CADW: Welsh Historic Monuments is an executive agency of the National
Assembly for Wales responsible for carrying out the Assembly’s statutory duties
to record, protect and help conserve historic buildings and ancient monuments
throughout Wales. It compiles lists of buildings of special architectural or
historic interest and provides grants towards their repair. It also maintains
a Schedule of Ancient Monuments of national importance; controls work to these
sites; provides grants and enters into management agreements to assist with
their long-term preservation and funds programmes of archaeological work (generally
through the four Welsh Archaeological Trusts) to record archaeological sites
under threat and to provide advice to local planning authorities. Cadw is also
responsible for the conservation, presentation and marketing of 130 historic
sites directly in the care of the National Assembly for Wales.
