You can choose to have an Individual membership or you can share one with the Family or Joint options. A post shared by English Heritage (@englishheritage) A Senior membership is also available.

A post shared by English Heritage (@englishheritage) Monthly payments refer to a 12-month period of paying the cost monthly via Direct Debit and they are not available if you are buying a membership as a gift for someone else. Membership payments will help English Heritage to care for their historic sites.
There are a variety of memberships available for visitors including the Individual, Joint, Family and Lifetime options. Becoming a member of the National Trust will protect many of the sites and look after nature as well as the beauty and history. Membership will mean you get free entry to more than 500 sites and free parking at most National Trust sites.
You’ll receive a National Trust Handbook which includes information about the places it cares for. Three times a year, you’ll receive the National Trust Magazine which includes inspiration as well as interviews and news. A membership also gives you access to the online Members’ Area where you can see first-look previews and behind-the-scenes features.
