Foyle Steps Down

Dr. Jonathan Foyle, Chief Executive of World Monuments Fund Britain (WMFB), is stepping down. He will be leaving the organization on 19 December 2014. Dr. Foyle joined WMFB as Chief Executive in January 2008.

During his tenure, WMFB oversaw the preservation and presentation of numerous iconic sites including Strawberry Hill, Horace Walpole’s Gothic-revival castle in Twickenham; St. Paul’s Cathedral’s "Oculus"; Stowe House, the great eighteenth-century house and gardens in Buckinghamshire; and Coventry Cathedral and its salvaged stained glass.

Dr. Foyle is a well-known architectural historian, writer, and broadcaster. He is leaving WMFB to pursue his related interests in historic buildings.

A new head of WMFB will be hired to continue identifying and developing major building conservation projects.
