About Fort Amherst Heritage Trust:
Fort Amherst Heritage Trust owns the freehold of almost the entire site, which is a scheduled
ancient monument, designated in 1959 (1003364 - known as Brompton Lines).
Fort Amherst Heritage Trust depends on volunteers to maintain and operate the Fort.
The Trust has developed a culture of social responsibility and integration with the local
community.
Fort Amherst Heritage Trust was formed in 1998 as a charitable company limited by Guarantee
(charity number 1102399, company number 4362306). It succeeded the Fort Amherst & Lines
Trust, and in 2010 merged with Medway Historical Ordnance, a separate Charity established to
preserve and maintain the Fort’s nationally important collection of historical ordnance.
