at risk across the country.

Restoration
has featured all styles and periods - from crofts and castles to
factories and country mansions - dating from medieval times to the
20th century.
Conservation
architect Ptolemy Dean and historic buildings surveyor Marianne
Suhr have explored every corner of these buildings, unearthing their
hidden secrets and bringing back to life the romance of their past.
Restoration
has also drawn on the memories and knowledge of local residents,
owners and conservation groups who love and value these buildings
and are fighting to preserve them for future generations.
Sunday's
final will see many of these people gathered together at The Tower
of London, eagerly awaiting the outcome of the national vote.
They
will be joined by Kate Humble who will be offering them support
and encouraging viewers to vote and donate.
A host
of celebrities will be adding their support and, for one last time,
calling on viewers to vote for their favourite building.
The
final will also see Griff, Marianne and Ptolemy revisit each of
the ten buildings, reminding viewers of their individual charm and
history, and their unique architectural value.
Liz
Forgan from the Heritage Lottery Fund, along with representatives
from all of Britain's heritage bodies, will also be joining Griff
