Background
Yorkshire Heritage Consultants is a solution-led heritage consultancy service for designated and non-designated heritage assets and protected landscapes.
Working with multi-disciplinary agencies within the private, public and charitable sectors we are able to offer our clients the support and management required for the sympathetic management of their listed buildings, conservation areas, non-designated heritage assets, registered parks and gardens and historic landscapes. We assess heritage significance including the contribution made by setting, create sympathetic schemes for change, support the appeals process where necessary and advise on strategic planning. We can also lead on grant applications for heritage at risk and offer advice on enhancements to thermal efficiency, improved access and the interpretation of historic sites.
Yorkshire Heritage Consultants was founded, and is run, by Beth Davies who has over 20 years’ experience in Heritage Management both in the public sector, most notably working as the Lead Conservation Officer for the Joint Accord of British National parks, and within the private sector.
We have extensive experience of working with individual owners, architectural practices, planning agents, Local Planning Authorities, and charitable organisations and currently act as the principal heritage consultancy firm for Campaign to Protect Rural England North Yorkshire (CPRENY).

Beth Davies
Director
Each of Beth’s favourite childhood books, from The Borrowers, and The Secret Garden to Minnow on the Say, involved an historic building full of mysteries and secrets. This childhood fascination, with the different worlds that historic structures could open up, led to a History MA (Hons) at Edinburgh followed by a PGDip in Heritage Management at Sheffield.
Beth has roughly twenty years’ experience of working in Heritage Management, most notably working as the Building Conservation Officer for the North York Moors National Park. Here she met Ed and acted as the Lead Conservation Officer for the Joint Accord of British National Parks.
Twelve years ago Beth launched the business which operated for many years under the name 1Voyageltd before she recently rebranded the business as Yorkshire Heritage Consultants. Beth still gets a surge of excitement every time she visits a new site but she also gains great satisfaction from knowing that she has helped her clients achieve their goals.
