Broadway Trust

The Broadway Trust was founded in 1963 to protect the beauty, history and character of Broadway, and to see that it remains one of the most beautiful villages in the Cotswolds whilst continuing to be a thriving and lively community.

About: We take practical steps to conserve Broadway and its surroundings. In 1985 we acquired the manorial rights and ownership of the village greens and the frontage of St Eadburgh’s Church, and the Trust contributes to the maintenance of these for the benefit of the village. We also own and maintain some of the trees that line the High Street and were instrumental in the creation of the Millennium Wood on the escarpment.

The Trust keeps a watching brief on planning applications that affect Broadway, and the Trust works closely with the Parish Council and Wychavon District Council to ensure that new developments are architecturally appropriate and sympathetic to the village. Together with the Broadway Business Association, we lobby to improve to local amenities, enhance aesthetics and maintain security. The Trust is represented on a number of committees concerned with aspects of village life (e.g. Safety, Visitor Management & Neighbourhood Plan).

Join Us: At a time of increasing pressure for development the role of the Trust is of special importance in preserving the essential character of the village, and we welcome the participation of as many residents as possible in our activities, so that we can truly represent the community.  We should be pleased to have you as a member of the Trust.
