Welcome to The Haslemere Society
 |
The Society has a very distinguished pedigree with its origins going back to 1884 when Sir Robert Hunter (one of the three co-founders of the National Trust) set up the Commons Preservation Society, which in turn became the Haslemere Society. The role of the Society now is to protect and enhance the town, nearby villages and the surrounding countryside by challenging detrimental changes and encouraging the interest and support of residents and members.
Haslemere is a historic market town of great charm. Its setting in the glorious Surrey Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB), makes it a much sought after place in which to live and work. It is dynamic and lively and the Society does not resist change, but seeks high standards of appropriate development. It is as concerned with the provision and planning of amenities and facilities as with conservation and protection.
The Haslemere Society has a substantial membership whose influence is highly respected. By becoming a member, you can join in shaping the future of Haslemere. New members are always welcome.
The Haslemere Society, registered charity No: 0255287, is a member of the Civic Trust, the Federation of Sussex Amenity Societies and the Haslemere Initiative. It is affiliated to the Campaign to Protect Rural England and to the Haslemere Educational Museum.
