’s naval heritage. No other organisation is dedicated to their preservation.

The 1805 Club has already ensured the survival of many Nelson monuments, and the memorials of those associated with him, both in the UK and overseas. It undertakes at least one major conservation project each year, as well as watching over and tending those already restored. 

If you would like to help with a Conservation or Memorial please contact The 1805 Club's Conservation Officer or Secretary.
