At its heart is the Heritage at Risk Register, an online database containing details of each site known to be at risk. It is analysed and updated annually and this leaflet summarises the results. Heritage at Risk teams are now in each of our nine local offices, delivering national expertise locally. The good news is that we are on target to save 25% (1,137) of the sites that were on the Register in 2010 by 2015. From Clifford’s Fort, North Tyneside to the Church of St Andrew, Haughton le Skerne, this success is down to good partnerships with owners, developers, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), Natural England, councils and local groups. It will be increasingly important to build on these partnerships to achieve the overall aim of reducing the number of sites on the Register.

There are things that make each region special and, once lost, will mean a sense of our region’s character is lost too. Comparing the North East to the national Register shows that 32.3% of all cemeteries and 15.4% of all types of cairns are in our region. There are 292 entries on the North East 2015 Heritage at Risk Register, making up 5.3% of the national total of 5,478 entries. The Register provides an annual snapshot of historic sites known to be at risk from neglect, decay or inappropriate development. Our local HAR team, led by Kate Wilson, continues to work with owners, funders and other stakeholders to find the right solutions for sites on the Register.
