The Design &Heritage Group meets monthly.
D&H works with and through many major public and national organisations
to protect the heritage of Guildford, utilising the range of expertise
of the Society’s members and ensuring the timely identification of
heritage issues.
D&H works with other local conservation, heritage and local history
groups to increase the general public's appreciation and understanding
of Guildford's heritage.
D&H undertakes specific heritage projects or, where appropriate, supports projects undertaken by others.
D&H encourages architects and local organisations with biennial Design Awards.
