Our Vision

When people talk about Tudor, Elizabethan and Jacobean times, they will instinctively think of Harvington Hall. When people talk of priest hides, they picture those at Harvington Hall. In all we do, we are true to the history of the Hall, Catholic history and the context of English history.
We want to ensure that the Hall is in a fit state to enable visitors to come, but it will be in managed numbers to ensure that the fabric of the Hall is not compromised. We want to hand it on to the next generation in a better condition that we inherited it. We will complete our Conservation Management Plan and will explore the opportunities that arise to develop a strategy for building maintenance, improvement, full use and interpretation that will benefit the Hall and our mission.
The grounds will play an increasingly important role in the life of the Hall as the range and number of events is increased to provide for our visitors, but it will part of our delivery of a more sustainable location.

Our sustainability will include making the Hall a more energy-efficient building, seek opportunities to move towards sustainable energy, improve the moat’s water quality and provide an environment that creates a diverse habitat for a greater variety of flora and fauna.
We will develop our links in the community, we will become an active part of our area and provide benefits to help the local economy, recreation and wider well-being.
Our participation with schools, parishes and universities will develop a greater appreciation of the history of the Hall, will develop projects on site and the wider context of the Hall and will continue to ensure that we flourish as a place of pilgrimage.
We will do all of this in a financially sensible way. We have scare resources, but we are committed to careful use, developing income streams and securing grant funding to deliver the improvements that we aspire to.
We will ensure that Our Vision is clearly articulated in a coordinated and deliverable strategy in a financially responsible way.
