Welcome to the Jericho Living Heritage Trust
The Jericho Living Heritage Trust seeks to bring together all aspects of the local community of Jericho. The trust is a vehicle for celebrating the enduring traditions of the neighbourhood and for maintaining the rich and diverse artistic, cultural and industrial heritage for future generations.

Announcing
Jericho 200 Photographic Portraits
~ Your chance to suggest someone for a memorable portrait ~
Last year, the Jericho Living Heritage Trust asked residents to suggest ways to mark 200 years of our distinctive, vibrant, and culturally rich neighbourhood. From a wide range of ideas, the Trustees decided to commission renowned local photographer, Fran Monks to take portraits of people whose contribution to the community has been significant and sustained.
Please suggest someone by the end of May by going to https://www.jlht.org/j200portraits
Funds for this initiative came from the Jericho 200 ‘In Conversation’ event last November between Sir Philip Pullman and James Naughtie, to whom we are most grateful.
