Support, Sponsorship and Donations

In recent years the society, when funds available, has supported or sponsored events, publications, and other activities that fulfil the first society’s first two objectives as detailed in our constitution. These are:

1.     To stimulate public interest in, and appreciation of, Georgian architecture and town planning, and the history and culture of the Georgian period.

2.     To stimulate local interest and pride in the history of Kingston upon Hull and the historic East Riding especially relating to the Georgian period.

Amongst the activities we have supported or sponsored have been concerts of Georgian music, a Georgian Day at Beverley Guildhall, the provision of plaques on two Georgian buildings linked to important local people, the restoration of two Georgian monuments, the publication of a historical map of Beverley, and the cataloguing of relevant archives.
