Leaving a legacy

About the Trust

Founded in 1976, the North Craven Building Preservation Trust is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the built environment of North Craven and to providing a museum service. The Trust offers the opportunity for you to leave your own legacy, helping us continue our important work for the benefit of the local community and our visitors.

Housed in The Folly, Settle’s only Grade I listed building, the Trust provides expertise and resources about the cultural and architectural history of the area. The Museum of North Craven Life is open to the public and anyone is welcome to request access to its Library and Archives, which cover a range of subjects of local interest.

Bequests to the Trust have a significant impact, enabling us to secure the future of historic and architecturally important buildings at risk and maintain The Folly and the Grade II listed Zion Chapel. They help us to preserve and acquire new material for the collections of the Museum of North Craven Life, and to develop key posts relating both to buildings research and to museum activities.

 

“The Trust’s supporters are key to its continuing development as stewards of the area’s architectural heritage and the Museum of North Craven Life.”

Heather Lane, Chair, NCBPT

How to include the Trust in your will

The information below is intended to help you when you visit your solicitor to make or update your will. There are two main ways of leaving a legacy to the Trust. Some wording for each is provided below. In both examples, please note that the Trust has charitable status for all UK and USA tax purposes.

Pecuniary Legacy

‘I give free of tax to the North Craven Building Preservation Trust (NCBPT) the sum of £….. (preferably inflation linked to the Retail Price Index) and declare that the receipt of the NCBPT’s Chair of Trustees shall be full and sufficient discharge.’

Residuary Legacy

‘Subject to the payment of my debts, funeral and testamentary expenses, I give free of tax the whole of my estate not otherwise disposed of by this my will (alternatively, x percent of my residuary estate) to the North Craven Building Preservation Trust and declare that the receipt of the NCBPT’s Chair of Trustees shall be a full and sufficient discharge.’

Bequeathing objects or archives

If you are thinking of giving memorabilia or collections to the Museum of North Craven Life, please contact the Honorary Curator in the first instance to discuss the most appropriate way to do this.

If you are considering making a legacy bequest to the North Craven Building Preservation Trust, we would be delighted to hear from you. It helps the Trust to have an indication of planned bequests and a chance to discuss how you would like us to acknowledge your support. If you would like to talk confidentially to someone at the Trust, please complete the contact form below.
