Axbridge Town Trust

Axbridge Town Trust

The Axbridge Town Trust was created by the Charity Commissioners in 1889, defining its objectives and listing the assets to be held by the Trustees.

Axbridge Town Trust retains many of the assets it was given over a century ago. Major assets include rights over The Square and its administration, the Town Hall, certain smaller properties and pieces of land and various artefacts. Some of the artefacts are managed by other bodies on behalf of the Trust. These include the local museum (King John’s Hunting Lodge) and the Somerset Record Office, now located in the Somerset Heritage Centre.
