Welcome to Endangered British: Celebrating and Preserving Our Heritage

Endangered British is more than just a website—it’s a heartfelt project dedicated to preserving the rich and diverse heritage of Britain. In an era where modernization often overshadows the traditional, this project is about “keeping history alive”.

How can you support?

Connect with the individuals and organisations who are keeping British heritage alive, and support them!

With almost 3000 individual entries and contact information, and around 200 pages of information, this will hopefully become a valued resource to help each of us better support those who are keeping our heritage alive.

This initiative, spearheaded by Ms Bella St John, seeks to raise awareness and provide tangible support to the many heritage experiences that define the essence of British culture.

“My hope is that this supports the work already being done by sooo many wonderful individuals and organisations, but who often only have the resources to focus on one particular area. 

In this site, we have endeavoured to cover a wide range of heritage topics in the one place – and if we haven’t included something that should be included – please let us know. 

…and in particular, we encourage you to go to the Heritage Organisations page where we have done our best to list as many groups as possible.

This project is a passion for me – it is not a business, it is not an organisation of any kind.  It is simply one woman who, along with her small team of Elves, loves British heritage and who wants to step up and do her part to support as best she can.”

More Than Just Endangered

While the term “endangered” might suggest a focus solely on what is at imminent risk of disappearing, “Endangered British” is about much more. It is a celebration of the entirety of Britain’s heritage—those elements that are still thriving, as well as those that need our help just to survive. It is about recognizing the value in all aspects of our history, from the crafts that have been passed down through generations to the native species that inhabit our landscapes, and the traditional experiences that continue to shape Britain’s national identity.
