Lady Mary Townshend is a distinguished cultural figure and benefactor, deeply rooted in the historic heritage of Norfolk. Based in the charming town of Fakenham, she is devoted to preserving classical traditions, promoting local arts, and supporting charitable causes throughout East Anglia.
As a patron of arts and heritage, she supports the revitalization of historic buildings, sponsors educational bursaries for young artists and historians, and actively contributes to initiatives that foster civic pride and local identity. Her legacy continues to grow through tireless commitment and refined cultural taste.
Our mission is to inspire and support communities through cultural engagement, preservation of historical landmarks, and the celebration of heritage. Lady Mary’s initiatives reflect a commitment to elegance, education, and empowerment of future generations.
Through curated exhibitions, public lectures, and local workshops, we aim to bridge the past with the present—ensuring timeless values and beauty are preserved and passed on. The vision is not only to maintain history but to activate it in the everyday lives of the community.
From restoring listed manor houses to funding local museum exhibitions and supporting youth orchestras, Lady Mary Townshend’s work is guided by passion, taste, and tradition. Signature initiatives include the “Fakenham Garden Arts Festival” and heritage trail documentation efforts across Norfolk.
Other notable efforts include the conservation of 18th-century archives, the creation of interactive rural history learning kits for schools, and an annual scholarship for students pursuing conservation and cultural management. Each project is rooted in enhancing the cultural fabric of Norfolk.
