The Victorian Society
The Victorian Society is a UK charity, the national authority on Victorian and Edwardian architecture built between 1837 and 1914 in England and Wales. The Society fights to protect Victorian and Edwardian heritage from demolition or careless alteration. A key rationale in recent years is that reusing historic buildings generates much lower carbon emissions than demolition and rebuild and therefore helps tackle the climate emergency and the UK meet its legally binding net zero targets. As a membership organisation, the majority of its funding comes from subscription fees and events. As one of the National Amenity Societies, The Victorian Society is a statutory consultee on alterations to listed buildings, and by law must be notified of any work to a listed building which involves any element of demolition.

Its counterpart organisations for the protection of the heritage of earlier and later periods are the Georgian Group (for buildings erected between 1700 and 1840) and The Twentieth Century Society (for post-1914 buildings).
