THE PETWORTH COTTAGE TRUST 

To advance the education of the public by affording them access to the cottage at 346 High Street in Petworth restored and furnished as a typical cottage on the Leconfield Estate as it might have been in Petworth's heyday as an estate town in 1910 or thereabouts.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
