The Friends of Hylands House was formed in 1995 when a group of local people decided to get together with an aim to assist and encourage the development of Hylands House and Hylands Park. Together they worked to raise funds for the preservation, maintenance, repair and improvement of the estate. This followed the local council’s decision to embark upon a restoration plan for the house which until then had sadly been neglected for many years.
It is a totally autonomous voluntary organisation, fully constituted, with a committed and thriving membership. An elected executive committee oversees the general management and direction of the Friends.
