About The Trust
The Wisbech Corn Exchange Conservation Trust was founded in 2017 by a small group of volunteers.
Between 2021 and 2022, the trust conducted a Project Viability Assessment supported with financial assistance from The Architectural Heritage Fund, the first stage toward realising the objectives and aims of the trust.
WCXCT is a CIO with the object of the preservation and restoration for the public benefit of the historic Grade II listed building known as ‘Wisbech Corn Exchange’ and the education of the public in its heritage. (Registered Charity number 1193625.)
The Trust invites you to help us bring about the transformation of this historical local building to provide contemporary multi-purpose facilities for all to enjoy.
