$252,000
The Royal Oak Foundation raised over $250,000 in our 2019 National Trust appeal to support a major effort to protect Blickling’s remarkable library and make its collection better known to the public.
The Library at Blickling is one of the greatest libraries in Britain and was in dire need of preservation from environmental threats like moisture and pests.
